Sometimes I listen to the jazz station, especially on Sundays because they play different programs like 'Soundscapes,' and the music is very relaxing and pretty.

One type of work I have noticed is the smooth sexy songs where the people are TALKING in sultry tones in, you guessed it, French.

Okay, I dun speak French, nor do I understand it, unless the word 'snail' is mentioned. I suppose the song composers think it sounds very alluring and provocative to have a couple talking in French whilst the beat of the music simulates the rising tide of...well, sexuality.

I'm sure we are supposed to think the man is saying:

'You, you sexy desirable little sex kitten [in this case, chaton]. Come here and let me make passionate love to you all night.'

And of course, she will respond in French:

'Mmmm, my handsome adorable stud muffin [in this case, croissant]. Take me awaaaaay!!'

But for all I know, he could be saying:

'Jane, you ignorant slut! Why aren't the dishes done? I am hungry, and I want my dinner.'

Whereupon she retorts with a gleam in her eye:

'Do the damn dishes yourself, Alphonse, and eat at McDonald's for all I care. I have been watching the rotten brats all day, and I dun give a flying feck about your dinner!'


--Just a thought. ;)

That would be horribly amusing. Though I think we'd know if they said "McDonald's", even if it was in French ;)

Actually, I'm not sure which is worse, the Stud Muffin conversation or the Arguing About Dishes conversation...

Your comments are all collapsing. I thought you deleted them for a minute. That's never happened before. :-p

Are you referring to the fact that I'm being short and to the point lately (due to not feeling well and not having much else to say), or are my comments really randomly disappearing? Because I assure you, if it's the former, it's only temporary.

Oh NOOOOO! I meant I knew you had made a couple comments about the french thing earlier, but when I came over to see the hit the nail one, the others were nowhere to be seen, then the page flipped and I saw a link that said see comments, and there they were.. Nooo, you are my main mucker here!!!!! You always make nice comments. I appreciate them. I am sorry you dun feel well. Perhaps if you blow something up or set fire to someone, it might help. :D

Okay! *giggles* I thought that's what you meant, but I just wasn't sure. Thank you for the kind words... I wanted to say something besides "flattered" for once. Ah ha. Cuz... yeah. Thank you!

I think I have a sinus infection. But I like your ideas of blowing something up or setting fire to someone. I saw people getting eaten in the movie I went to last night, that made me feel better...

Could, but I have no money, and no insurance.

You know, some of the bands I listen to release one of their songs in French, Stratovarius with Papillion, Theatre of Tragedy with Image. Thing is, I know exactly what they're singing (because they also release it in English) and my sister in-law speaks French. Apparently the French version of Image is a bit racier than it's English counterpart.

Not that I'm surprised.
