Yes, I've heard that - or, actually, I've often heard people sing the
repeated "tres bien ensemble" as "play piano song".  I can't criticize,
though; the Rush song "Circumstances" includes these lines:

        Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
        The more that things change, the more they stay the same

And for the longest time I was trying to figure out exactly
what it was that "shows" that the more things change the
more they stay the same.
