rfmcdonaldI stayed up last night practicing for the upcoming medley of French standards. Said medley includes Françoise Hardy's "Tous les garçons et les filles", a rather nice angst song: "oui mais moi, je vais seule, par les rues, l'âme en peine/oui mais moi, je vais seule, car personne ne m'aime."
I haven't heard Hardy's version, but I have heard the Eurythmics' version, an intermittant B-side in their early years that actually got released as a single in 1985. It's a good cover of a French-language song by an Anglophone band, much better than Luscious Jackson's 1995 cover of Gainsbourg's "69 année erotique". Annie actually pronounces the consonants well, and enunciates the syllables decipherably. Their version is much quicker than the version we're playing with this afternoon, though.
3 o'clock at Zippers today, if anyone's interested. Tickets are $C10 at the door.
