I suspect it means something along the lines of "who wants to try to get =
a hangover"? Songs of that era were invariably about either drinking or =
"love". The word migraine comes form "hemikrania", and thus specifically =
refers to the medical condition, although I suspect in this case it is =
being used more generally.
Best wishes

I'm cataloguing a bookcase full of old LPs. I've just run across a track
called Qui veut chasser une migraine (1615) by Gabriel Bataille on an =
album
of Renaissance dances. Does anyone know what the title would have meant =
in
modern English? With my rudimentary French (unused in 45 years) I'm not =
sure
if it has something to do (sarcastically) with chasing after (hunting =
for) a
headache or getting rid of one (driving one out). And would a migraine =
have
meant the same thing 400 years ago that it means today?
Just curious.
