Going through the album Zounds! What Sounds by The Polyphonics and ran into a strange situation with the last track on side A. The label and back of the album both list a song called "Under the Paris Skies" but credited to Jacques Offenbach.


Listening to the full album on YouTube, that song (Sous le ciel de Paris) is on the album (though obviously not written by Offenbach). However, after that song ends, there's a melody of another piece I don't recognize and Offenbach's famous "Galop infernal" (aka "can-can"). Anyone recognize the melody beginning at around 12:12 in this video? I almost want to say it's Belle nuit, ô nuit d'amour (Barcarolle) but I'm not sure.
