Since real news about Alizée is pretty scarce these days, we’re kind of hard-pressed to come up with Alizée related discussions (see gripes in several other threads :) ). One option is the “Alizée fantasy” thread, such as the recent ones we’ve had about being stranded on an island with Alizée or Alizée coming to perform in your hometown. Here, for your consideration, is my own contribution to the “Alizée fantasy” genre:
Let’s imagine that Alizée’s third album is a big hit in the U.S.A. Some enterprising record executive then gets the idea to produce a tribute album of other artists performing songs from Alizée’s first two albums. What are some artist/song match-ups that you would like to see (or hear, actually)?
The first one that I thought of was Los Straitjackets performing an instrumental version of J.B.G. Their surf/space/spy vibe would be just right for that song. Actually, I wouldn’t mind hearing an entire album of instrumental versions of Alizée’s songs (sort of like what Chet Atkins did for the Beatles years ago).
My second suggestion would be Debbie Harry singing Moi … Lolita. Debbie has already demonstrated that she can sing in French, and, while she may be well past the age of being a “Lolita,” I would still like to hear her take on this song.
Granted, I would rather listen to Alizée herself singing these songs, but I would be curious to hear how other artists might interpret them, too.
So, what are some artist/song match-ups that you would like to see?
