]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> This is good but "Je veux tu voir" is my favorite.
"I can't believe you can think that you are wanted
I can't understand it even in the dark,
even if you keep your PJs tight
Even if you guard your bathrobe which looks like an old T-shirt
Keep your shirt on, it'll limit the dammage, asshole
Your posters of Lil' Jon cover those of Magic Johnson
You're way to skinny to slam dunk"
She wrote this about an actual rapper in France! She is my hero.

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> I'm so confused. She is absolutely identical to a college friend of mine. Jessica O, when did you move to France and become a pop star??

hellodarling!

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> @globalnomad: But I like to watch them move :(

And from the official Tecktonic website (check it out, they teach you how to do it![www.tck01.fr]) it seems like all walks of life do this dance...including some guido-esque characters. Oh well.

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> @Diesel920: oh god no... tecktonik (that dance craze)is like a deadly virus. these people are the French equivalent of guidos. For real. I adore Yelle and Fatal Bazooka though. hilarious.

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> Also, I'm pretty sure this song was written by a 50-year-old dude who feels confident that he know "what the kids are up to" but who is at least 5-7 years behind in the "what the kids are up to" stereotypes.

She's so 80's campy fun. It makes me miss the days of low production value music videos and when MTV was young and innovative.

damn. I'm old.

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> @Uglyshoe: What was the song called that you were trying to post?

Elisheva

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> I'd only seen her on blogs and mixes, so a while ago, my bff and I were trying to figure out how to pronounce "Yelle." We decided it would be awesome if she adopted a Spanish rule and went balls-to-the-wall "Yeyeah!"

Right? Alas, MTV clarified it: "Yelle rhymes with Hell."

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> Don't tell me that MTV stuck Yelle on the soundtrack of the hills...or was she on the show? please no!

Since we're on the subject, what did the bells signify in Belle de Jour?

But my favorite Buñuel film is still Le Charme discret de la bourgeoisie. C'est fffffor mi da ble.

Le sigh.....

ALittleBitGothic

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> Oh man, this is one of those times I really wish I'd paid more attention in French class. The last time I felt like this was after watching L'Auberge espagnole and Les Poupées russes back to back. God, those were chessy-awesome, hilarious and heartwarming at the same time. And they gave me entirely unreasonable expectations for study abroad. Dammit.

ALittleBitGothic

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> Anyone notice the douchebags in both videos were wearing US college jerseys? (UCLA and Georgia)

sane_in_berzerkeley

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> I agree that her dresses are rad fantastic. I have been non-stop obsessed with her for the past week and a half. I also asked one of my student workers who is fluent in french to translate the lyrics to "JE VEUX TE VOIR." He blushed when it came to talking about teh cock.

p.s. "À cause des garçons" is a badass song. Veedeo is pretty great too...

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> Thanks for translating the lyrics- I thought that Yelle was pretty awesome even though I had no clue what she was singing- now I find her amazing - and I was too lazy to ever do the translation myself.

She's from Miami but lives in Paris and is on Ed Banger, which is a French label. Also, she can't rap worth a shit but it's kinda sorta amazing and hilarious, therefore, she is awesome. Lucky bitch.

Fatal Bazooka can do no wrong in my eyes, my favourite work is 'J'aime trop ton boule' (I love your arse too much).

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> Oh, I love me some Yelle. I play her CD at work to make the time go faster and pretty much the whole thing is genius.

jenneisawesome

]]> <![CDATA[Why Is Everything Funnier In French?]]> Slut Machine, you would totally love Yelle's song "Je veux te voir." The chorus translates to:

I wanna see you
In a pornographic flick
In action with your dick
Which looks like potatoes, or like fries
To know everything about your anatomy
Or your little cousin, "Teki"
And your fetish accessories

So, my little cook,
What's your favourite position?
Any Olympic-grade performances?
But you're really not looking orgasmic
You're nude underneath that apron
You're ready to unsheath your sword
But I'm telling you it's not working.

"Oh, don't stop there, it's in french"
