French Track in Groundhog Day??
In the end credits to Groundhog Day it lists a track called "La Bourree Du Celibataire" {Jacques Brel} Which sounds like a 50's French pop song. But I've just watched the DVD again and I can see no sign of it. It's also a pity about the number of George Fenton cues that are missing from the soundtrack. I don't suppose there is a bootleg soundtrack is there?

If you activate subtitles, you will see Bourree Du Celibataire mentioned when
Bill Murray plays it on piano during the lesson sequence. He plays it again
(just the opening few bars) when he sits in with the lounge band for his
piano teacher, but the subtitles only identify it as a ballad on that occasion.

The song also provides the words for the French poem that Bill Murray recites to Andy McDowell in the restaurant:
[...]
La fille que j'aimera
Sera comme bon vin
Qui se bonifiera
Un peu chaque matin
[...]

The part in the movie where the subtitles say that Bill Murry is playing "La Bouree du Celibataire (Jacques Brel)" is actually Rachmaninoff's "Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini, 18th Variation".
