Many MANY thanx for this.

[IbizaBri]

Unfortunately, I have not worked at this venue before, as I stated, this is a new job, so I am going in with just the fact that the first event is a dinner and karaoke night, so it may cover ages from 20 up. So I figured I may want to bolster my French track listings. That was the reason I just threw the line in requesting French Language tracks. Any and all I can round up, whether they be new, old, rock, country etc. could never hurt.

Here are more French Karaoke tracks

Hi there,

 

There are many English versions of the actual 'Doggie in the Window' song, there is even a version about a dog lacerated with a pane of falling glass called,"How much is that window in the doggie", based on a cartoon written by the quadriplegic cartoonist John Callahan. A pane of glass falls from a building and slices into a man's seeing-eye dog. A child observer asks the inverted question!!.

 

The point of the version that BJ mentioned, and that I posted, it the fact that all the lines are actually backwards, instead of:

 

"How much is that doggie in the window,

The one with the waggly tail";

 

you have;

 

"Window the in doggie that is much how,

Tail waggly the with one the", etc.

 

Or in French:

 

"Vitrine la dans chien ce pour combien

Blanc et Jaune chien p'tit joli ce"!!

Don't get me started on that mentality, I had one of my middle-aged singers almost attacked and certainly verbally assaulted for having the the temerity to sing 'Needles And Pins' by the Searchers!!

 

He was accused of being a "white, middle-aged, sexist misogynist", by some 19-24ish female, (I won't use the term lady, she certainly was not one with what came out of her mouth!). Luckily the singer was supported not only by myself but also by the venue owner who 'politely' informed her her custom was no longer welcomed in the venue. (In fact i think she told her to go outside with all the other snowflakes before she had a meltdown.... It wasn't even winter!)

You should have let her know that the song was originally for a woman, and was

first sung by Jackie DeShannon in 1963

 

History time A: Jackie DeShannon was Eddie Cochran's girlfriend before he was killed.

 

History time B: The song was co-written by Sony Bono of Sonny and Cher

[DaveyDee]

No, you misread. In French it's :

 

"Combien pour ce chien dans la vitrine

Ce joli p'ttit chien jaune et blanc"

Not if you say it backwards, which is the point of the file I posted and the explanation I gave in my previous post.

 

Is that such a difficult concept to grasp? It was a party piece of Tim Rice's, being able to sing the whole song backwards.

Yes, she was told the origins of the song, and actually admitted she knew it was an old song, but that it should no longer be sung as it was sexist! A bit like those who claim "Baby It's Cold Outside" is about rape and date rape drugs because of the line 'Say what's in this drink'!!!

 

History Time C: Jackie DeShannon insisted she should have recieved a writing credit too, as she claimed she was present during the writing, but both Sonny and Jack dispute her version of the song's origin.

Song origins aside, I much prefer the Smokie cover, haha.

TBH I prefer the Quo version, it has a bit of edge to it!

I know this is not a Karaoke request, but I am looking for some cd's in FLAC format, or lossless, for my Dances, and also to do some vocal removal

to make into Karaoke. The name of the guy is Bouke, and it is impossible for me to find anything of high enough quality here in Canada.

 

Thanks

I find it amazing that in the 21st Century people are lauded for something that in the 20th Century would have ended up with them only recording on budget labels like Pickwick or Hallmark!!
