Musique pour Mercredi

Not sung in French.  But...

the band's name is French (do we need to brush up on our language skills by visiting last week's Family Guy French lesson?)

and

the footage is from a French movie and they are speaking French in the beginning before the singing starts.

I soooooo want to copy this video dance sequence!  Or get my kids to do it.



And I'll tell ya... the way she is dancing by herself there at the end... reminds me of an embarrassing dance floor moment of my own ;-)


Do you like New Wave music?  Did you know that is what "nouvelle vague" means?
– I like New Wave music.  I featured Mink DeVille the other week. Elvis Costello... like. Joe Jackson... like.  Talking Heads... like. Speaking of 'LIKE' ... did you know you can use the Facebook badge on the sidebar to go and 'LIKE' my new Facebook page?  Do it!


Do you have any embarrassing dance floor moments?  (I borrowed this question from my friends at Lady Brain)
– oh, noooo...  not so sure I can tell this one on here.  You might not be my friends anymore. Really embarrassing!  And I don't think I want my kids reading this one ;-)

A little French lesson...

As today is Mardi Gras and tomorrow is mercredi...

which means french-ish musique here at Taking It On... 

I have been thinking in French... 

well, not really... 

but thinking about French and realizing that probably only Caroline, SUAR and Noémie have a clue as to what most of these songs are saying... 

well, except that one by Pink Martini which had all those educational tools to help you out.

So here is a little french lesson for ya.

Note that it is family guy and if family guy humor offends you, you might want to just skip this ;-)  Remember... french is classy!




And if you missed my kids' back-to-back birthdays, you can check out their supercutenesses here for my magic baby, Miss C, and here to see Mr. Awesome, Q-Man.  And later today I'll try to get up the story of Miss C ice skating on her birthday... complete with pictures and video!  

Do you speak French?  Another language with any sort of proficiency?
– I took French a lot in the past.  I can get by but am not fluent by any stretch of the imagination.  I also dabble in Italian, Spanish and German but cannot really hold a conversation in any of those three.

What language do you wish you could speak fluently?
– too many to pick just one!  Like Big G says almost every day  "I wish I could speak, read and write every language in the universe!"
