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. ;)
