And a fellow would know that his darling/ Had heard ev'ry word of his song

This is another one of those posts that probably only one of my readers will understand and/or care about, but here goes. In the song "J'en ai marre" by Alizée:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVlrqTw7wjM

There's a section of the chorus that goes:

J'en ai marre de ces cyniques
Et dans les prés les colchiques
J'en ai marre d'en avoir marre
Aussi

(I'm fed up with these cynics
And the flowers in the prairies
And I'm fed up with being fed up
Too)

The song is about Alizée listing off all the million different things she's sick of, and talking about how she's only happy when she's in the bathtub with her goldfish. What? Are Britney Spears' lyrics any better? Shut up.

Anyway, every time I hear "dans les prés les colchiques" as "dans les prés de Kashyyyk" (in the prairies of Kashyyyk). I really think that it would improve the song if Alizée were upset with everything on this planet and on fictional ones full of Wookiees.

Alizée really should have just stuck with the one hit song.

Those boots are awesome.

I watched the clip with the sound off, while at the same time listening to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6riY-103vbc&NR=1

It makes her look like a line-dancer.

Kim - Wait, you mean Moi, Lolita or this one? I love Alizée! I like Fifty, Sixty, too.

Elisabeth - I kind of want the whole outfit. I couldn't wear it out in public, but it would just be awesome to have. I have to have the outfit before I can learn the dance.

Katie - Wherever did you get the idea to do that? Was it accidental? You sound like a dude, talking about how you watched Alizée with the sound off! :D

"...if Alizée were upset with everything on this planet and on fictional ones full of Wookiees."

Fictional?

And okay, I'll admit: I watched the video with the sound off. A *lot*.

I've watched it (with the sound on) a lot myself. I want to be her.

Just kidding about the fictional-Kashyyyk thing. Of course it exists! I think Santa vacations there.

No, I was already watching Fry and Laurie, and I didn't want to listen to Alizée because that's not my style at all. Blech.
