Joe Dassin – "Les Champs-Élysées" (1969)
2009/06/18
I was watching "The Darjeeling Limited" again last night. Wes Anderson is so clever. I guess you either "get it" and love his movies or you don't and you think they're boring or dumb. I "get it" though and they are eye candy too.
Anyway… at the end as the credits start to role is this song by Joe Dassin. I found myself singing along.
"Au soleil, sous la pluie, à midi ou à minuit,
Il y a tout ce que vous voulez aux Champs-Elysées"
C'est cool! N'est-ce pas?
If your vocabulary does not extend further than the phrase "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi?", perhaps the pictures in the video will help you figure out what he is saying. (Or you could just read the translation here too, but that is no fun.)

I'm counting this one as 'G-inspired', even if you didn't give me credit in the post. I have so few accomplishments in life.
I suppose I could've mentioned it was YOU who started watching 'The Darjeeling Limited' and I happened to join you. So is it 'G-inspired' or 'G-influenced'?
