It’s a wonderful song… except it reminds me of Edith from 80s British TV ‘Allo Allo’ and her singing which was nowhere near as beautiful.
Edith from Allo-Allo 😂, that's a bit harsh, but I know what your coming from, she's not my cup of tea either.
Yeah that wouldn't be a compliment at all 🤣🤣. Fair play to the actress to stand there bold as brass and sing deliberately bad for comedy.
My guess is she probably could sing and just did it badly for the take. Lots of comedians have done that in the past. To be really bad (for laughs) you need to be really good to start with.
You're probably right, she could sing but sang badly for the laughs.
The comedian Les Dawson also played the piano badly but could actually play. He said it was harder to play out of tune on purpose than it was to play in tune.
I would never had thought Edith Piaf would have led us to Les Dawson, but so glad she did.
Down the rabbit hole of tenuous links we go 🤣
We're just one link away from Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise sketch with composer and conductor Andre Previn, doing Grieg's Piano Concerto. That's 13 minutes of your day gone there and well worth it.
Absolutely! ‘I’m playing all the right notes…’ brilliant..
🤣
I’ll stop short of sharing a clip of the actor who went on to play Lt Gruber in Dr Who’s ‘Genesis of the Daleks’. Not just a rabbit hole but a very niche British rabbit hole…
That’s who I had in mind with the really good to be that bad comment.
I think you're spot on here. To know what sounds bad and sound bad well you need to know how to sound good. I agree and think she knew exactly what she was doing.
That TV series was a stroke of comical genius. So funny.
A Saturday night classic. Just great farce comedy. Good times
Wait is this song from saving private ryan? I’ve heard this before.
According to the Google Edith Piat is credited twice for that movie with
C'etait une histoire d'amour.
And
Tu es partout
I remember it being used in an ad recently ish maybe it was rugby world cup? Or possibly a beer? I'm not sure. But i also recognised it from somewhere else.
I think it's the same artist... But I don't know if it's the same song. But I vaguely recollect a song being played in SPR that does sound like this.

You worded that excellently. When I was younger I too was deaf to anything that wasn't metal. But now. I am just an appreciator of music.

There's this weird thing whereby people think we have be defined by our music (or anything else you happen to be into) and you have to be faithful that band/sports team/country or whatever... like you can't be caught liking this or that... when we can just enjoy wtf kind of music we feel like. It's like some weird, low grade psyop. I've always found it mad because I have have such broad taste.
Classic human tribalism behaviours isn't it.

Exactly that Roll. I wasn't going to go that deep, so it's probably not a low grade pysop at all but just parts of the bigger psyop of division.
For sure I'm with that, it is human nature but it's also a learned behaviour. And it's perpetuated by politics.
A divided and ignorant mass is much more compliant.

Coming in with a curve ball today. Edith Piaf - je ne regrette rien. For your listening pleasure. Beautiful song, beautiful voice.
Enjoy.
