Edna, dans toute langue, votre musique est chique et charmant. Me revenir à un Français cabaret ou un film de 1960, il est toutes les grandes. De plus, vous amour les Rolling Stones autant que je n'ai.

This ten is proof that you don't necessarily have to understand what is being said to feel the emotion behind it. Ma petite chou, I had no room for your beloved Stones on my final list. Please take this hot Keef picture as a token of my sincere condolences. Love you!

Et voila! (That's all I've got that makes any sense. I can't seem to fit "le crayon est sur le table" or "ferme la bouche" or "ou est la bibliotheque?" into this in anyway, and that seems to be the extent of the French I remember.) :D

Edna! Mi internet es muy lento ahora y mi vida loca y por esa razon voy a tardar en votar. Pero he empezado en escuchar y ya hay muchas canciones que me gustan. Con castellano, inglés, frances y portugues has hecho songfacts un lugar muy multilingüe esta semana! :D

Espero que tengas un fin de semana muy buena! Cuando he escuchado todos votaré...tal vez en la semana que viene.
