It seems that lot of us saw La Isla Bonita first, and so did I. I remember someone posting links to her pictures and stuff on irc, but I never paid attention that much. I did know that she's "some French singer" but that was it really. Then when I, lets say, was enlightened, I noticed that ML and L'Alizé were familiar somehow. Especially the bubbles in l'alizé MV
I think they'd been stored in my subconsciousness since 2000
Cos I surely didn't listen to French pop music back then, or any pop for that matter.
