h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Hello everyone

I remember the time in the 1970's when there where songs sung both in English and French. I wonder if anyone else remembers these songs.

Thank you

kat

Nope, sorry. Just bookmarking.

kat:

nope... but at the time i was still in france...

but i do remember that some english/american songs were kinda translated in french [or just adapted in french most of the times]...

watch this space tho'... we might not remember them now but we might do at the most unexpected moment...

In regard to the English/French songs... I think... 99 Red Balloons (don't know who by)... JEnnifer, Juniper... don't know who by either...

Don't know anymore... can't be bothered...

hi loup,
toyah was from my part of the country the only thing that irritated me about her,was her lisp,apart from that she was a good artist and pops up now and again

serg disco diva is only 16 and each to there own,it wouldn't do if we all liked the same music

My son bought me 'Reptile' by Eric Clapton,a wonderful mothers day gift,i was going to buy it when it 1st came out in 2001,i wish i had,cos its a brilliant album,according to Eric,he say's 'Reptile' is a term of endearment,used in the same way as "toe rag" or "moosh" it is used sparingly and with the greatest respect,its not an insult,it's a sign of recognition.. my favourite tracks,which i leave on repeat mode are 'son & sylvia','I aint gonna stand for it,(which was written by stevie wonder) Travelin'light and of course the unforgettable instrumental 'Reptile' to my ears


jackie

mmmm.... some songs that were banned by the BBC...:

one of them being "je t'aime moi non plus" of course:

loup

99 Red Balloons was by Nena, I'm sure it was German though.
