[Survivor] Songs in French | ROUND 6

[Carbon]

SONGS IN FRENCH
s u r v i v o r

The theme is pretty straightforward, basically songs by any artist or from any country as long as they are sung in French. I think the Fr-speaking countries have been producing a lot of brilliant and underrated stuff, so here is hoping we all discover lots of cool songs.

The song can be sung in multiple languages as long as French is prominent (at least cca half of the song) and not just a few lines.

- one person can nominate max. 1 song from the same artist -
- max. 3 songs per artist allowed in total in the game -
- max. 15 nominations per person (assuming few people will be interested) -

I'll start with some of my faves:

Safia Nolin - La laideur
Pomme - Je sais pas dancer
L'Impératrice - Agitations Tropicales
Polo & Pan - Canopée
Maître Gims feat. Sia - Je te pardonne
Françoise Hardy - Le Temps de l'Amour
Angèle - Balance ton quoi
Dita Von Teese, Sébastien Tellier - La vie est un jeu
Aya Nakamura - Copines
In-Grid - Tu est foutu
Christine and the Queens - Doesn't Matter (Voleur de soleil)
Miel de montagne - L'Amour
Paradis - Toi et moi
La Femme - Le vide est ton nouveau prénom
Clio - T'as vu


I went more with the lesser known stuff so we need some classics from Carla Bruni, Indila, Zaz, or even the older chansons.

Tagging some people who might be interested...
heppolo Leo navi Tansike RayRay cheapthrills Wayne (there needs to be some Celine in here, too)


Not sure whole else to tag that's into non-English stuff, feel free to tag others who may be into this.

Nominate away!

I am planning on picking a song from France Gall!

I was really close to do it as well, but opted out thinking there's a chance somebody else might do it.

[LastDreamer]

France Gall - Les Sucettes
Christine and Stephanie - Mets Un Peu De Musique
Giedre - Toutes Des Putes
Girls Aloud - Je Ne Parle Pas Francais

[navi]

Mixture of old and new (OK not so new), pop and rock, some corny chansons, a few Eurovision entries and a probably most scandalous song ever to hit #1 in UK
some of them not listening for ages

Gilbert Bécaud - Nathalie
Serge Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin - Je t'aime... moi non plus
Alain Barrière et Noëlle Cordier - Tu t'en vas
Joe Dassin - L'été indien

Air - Sexy Boy
Indochine - J'ai demandé à la lune
Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains - Piscine

[Affillate]

Well Kylie's 'Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi' is mostly in English (unless theres a full French version somewhere), but what about

Britney Spears - Coupure électrique

oh also

In-Grid - Tu es foutu. (you may know the english version 'You Promised Me')

[Tansike]

Some suggestions from me:

Alma - Requiem

Indila - Parle à ta tête
Louane - Donne-moi ton coeur
Malena Ernman - La voix

Zoé - Loin d'ici

Also, not sure if this counts as it's probably more in German than in French:

Adel Tawil ft. PEACHY - Tu m'appelles

[heppolo]

Plastic Bertrand - Ça Plane Pour Moi

If anything, I was 100% certain navi would pick this classic, so I didn't include it myself.

[heppolo]

I hope some classic French singers like Dalida, Mirelle Matthieu, Edith Piaf, Johnny Hallyday, Jacques Dutronc will be picked by someone as well.
