They Invented Sex During The Day, Lingerie, And The Tongue

It's that time again, fearless readers!
Another episode of Hey, Ladies In Music, I Just Want You To Know I Think You're Really Pretty And I Was Wondering If You Wanted To, You Know, Make Out - Just A Little, I Don't Mean Anything Big (Unless You're Cool With That, Cause I'd Totally Bone You Out The Door) - Francophone Edition!
Or HLIMIJWYTKITYRPAIWWIYWTYKMO - JALIDMAB(UYCWTCITBYOTD) - FE! for short.
First up is....

Actually in this round there is only one contestant. And she wins everything, forever, because she's adorable.
Yelle, aka Julie Budet, is an electro house dance chanteuse.
Oh gosh she's just so french. Shut up and watch the video.

The best part is, if you translate the lyrics, you'll find it's a horribly mean and insulting song. The original version of this was what made her famous, she put it up on her Myspace as a diss to some other musician. It's basically "You have a small dick and you're stupid, and I'm awesome and I wear the shortest skirts in the world and drive around in my fluorescent Hummer."
Only it's cheery and charming because its in french!
(Ex: "On navait pas prevu de passer la soiree avec des rigolos
On voulait voir des pectoraux, des mecs montes comme des taureaux"

translates roughly to "We don't plan on spending the night here with clowns. We want to see pecs, men hung like bulls!")


Uh, runners up include Frances equivalent to Britney Spears, "Lorie" - but mainly because I'm in a French electrohouse mood and I liked this remix.

Also, I can't find any songs where they sing in french, but they're Quebecois, so they totally count. Led by Sarah Dugas, The Duhk's are a french bluegrass/roots/folk band and I like all their music a lot and have linked some of it before. Like, actually good music. I'm very impressed by them. Also they're ALL hot, so I'm gonna add them all to the list.
But really,who ISN'T gonna look hot surrounded by sweaty hedonistic desert circus troupes? (I like her voice.)
In other news, if I hear one more fucking song with Autotune come out from an artist that has never used it before, I swear to god I will listen to nothing but foreign music for two weeks.

(I am increasingly interested in remixes and mashups - unsure whether it stems from an initial dissatisfaction with the direction popular music is heading, or my inherent desire to play devils advocate. Expect an imminent long-winded future post)
That being said, I will say I like headphones with little golden wings on them.

ENDING NOTE: I am not sure where I stand regarding Katy Perry at this moment in time. Research indicates both her parents were Methodist preachers. Hot.
Also whaaaaattractive!
