Raclette hits in France
DJ Matafan: “Raclette Party” (2020)
This is probably the most-played song about raclette in France.

The video has passed 1.8 million views on YouTube. Watch the video or listen on Spotify:
DJ Matafan: “Magic Raclette” (2023)

Mcfly and Carlito: “L’hymne de la raclette” (2016)
France’s two most famous YouTubers dedicated an anthem to raclette, “L’hymne de la raclette” (“The Raclette Anthem”), in December 2016. Their description fits in three sentences: “Elle nous a manqué. Elle est de retour. Nous lui déclarons notre amour.” (“We missed her. She’s back. We declare our love to her.”) More than a million views later, it’s safe to say the message got through. The track is only available on YouTube.
Swiss songs about raclette
MC Roger and David Charles: “Racler comme jamais” (2017)
In French-speaking Switzerland, this duo turned Maître Gims’s hit “Sapés comme jamais” into an ode to cheese, “Racler comme jamais” (“Scraping like never before”). According to their description, the style is “plus rustique, à l’image de la Suisse” (“more rustic, just like Switzerland”). The result: more than 2.2 million views on YouTube, a record for a song about raclette. The lyrics are published by the artists under the YouTube video, and the track is on Spotify.
Trauffer: “Raclette Reggae” (2021), the cheesemakers’ official song
Marc Trauffer, a star of Swiss-German popular music, recorded a “Raclette Reggae” with the RIGUGEGL Band for Raclette Suisse, the Swiss raclette cheese trade organisation. On the Raclette Suisse website, he explains that reggae isn’t his usual style, but that they had to create something that puts people in a good mood. In the photo, you can see him in a raclette gondola in the brand’s colours. The track is also on Spotify.
Z’Hansrüedi: “Fendant, Raclette” (2012)
Fendant, a white wine from Valais, and raclette: the perfect couple deserved its own song. This track by Z’Hansrüedi appears on the album “Gondo”, released in 2012. Listen on Spotify:

To sing along with the family
BBeauxparleurs: “Raclette, fondue et tartiflette” (2025)

The very first one: “La Râclette” (Sion, 1909)
The oldest song about raclette we have found dates from 1909. That year, at the cantonal exhibition in Sion, raclette was declared the “national dish of Valais”, and a song called “La Râclette” was composed for the occasion. Valais libraries hold the sheet music, a “popular Valais song” printed in Sion in 1909, associated with the names of Oscar and Marguerite Perrollaz. We have not found any official recording of it online: if you know of one, let us know!
