In addition to the April March-posting below, here's a couple of versions of the France Gall-song 'Laisse Tomber Les Filles'(written by Gainsbourg). April covered it both in French and in English (Chick Habit). April March-soundalike Fabienne Delsol (pictured on the left) did a true-to-the-original-version on her debut No Time for Sorrow. The rest of the songs on the solo-cd by the singer of The Bristols are in English, but they all have a ye-ye-atmosphere. Belgian art-rockers Honeymoon Killers raised the song's tempo to pogo-level. And finally, there's the original by France.I know there's a version by God is My Co-Pilot, if you have that one, or others - please gmail them to me.
Fabienne Delsol - Laisse Tomber Les Filles
Honeymoon Killers - Laisse Tomber Les Filles
France Gall - Laisse Tomber Les Filles
Update: Thanks to Rotschild Royale, here's the very feminin sounding Swiss chansonnier Michael von der Heide 's version - keep listening until the outro!
This is one of my all-time France all faves, but I had no idea there were any other versions out there at all. Thank you for posting these.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLoved the April March, France Gall and Fabienne Delsol songs but I wasn't too keen on the others(perhaps i'm too much of a traditionalist)
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNice posting
YEYEOHYEAH
I like the Von der Heide in an odd way. Sound like Lotte Lenya singing :) Merci Guuz !
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLoved this post. Never knew so many versions of this song existed!
