Nous devons adorer les Français. Maintenant!



We should bow down and worship the French.

Any nation or cultural group that could create the above--"Naufrage en hiver" ("Shipwrecked in Winter"?) by early '80s French pop duo, Mikado--deserves the highest honors our universe can bestow. Something more than a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, a few phrases adapted into/stolen by English, and repeated thumbs-ups to Nicolas Sarkozy for having a hot wife.

More, definitely more.

In my mind, you could not ask for a more perfect blending of electro-pop, vocals that touch upon both ennui and seduction, and Pierre et Gilles style. And if you do want more, well shame on you.

There's no problem in America that can't be solved by putting this song and video on heavy rotation throughout the land. (At least problems of an aesthetic nature.) I see a million billion rednecks' heads exploding every time this tune is played on CMT.

Get 'er done. Now!
