"A term for a French drinking song, frequently coupled with chanson pour danser (or ""song for dancing""). It is different from the air a boire primarily by the period the term was used, and that chansons pour boire are usually for one voice with lute accompaniment, and airs a boire are for multiple voices with lute accompaniment. Both are fairly simple; strophic, with syllabic settings of light texts. The texts are usually about drinking and are humorous." Fanchon - Chanson a boire
