I was in PARIS over the weekend! I visited Oscar Wilde’s grave, ate possibly the best meal I’ve ever eaten (chicken with white wine mushroom risotto, gorgeous!) and went gay clubbing! So instead of writing about Ariana Grande (again), I’ve decided to do my fave French tunes.
All of them are perfect for falling over in Dior, or having dramatic rows with Russian oligarchs in ornate hotel rooms. Just saying.
Inna Modja – French Cancan (Monsieur Sainte Nitouche)
Love Inna Modja! She’s the darling of stylish French summery pop. All she has to do is put on a sarong and saunter down the banks of the Seine, and hundreds of gays fall at her feet. I investigated her back catalogue and she’s got some lovely little ditties, but my favourite is “French Cancan (Monsieur Sainte Nitouche)”. I’m a sucker for a song with a bracketed byline, so that’s always a good omen. Like Britney Spears’ oeuvre of sonorous perfection, “Get Naked (I Got A Plan)”. Or Lindsay Lohan’s upcoming single “Vomit And Viagra (Where’s My Oystercard?)”. That’s not Linday Lohan’s upcoming single, I made it up. She doesn’t have an upcoming single. ANYWAY listen to Inna Modja, she’s gorgey!
Mylene Farmer – A Lombre (Offer Nissim Remix)
Now THIS was blasting out of all the Parisian gay clubs over the weekend. It’s proper torso-pumping, vodka-and-coke-swilling, dancefloor-fingering gay techno debauched ridiculousness! Love it!
M. Pokora – A Nos Actes Manques
PHWOOOAR! M Pokora is *Cheryl Cole voice* REET UP MAH STREET! He’s lovely too, all his songs are about saving the world and things. Well Monsieur Pokora, you can save MY world. Actually I’d rather you didn’t save it, I’d rather you PILLAGED it. What am I on about? Soz, back to making sense. I heard this coming from a gaggle of gays’ Boombox in the sun on the grass by the Eiffel Tower. They were throwing their heads back and laughing and drinking champagne. Daahhhhhling *lights cigarette*
