That's one I put together a few years back. At the end, even though she had probably hundreds of things thrown at her in these shows, it's still surprising how she took being hit in the arm in stride.

Here's a video with Adele. She's got an incredible voice but I'm not that big a fan of the person. Still, I enjoyed this prank. She is pretending to be someone else in a look and sing like Adele competition.

Here is another version. In this one, Alizée "turns up the heat," so to speak--so much so that she almost missed her opening line, which is very uncharacteristic of her.

Adele's song, "Rolling in the deep" came out in 2011. I first heard it when I was on vacation in France. I had the habit of when I was driving along if I heard a song I hadn't heard before, I would turn on my camera and start recording. My main thoughts at the time was for if I'd hear French songs I didn't know, when I got back to the states, I'd have enough info to look them up. Of course Rolling in the Deep was an English song and there would be no need to look it up.

This was such a great trip. I saw the Chateau de Chambord, the U boat pens at St Nazaire. Then I drove up to Lorient to see the U boat pens there. I drove up to the harbor and couldn't find them. I asked a gentleman on a sailboat if he knew where they were. He said he did and said they were heading that way and asked me if I wanted a ride with them. I said yes. In my mind it was hell yes!. So even though it was raining, I got a great view of those pens. I told two of the men I was an Alizee fan and they got a good laugh out of that. I took a cab back to my car. That was such and awesome thing to have happened.

Then I drove up Caen and the historic WW2 sites around there. Then I drove up the coast to such historic sites as Dieppe, Dunkirk, Arnhem and then I went to Monet's garden.

This was also the trip where I went to the ACC building. No need to say how great it was to be able to go there, then get inside.

This is just a video of when I recorded Rolling in the Deep.

Scruffydog, you have such great travel stories! It seems like you so often make incredible unexpected things happen. From what little I’ve read about your experiences, I dare say you have many more and could write quite a fascinating book! Or, perhaps, put together a very cool video/movie. Thanks for sharing these adventures with us.

I don't think it'd be fascinating, maybe enjoyable and possibly enjoyable mainly by me but I do have to start looking through my trips before those memories start to fade.

This was one area of my life that was so influenced by Alizee. I used to make all my trips in the winter to some warm islands. Finding out about Alizee made me want to go see her and in the process, I overcame the fears I think a lot of people have about travelling to foreign countries and now I take most of my vacations in Europe.

I mostly take 1 week vacations. I tried two weeks a couple of times and I get antsy. I need to get home and do a reset, plus I'd rather have my next vacation only 3 months away instead of having to wait 6.

When I first started going to Europe, there was so much I hadn't seen that I was overly anxious to see as much as I could as quick as I could. I might have spent a week in 5 different cities back then, but now I usually just spend 3 days in one place and 4 in another.

Getting back on track. Some of our newer members may not have seen this. This is when Alizée stole Pascal Obispo's hat during Les Enfoires 2008 I think it was.

I got a kick out of this moment here. She got this strange look on her face. I think she was trying to stifle a yawn.

I love this video. In this clip, you can see Alizée running into the store to surprise Jessica and she almost gives this woman a heart attack when she cuts right in front of her!

That looks to be from the same time she seemed a little upset that Gregoire thought of her as only the "Parenaire"!

In her song, J'en ai marre (I'm fed up), at one point Alizée sings "Marre de la pluie des courgettes. Qui m'font vomir sous la couette," which means: "Fed up with the rain, the zucchinis, which make me throw up under my blanket."

Maybe Alizée will be glad to know zucchini season is once again upon us!

This link begins at the point where she makes that comment.

I've seen that picture before and I always wondered what's with the cat? Then is dawned on me that cats and zucchinis are natural born enemies, so if there's going to be a zucchini hunt, of course cats will want to be in on it.

This is my favourite rhyme of the song. I didn't know it was so deep. O.o

Also, I'd gladly join that hunt!

I got a kick out of the line "qui m'indisposent" which I thought sounded like "Keep my distance."

That's funny because I had used that line in my hypothetical interview with Alizée video.
