Frère Jacques (English translation: "Brother John") was the Luxembourgish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1977, performed in French by Anne-Marie B..
As the title suggests, the song contains a reference to the nursery rhyme of the same name. The singer compares the childish rhyme to her current adulthood, singing about how she longs to have a relationship with some of her brother's friends.
The song was performed seventh on the night (following Germany's Silver Convention with Telegram and preceding Portugal's Os Amigos with Portugal No Coração). At the close of voting, it had received 17 points, placing 16th in a field of 18.
It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1978 Contest by Baccara with Parlez-Vous Français?.
