\u00c7a le susurre

Sometimes you don’t have anything to say, so you just kind of throw a song out there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Catch!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This one’s an alterna-pop classic from the late-80’s about…uh…physical feelings. It’s called “C’est Comme \u00c7a”:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you haven’t ever said “\u00c7a le susurre a mes entournures” aloud before, I strongly recommend it. It’s really fun to say. It makes your mouth go all pouty.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Go ahead.<\/p>\n

Try it.<\/p>\n

Yes, in front of a mirror.<\/p>\n

See what I mean?<\/p>\n

Pouty.<\/p>\n

I’m pretty sure that’s why the French have such a reputation for sexiness–it’s just a byproduct of what their mouths look like when they talk. <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, go and Google Catherine Ringer. She’s the singer. She is tr\u00e8s cool and vaguely porno.<\/p>\n

Do it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spin has a few other ideas of what French beats might be good to listen to:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.spin.com\/articles\/french-modern-rock-essentials-phoenix-daft-punk\/<\/a><\/p>\n

A few I’ve never heard or heard of…but Noir D\u00e9sir are fantastic if you can get past the fact that the lead singer Bertrand Cantat beat his girlfriend to death. (Really, in 2004. He’s currently on parole.) They’re sort of a post-Grunge group.<\/p>\n

Try their songs “Lost”<\/a> and “Tostaky.” <\/a><\/p>\n

“Tostaky” is one of my very favorite workout tunes. For what it’s worth.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I’m also a big fan of les N\u00e9gresses Vertes. Their late 80’s record M’lah hasn’t got a bad tune on it, if you like quirky\/melting pot\/French-Arab-Spanish stuff with accordions in it. Their original lead singer Helno died in the early 90’s due to his long term heroin addiction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Voil\u00e0 l’\u00e9t\u00e9<\/a> or Zobi la Mouche<\/a> would be very…representational.<\/p>\n

Yeah, I don’t get the French love of the accordion either. It’s a dance hall holdover.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I haven’t converted you, have I?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
