dani week - tuesday
DANI - LA VIE A 25 ANSwhat i love most about this song is how it reminds me of the wonderful theme to 'dogtanian and three muskehounds!'
also this was supposed to be frances entry into 74 eurovision song contest but they withdrew at the last minute as pomidou died.

1000th post!
ISABELLE ADJANI - ET MOI CHOUCHOUfor my 1000th post i'm posting my favourite song of the moment. guaranteed to make me smile with the ace 'chouchou' rhymes (although i can't seem to find the lyrics on line anywhere). taken from her marvy 1983 album , all written by serge gainsbourg.
