Convertin' the Lili heathens (yeehaw!)

[Neiteio]

I mentioned this in a PM to Brad (I have a man-crush on our benevolent overlord), and I thought I'd share.

I've noticed my dad borrowing my car a lot lately and today I found out why: he told me he keeps listening to "that French girl" that's been in my car's CD player for a couple years now. I was wondering why I kept finding the CD in the middle of L'Alizé everytime I started the engine.

So I'm going to burn him a copy of the CD, which includes 18 tracks spanning Gourmandises and MCE (I made it before the new album). The best part is he's hooked on Alizée for her MUSIC -- he has no idea how cute she is. Now if only more people would unwittingly stumble upon her music and realize how great music in another tongue can be...

So, has anyone else here witnessed friends and family surrendering to the magic of Alizée? Do tell! In the meanwhile, I got a CD to copy...

Quite, I performed ACC and some other old Alizée songs with my band for the heck of it in a small night bar/club. Surprisingly people did not mind the song being sung in French, and thought it was pretty cool, when we finished our set several people came to me and asked me about the songs. They had no clue the songs were sung by a French female artist a while ago, and they thought they were my songs. Luckily my bassist friend had a laptop, and I showed the ever-so-lucky questioners Alizée's ACC performance on Star Academy, and I got them totally hooked.

They like her now, wait til they stumble upon J'en ai Marre, that'll steal their souls for sure.

That's awesome, Barrett. But now you're obligated to make a vid of your band performing ACC and upload it to YouTube. DO IT!

(Seriously, I'd like to hear what your band's rendition sounds like).

Man, I totally second this. Do it. DOOO EEEETT!!

[TheBarrett]

It's long, it's riffy, and it has way more instrumental solos, and I don't have a camera. Heh

Perhaps when I get one.

If you do a real bang-up job, Barrett, who knows? Maybe you'll end up on Alizée's MySpace page. Or in her band.

(Or in her bed ohIwenttoofar).

I'll be happy with band.
Even though in my wildest fantasies I dream of being her love interest, I respect Mr. Châtelain, and he can have her.

Heh. A bridge too far, indeed.

Bridge? Music? Huh? See what I did there? Huh? Wocka wocka?

A Fozzie Bear reference? You, sir, just won the Internets.

Nice Internets, I used to have Internets like that, til my mom got a job...
