Again about the brilliant Boris Vian tribute album, because it not only looks great, it contains a bunch of fantastic songs too. Mme Sarkozy sings Valse des Mannequins, a text by Vian that was turned into a song by Alain Goraguer. It's not too friendly about models, and it has this striking line: 'Mannequin, jolie fleur d'un Paris sans coeur, tu as su trouve le bonheur, dans ton quartier tranquille.' It's obvious why Carla sings this text, and does it magnificently.

Tiny correction: «tu as su trouver le bonheur». ;)
