Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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.
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.
BTW, do you know if The Trypes ep The Explorers Hold ever came out on cd?
I don't think it did. Do you want/need a copy?
I would love a copy!
I'm sure I had a tape of it at some point -- but by now it's probably disintigrated and I have no cassette player anyway.
OK! Incidentally, the emails from Parks & Wildlife are from me. I was logged in under the wrong account at first.
No Emo, including a stick figure of a teary person with knife.
Priceless.
