JE SUIS UN ROCK STAR OR, I WAS A MIDDLE-AGED HIPSTER MYNAH BIRD ~ Popthomology

Busy day today spent child wrangling and music recording, so no pithy or pissy words from me today. Instead I will provide you with several rare and valuable YouTube videos of some of France's greatest pop music exports from the 1960s, or perhaps all of them. One of these songs is the cover I am working on now. You may notice that all of these songs are in French. I do not speak French. At all. This is not stopping me from covering a song sung in French, for even if I mangle the pronunciation, well...c'est la vie, non? Can you guess which one it's gonna be?

Sylvie Vartan, "Si Je Chante"

Johnny Hallyday, "Je Cherche Une Fille"

Francoise Hardy, "La Fille Avec Toi"

Jacques Dutronc, "Et Moi Et Moi Et Moi"

I consider it quite an honor that you chose Illinois Jacquet to represent me not that I would compare my playing to his in any way, but Jacquet was a real soul-cat.

Thank you."
