VIVA LA FRANCE
Journée internationale de la Francophonie
International Francophonie Day: March 20


As yesterday was Mother's Day and as tomorrow is International Francophonie Day here is a thread that kinda combines the two :lol:

so esp for my mum and lovers of all things French (or Armenian :lol: ) what is the best 'reading' of the classic song 'She'. Is it by Charles Aznavour??? Is it by Elvis Costello??? or is it by Terry Hall???

Charles Aznavour's version of 'She' (according to my mum: one of the best records ever!!!!)

Elvis Costello's version of 'She' (according to my mum: awful!!!!)

btw i dont know what Terry Hall's version is like. Could be anything ecclectic from ska to world but i guess it sounds just like the versions of She above :lol:

however here is the new Dub Pistols ft Terry Hall single. Its a version of Rapture. the dub pistols album is supposed to be rubbish so best listen to it here!!!

the Dub Pistols/Terry Hall cover of Rapture... yep, better with every listen. Could've been shocking... but it's rather great, I think....
