a tiny piece of my musical past, 20 years later.

i can't believe someone has a video of this and put it on youtube. "thai nana" by kazero is a little piece of 1987 french pop that a couple of girls in my class brought back from an exchange semester in france. i became obsessed with it even though i didn't know a word of french (still don't) -- i copied the song off one girl's tape and played it to death for years, i probably still have the cassette somewhere. over the years i've tried finding the CD, tried finding the song on itunes, nothing. now lo and behold, it's on youtube for me to enjoy.

the bummer is, i never knew what the guy looked like until now.... now i see that instead of this new-wave-ish french rockstar i imagined him to be, he's really kind of a dork with no rhythm. heh. but the song's still adorable.

That's a pretty damn cool song, even if I barely understood a word of it! Loved the video.

yeah, all i could pick out was "monsieur". hee. but it's totally infectious, i just want to bounce around when i hear it.

That bass player is giving it 1000% -- cracking me up!

i know, i think the bass player was there so the performance wasn't a TOTAL snoozer.
