April March = Elinor Lanman Blake, born 4/20/65 in NYC. Singer, chief animator for Ren & Stimpy Show. Known for English virgin of French ye-ye song, "Laisse Tomber les Filles", renamed "Chick Habit" & played in 1999's But I'm a Cheerleader & Tarantino's 2007 Death Proof. "Laisse tomber les filles" = "Drop it with the girls/Stop messing around with the girls". Written by Serge Gainsbourg, originally sung by ye-ye singer France Gall and hit #4 on Billboard France in 1964. I LOVE THIS SONG.
Wow. So I believe back when this was filmed she was 48 years old. Which is crazy to think because she looks pretty young and beautiful! Uncle Dane brought me here but now I'm interested to find more of her music!
@HeLovesCulture Tarantino definitely has the eclectic taste going on, doesn't he? I was a hardcore greaser for a long time and never went for big band stuff because there was so much better post-war type stuff out there. For modern-retro stuff, Hi Fi and the Roadburners were always my favorite, but I never really go into psychobilly much (but loved he Misfits and The Cramps).
@HeLovesCulture The description says "New Morning, Paris," nothing more. And when performing the same songs over and over again must really get old, so I can't imagine how bands like The Who do it. This may have been the end of a long set at the end of a long tour, and if so, it shows.
I think that Serge, himself had the habit, he knew a thing or two about the subject. Whether he disapproved or not, at least he did the smart thing, put it down on paper and sell it. Very savvy Jewish business. Nice girlfriend, too, Jane Birkin, now, also, dead, too.
@HeLovesCulture This isn't bad, but it's the only song I've heard from her, and only that because it's connected to Grindhouse. Not my cup of tea, but I can appreciate it for what it is. If you dig retro babes, look for a little rockabilly filly named Josie Kreuzer.
Then you have not listened to enough of her music. This song is how I found out about her: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a-9RZ7tmy-0.html
This is incorrect. April March was born in '65, which would have made it sound completely different with a 4-5 year old singing. The song IS originally French, and DID come from the 60's, but it was written by Serge Gainsbourg, and was performed by France Gall originally in '64. To be fair though, April March DID do the translation/original performance of the english version, but not until much later in the 2000's.
@@christurpin5909 right amd wrong. This was inspired by the French song but the lyrics are completely different. This is her original song over the oringal music. The original songs lyrics were "stop messing with all those girls". . This song chick habibt was recorded in the mid 90s and it was featured in a movie in 1999.
