Shannon eventually recognizes words written on Rousseau's map as lyrics
from the song Beyond the Sea, which she heard at the end of the French
version of Finding Nemo while living in France with a former boyfriend.
She sings the song to Sayid at the end of the episode.
These words lead to Sayid and Shannon decoding clues on the map which
lead them to piece the three maps together like a puzzle creating a
triangle in the middle of which might just be the Black Rock.
The finding Nemo version of Beyond the Sea was sung by Bobbie
Williams. It is based on the 1960 version performed by Bobby Darren and
written by Jack Lawrence. The original 1946 La Mer was written by Charles Trenet. The lyrics and meaning of this song are very different from the American version. La Mer was something of a patriotic anthem in post-WWII France. You can read a history of the song here.
It is possible that La Mer (the French version) is the song playing in Rousseau's music box, but this has not yet been confirmed.
The song didn't actually play in the episode, but the curious can listen to a clip of Trenet's version here, Track 7
