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.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

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.

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?

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.

Our wings are not tired.
I got a better description of the project this morning when I drove him to school. He needs the 10 selections on a CD with just a listing and short blurb on each. Then he needs to take one of them and create a complete "video" in a format of his choice. It can be his friends jumping around on video playing air guitar, flash animation, whatever. He'll probably do some combination. Betcha he picks one of the Rap songs.
He really appreciates all the suggestions, as do I. Guess I'll have to YouTube his video.

I love it when kids' projects are so fun for us. I rec a German rap group of the early 90s called Die Fantastischen Fier, who had a hit on MTV Europe at the time called "Die Da". ("Her there.") German is great for rap, since practically everything rhymes with something. This song was of the 'goofy white boys ogle girls' genre of rap. That's a rap genre, right?
