The authorities may try to silence the children's native tongue, but they cannot stop the Cajuns from playing their distinctive music. The Breaux family records Jolie Blonde, which will eventually be called the Cajun national anthem. In the 1940's, Harry Choates records a hit version of the song which chronicles the sad departure of a pretty blond woman (jolie blonde) from the one who loves her.
