And also shout out to Claude François, who first sang "Comme d'habitude" and co-wrote the lyrics with Gilles Thibaut and the music with Jacques Revaux!

Fun fact: the original version of My Way is in French, and was sung by Claude François! It has the same music, but the lyrics are about that sad feeling when you know a romance is over but nobody can quite take the step of breaking it off yet. My Way is obviously iconic, but "Comme d'habitude" is also great! You should listen to it if you haven't yet!

Trivia: Many people don't know the "Mississippi Delta" isn't a river delta in any way and it is 100s of miles from the mouth of the river, which is one of the most striking river deltas on a world map. Confusingly, the actual delta must be referred to as the Mississippi River Delta lest people think you mean an ordinary section of the river far upstream.

I know the traditional Aioli is just garlic and olive oil but a version with eggs is very common in stores, not just in the US.
