Default You know you're an Alizée fan when...

Okay , this started life ( as all the best ideas do ) in a semi-drunken conversation last night and I thought we could all use a bit of a giggle anyway.So I want your answer to the title question , the more obscure and random the answer all the better and let's see how quickly we can get to 100.

So , you know you're an Alizée fan when...

1) you can find the accented é on your computer keyboard.
2) you get over-excited by the numbers 50 and 60.
3) you get annoyed when you see "Moi... Lolita" written without the three full stop trail.
4) you can turn absolutely any conversation onto Alizée.
e.g. " I find my studies of the ancient Japanese Shinto religion to be very eye-opening"
"You know Alizée did a Japanese advert once"
5) you start supporting the French team playing against your own country.(French fans excepted)

So over to you guys and girls.

I got rather excited once when I saw a car with the company logo "ACC".

...your heart leaps whenever you think you hear the intro to J'en ai Marre! on the radio, then breaks a little when you realize it's actually Viva la Vida.

I honestly do not know how you could possibly confuse the two intros

If you're actively listening and paying attention, then yes, I agree it's easy to tell them apart...but if you're just hearing the first few chords in the background while you're focusing on something else, I'd argue it's not hard to confuse them, at least for the first few seconds.

Awesome response everyone !

Some real gems in there in and we're over 50 in less than 2 days !!

Here's a few more ..

58) when you unintentionally put a French accent on words in your native tongue
59) if you do find an Alizée cd in a shop you have to put it to the front of rack thus wrecking the store's A-Z system
60) you imagine every staircase you walk down is really a big shoe
61) you think of buying the new DTV Tinkerbell movie as a potential conversation piece

Totally agree.When it's just background music it's easily done.At the time "Viva la vida" was a single in the UK it was played on the radio constantly.I lost count of the number of times my heart leapt foolishly in bars , restaurants , shops and even once in a taxi !!

Both of those for sure.

I also tend to not be able to get over even the slightest resemblances between some people and Alizée.

Word Ruroshen!

Few weeks ago when I was eating breakfast I thought I heard J'en ai Marre on the radio for an instant, but after 2sec I realized that it was just Viva la Vida.. A few seconds after that point, to my suprise, I can clearly hear that it actually IS J'en ai Marre!, I freaked out with happiness

Was like a rollercoaster. Viva la Alizée !

6) You have a sudden desire to learn French or kick yourself for not paying attention while in French Class.
