Oldelaf's "Bérénice" is a beautiful love song with a somewhat tragic (but very comical!) ending. You'll both laugh at and be moved by Oldelaf's poetic language and soulful crooning.

Enjoy Oldelaf's quirky humor, as displayed in his introduction to his two backup musicians who come from wildly different backgrounds, to say the least. Then listen to his satirical song "Vendredi" (Friday), where he describes a typical weekend for the average bored (and boring?) French guy.

Few people can escape Oldelaf's imaginary death sentences: from children who wake up too early, to people who wear socks with sandals, to people who copy the music from the film Drive (such as Oldelaf himself), to people who actually support the death penalty. It's a good thing this video is just satirical!

Oldelaf, aka Olivier Delafosse, sings "Je mange" (I Eat). This darkly humorous video paints a portrait of a modern man's dysfunctional relationship with food. If it sounds a little too familiar to you, that could mean it's time for a game of table tennis (with a partner)!

In "La Belle Histoire," Oldelaf tells the "beautiful story" of a couple falling in love. We won't spoil the ending, but be prepared for a surprising, humorous twist. It wouldn't be an Oldelaf video without one!

Oldelaf sings "Les Mains Froides" (Cold Hands). It's a sweet, romantic song taking place in Paris, the capital of romance. He is very shy, but she takes charge and makes him feel at ease. She doesn't even mind his cold hands....
