In Morocco on Atlantic Radio they played a fabulous French song but I could never catch the name of the performers.
Then they cropped up on the French music TV show I mention in another thread.
Still missed the name. Went into the Virgin Megastore on the Champs Elysee in Paris on my way back to England and sang it to an assistant who immediately recognised it as the biggest French smash of ten years ago; by a group from Portland Oregon called Pink Martini - Sympathique.
Absolute monster hit; I can't believe it wasn't a UK or US smash.
Just like the old days...

Huge enough in the states to play the Hollywood Bowl for three nights and also well known in Australia too. Good song and a nice website as well.

fabulous. Love it

a Virgin Megastore in the Champs Elysee..nothing is sacred.

I don't want to work or eat; I just want to forget everything and smoke a cigarette!

What a magnificent non PC lyric.
