wanted to post something french in honor of our performance of ‘the scarlet pimpernel’ this weekend. i decided on this one b/c it represents a huge hole in my music knowledge where international music history should be. i’ll be honest: before i dj’ed my little brother’s wedding, i had never heard of claude françois. but my brother’s wife (who is french) requested it, and as soon as i put it on, the place went nuts. and not just the french people. apparently i’m the only person in the world who didn’t know this song. typical.
