 "Modern Times" was the first film where Chaplin's voice is heard as he performs Léo Daniderff's comical song ""Je cherche après Titine"".Chaplin's version is also known as "The Nonsense Song", as his character sings it in gibberish.The lyrics are nonsensical but appear to contain words from French and Italian; the use of deliberately half-intelligible wording for comic effect points the way towards Adenoid Hynkel's speeches in "The Great Dictator".
