Nellie McKay -- Dog Song
Nellie McKay -- Dog Song
This one's pretty good:
...doesn't match Ennio's version (and, Edda Dell'Orso -- love the 'wordless songstress'), but Metallica did a decent cover.
One of the great songs of all time and banned (!) on many radio stations. 'Je T'Aime Moi Non Plus' by Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. These two video versions includes video clips and still photos of the beautiful Jane Birkin.
Short Version
Longer Version
Curious if anyone remembered the 1969 Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg song I posted?
It's the post right before this. Jane is beautiful in the videos, but the song itself is a beautiful and the tune very catchy.
...enchanting melody, and a striking beauty!
Here's one of my favorite French [Armenian-French] vocalists.
Charles Aznavour -- What Makes a Man
CHARLES AZNAVOUR Biography
"...his compositions, although considered tame by any modern standard, were regarded as too risqué for French radio and were banned from the airwaves for a decade or more, from the late '40s through the end of the 1950s; American publishers seemed equally reticent about them, as he discovered on a visit to New York in 1948.....A teetotaler and a racing car enthusiast, Aznavour has been married three times and has three children..."
...and, another.
Les Rita Mitsouko -- Melodica
(RIP, Fred)
...last French video from me today -- Camille is avant-garde!
...'round that time -- jazz noon!
...from my 'roller rink days' --
["...only if you try, can you have hope--
you can live in sorrow, sadness, or survive--
you can lose, but what will be the result of--
i drink to the health of those who have not prospered--
i drink to make a stop to torture and to death--
i drink for you; for your future..."]

This one can be either a "feel good" or "feel bad" song, depending upon how you look at it . . .
And here is a Shel Silverstein Classic that I used to sing in bars out on The Wild East Side, "Back in The Day" (and that actually has about thirty verses . . .)
Hi Cameron. Can you dance? :-)
The greatest fight song EVER!
