So true, rwd716.

It's simply a lovely song. As Brad said, "it is a lot easier for a 'non french speaker' to understand the words in this version. she seems to enunciate the words very clearly, where
Alizée kind of lets them run together..."

Alizée just puts her lovely Corsican spin on her version, like RMJ said.


Here's an interesting Wiki read on France Gall, another popular French singer.
"In 1988 Gall topped the pop charts in many countries with Ella, elle l'a ("Ella has it"), a Berger tribute to Ella Fitzgerald."
