Hi, there. I have a site that seems right up your alley! When I
studied abroad in France, we would go to the computer lab and
use this site pretty often to work on our listening skills (and
grammar):

http://lepointdufle.net/chansons.htm

This page has a list of songs (some even tell what level of
difficulty it is) along with some kind of activity. Many of
them are cloze activities, but others are "click on the word in
the lyrics that is incorrect" or other things. I love this site
and use it with my French III's and IV's.

Notes: I ALWAYS PREVIEW the activities myself first. Though
most of them are great, not all of the songs (or videos) are
school-appropriate in the States. I also always do the
activities myself, to judge what the difficulty level really
is. Another problem I run into from time to time is that some
pages will be blocked on our school computers, because they are
on "personal web page"s.
