Zebda: Cool song. Lame video (although it has a brief cameo with "Lucien" from Amélie ).
Willy Denzey: Wait did I call the other video lame? This is a bad imitation of a bad rap video. In short, hi-larious.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

For Belgium, there's extra cool points in Plastic Bertrand's "Ca Plane Pour Moi".
I totally forgot about that. I'll also send that via buffistarawk2.

Cool. The idea of French and rap leads me also to recommend MC Solaar. And Serge Gainsbourg's "Requiem Pour un Con" is a much-sampled bass-and-drum minimalist funk workout.

MC Solaar is awesome. And one of my celebrity sightings when I lived in Paris.
I actually figured he was too well known to include, but I could certainly send some of his stuff. My favorites are "Caroline" and "Bouge de là". I just looked on You Tube and his "Nouveau Western" video there has translated lyrics with it.

He may be too well known, I don't know. I was trying to think of semi-obscurities that Laura's son may connect with.
I just sent (finally) "Brazil" and "Fa Ce-La" (the 7" version) to buffistarawk2, and am working on a few more Feelies songs before sending some Eurotrash for Laura. Are people interested in the Feelies just interested in B-sides or album tracks, too?

MC Solaar lyrics are a thing of beauty, from the cultural references to plays on words. My favorite? The chorus of Caroline "Je suis l'as de trèfle qui pique ton cœur, Caro-Line…" where he manages to use all four card suits.

I speak no French, but I like his delivery.

I never saw it, but I believe his "La Belle et le bad boy" was used in the series finale of Sex and the City.

I don't think it did. Do you want/need a copy?
