Hi Dav and everybody,
I thought I'd show you all this translation video I just made for a song by Zazie from 2007. Already, the video is getting me into some fights. You may recognize Dr. Manhattan in it, and I hope you know Alfred E. Newman, mascot of Mad Magazine.
Well, I had a lot of fun making it and I think it's a great song:

nice job Thelma, it's really hard to me to translate songs, most of the time i know what it means but can't translate it.
The video is also great.

I think this is an enjoyable way to learn language-- both French and English. What a shame that it gets blocked by the INA which destroyed two of my YT accounts. They are supposed to be guardians of La Chanson Française but by interfering with internet translation, they are making sure the world will never understand or appreciate it.

it's a good way to learn a language, that's so true.
The main reason i listened to the teacher when having english class was that i'd allow me to understand lyrics for The Cure songs.
I guess INA cares about money, you got to pay for most of the things on their website, i agree with you it's a real shame.
