Speak Le French?

[discolady75]

Listen to my last 50mn mix "Le French Disco" : Discoqueer Dieu Merci c'est Vendredi ! Le French Disco Mix

100% French singing 77-79 songs as cheesy as wonderful
vive la France vive la République !

[discolady75]

Disco with French
- Hurricane Fifi "do you want me mon cheri" or "mademoiselle s'il vous plait"
- Kellee Patterson sings "donnez moi l'amour' ! in one of her songs
- Dexter Wansell's female singer talks about Maxim's in "my favourite disco"
- Grace Jones "Strange ( i ve seen that face before) "La porte a claqué ! Joel est parti..."
- Constellation Orc "mon chéri mon trésor" moment is famous and beautiful.
- Quebecian Chatelaine "corps à corps" perfectly mixes french as english
- Any Karen Cheryl ( i love american men.. )

about the French critics...
well, i can agree with koolcris.

it s true that French mentality keep stuck to its colonialist view. if you are a foreigner, make the effort. Kindless and politeness are not the standard, even in an hypocrit way. they dont say what they think too. but Arrogance is everywhere as "elitism". Some likes to create hidden codes to include some and exclude others.

But... you cant miss.. the French food, wines, art, architecture, cultures mix..., and disco !!
Paris is so romantic, shame on me i dont do so much ballads with my partner. Riding your bicycle on Le Marais, Place des Vosges, along the river Seine... well it s a privilege i sometime forget.

Stupid people are everywhere.. the best is to be someone nice, and you ll attract only nice ones, and i do think it works.

Oops - just added a post linking to the Nite School 12 inch single I added to the vinyl vault some time ago, not noticing that this thread had two pages!

Others that would qualify :

CHIC's "Est-ce que c'est Chic"
POUSSEZ uttering the phrase "Where'd you learn to funk like that ? C'est bon" on "Come on and do it"
PATSY GALLANT going bilingual on the 1978 disco stomper "Oh Michel" [also available in french as "Michel"].

DONNA SUMMER singing "Dieu vous appelle" on her 1983 album track "People People".

Ever since God Created A Woman in 1956 in the form of Brigitte Bardot, pouting nymphettes have been an integral and marketable part of French culture. We must get every disco record featuring a young lady who looks like 16 but acts like 22 (or how was it that Serge so well put it in his classic, definitive ode to barely legal French naughtiness, "Sea Sex And Sun") and hear her protest, purr and lick her sweet little fingers. In French of course, "non" means "yes". One of the best of the lot actually comes from Italy - check out showgirl Rosa Fumetto. She was huge on their tv, disrobed with abandon at the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris, starred in low rent holiday comedies like "Italian Boys" as well as in arthouse faves like "Moon in the Gutter" by Beinex, and recorded a brilliant disco 12" called Crazy Chat. This is the real thing, and the fact that Rosa is Italian only adds to the faux-everything feel elementary to the best eurodisco. She sounds like she entered the recording booth crawling on her knees and approached the mike like a she-cat in heat, clawing the carpeting, hissing, throwing her hair around and ready to pounce on anything in trousers. Maybe she did forget to shave her armpits? Never mind, Rosa is really hot and so is the vinyl.

My favorite song in English and French is ''Sunday Girl'' by Blondie .
It isn't disco .
It's new wave .

and Blondie did some rapping in French in "Rapture"
