The Songfactor's Choice Top Ten #56


Recommended Posts

OH ! :blush:

I knew it was about a French 'lady of the night', but I really didn't know the meaning of the French words. Still it's pretty tame by today's standards. That's not why I nominated it BTW. It's a fun, vibrant song. Patti LaBelle has a wonderful voice.

Et tu Farin ? And what about Marmalade,as Dappled said, you French scholars.

Why does she call herself that ? Is it a French word too ? I have it on my toast each morning, but it's not 'French Toast'. Gitchi Gitchi Ya Ya Ya.

:)

I think that's only because of her 'job'...

you know, they give each other names like "Sugar Honey" "La Belle" ( :grin: ) or "Lady Marmalade"

Nah, doesn't sound right having 'confiture' on my toast, edna. ;)

Now here's a French speaking Irishman. I should have taken French instead of Latin, although it does come in handy for crossword puzzles. Amo, Amas, Amat.

In German there is both: it's "Konfitüre" if there are still some pieces of fruit in it, otherwise it's "Marmelade"

Rufus Wainwright - "Complainte De La Butte" (this is from "Moulin Rouge", and the YouTube clip has nothing to do with it, so just listen. If you want.)

Ben Harper & The Blind Boys Of Alabama - "I Shall Not Walk Alone"
