Les Sardines is a French party song performed by entertainer Patrick Sébastien. Built around the humorous image of people pressed together like sardines, it became associated with festive gatherings, audience participation, and communal dancing. Short excerpts later found a natural place in online videos featuring packed rooms, group celebrations, and deliberately chaotic edits. Its enduring usefulness comes from an easy-to-recognize refrain, an upbeat tempo, and a visual premise that creators can apply whenever too many people occupy too little space.
