Once you get past the very high pitched singing, this song is amusing, especially the very nice film of Paris.

(Thanks, Danny!)

Hold the phone, it’s Podcast No. 32! It was time to dig deep, to soul search and cook up a serious dish of French music with a side dish of soul. Nino Ferrer often said he wish he was black (yeah, baby), André Brasseur is simply possessed by the devil but in a good way, The Velvelettes show off their French skills Motown style, Denise Brousseau does Gainsbourg and by special request, Catherine Desmarets tries her hand at computer dating, sixties style. Oh and for dessert, Alica Dona covers an Italian classic! Yum!

Playlist
Nino Ferrer – Le Roi d’Angleterre
André Brasseur – The Duck
The Velvelettes – Je veux crier
Denise Brousseau – N’écoute pas les idoles
Catherine Desmarets – Les petites croix
Alice Dona – Stasera no no no
