A shout out to any of my musicologically endowed friends: Do you know the name of the genre of French music usually played on the accordion, usually minor key, and often in 3/4 time, to which much of the Amelie soundtrack belongs? Is this even a genre?

Try searching for folk french instrumental music. Most are in three/four since it is a waltze, so much easier to dance like a fool to. Yaay Amelie! I went to Paris and renacted the Sacre Coeur scene. Someone actually spray painted blue arrows all over the floor!
