Voyou et Vanessa Paradis 🎶 Le Bal

[my-chaos-radio]

Release: September 21, 1992

Lyrics:

The sun is out

The clouds are slowly going

And now my heart is growing fast

So let's get up

Put on you hat and clothing

Let's take a trip and lose our minds

Let's go walking through the park today

I love Sunday Mondays any day

When the skies are blue and it's not grey

I'll take Sunday Mondays any every day

Sometimes it's fun

To just escape and run

And leave the troubled world behind

So let's get lost

And get our juices flowing

And let's go se what we can find

Let's go walking through the park today

I love Sunday Mondays any day

When the skies are blue and it's not grey

I'll take Sunday Mondays any every day

Songwriter:

Let's go walking through the park today

I love Sunday Mondays any day

When the skies are blue and it's not grey

I'll take Sunday Mondays any every day

Album of the Week #55

M&J

(1987)

by Vanessa Paradis

Overall Rating: 6/10 TL;DR: Very sexy (derogatory).

(This is a child. This album cover makes me uncomfortable. 0/10)

Sorry everyone, its finals season :(.

Overall Thoughts I feel like me not knowing who Vanessa Paradis is is one of the things that put my young American ass in place. I knew “Joe le Taxi,” and that she was young, but I didn’t know who she was. Muse of Lenny Kravitz, partner of Johnny Depp, and mother of Lily Rose Depp, and can be defined by much more than her relationships with different men. She was a young child star and model, something that is very very important to keep in mind when listening to this album. This whole album exudes sex appeal in that mysterious French way that can hook anyone. Sexy 80s sax solos fill every song with messages about love (with various levels of sensuality) and relaxing instrumentals meant to seduce. This is a pretty good album vibes-wise and is pretty good to put on the background when you just want to relax. But remember how I said she was a child star? They made her sing these songs when she was just FOURTEEN. Each of these songs was written by industry professionals, every short black dress she performed in was picked out for a reason, and the strange sexy dance she does in each performance is on purpose. Going through the comments of each video is so disgusting, seeing what the world has to say about a fourteen-year-old girl almost 40 years later. I didn’t really know about this until halfway through listening to the album and that changed how I felt about each song. It just left me feeling so sorry for this girl who was treated this way. If I’m to talk about the songs themselves there aren’t many that are memorable. “Joe le Taxi” is the standout star with an incredible bari sax part, a great showcase for her voice, and it is all around a chill song. I also really liked “Mosquito,” which is much more upbeat and catchy and felt like something a 14-year-old would actually enjoy singing. This one is 80s in a good way. I loved “Scarabée” but my god there is no reason for it to be six and a half minutes. It's ethereal and unique with backing vocals to die for. My choice for the silliest song of the album has to go to “Chat Ananas” which even wins silliest title. I looked at it and thought “Look I know my French has deteriorated but I know that says ‘Cat Pineapple’”. And yes it does, because the idea of the song is that those are two things you see on a tropical vacation. It's an attempt at something Latin America inspired complete with a cumbia beat and a boom whacker sounding instrument. Nomination for second silliest is the English version of the title track, with the first line “Marilyn [Monroe] was Russian” because she just wasn’t. (I think she’s actually saying “wishin’” but all the lyrics I can find say “Russian” which is hilarious).

Final Thoughts Ignoring the context around this album, it's pretty good. I don’t think I’d ever listen to the whole thing again, I’m fine with chilling with my favorites since all the other songs on the album just sound like 80s chill background music, but I would not say this album is bad. “Joe le Taxi” still rules my heart, but I’m glad I got to hear about Marilyn Monroe’s tough life as a Russian immigrant.

When Serge Gainsbourg succeeded, he did so thanks to the people he gelled with quite well. Thus, Vanessa Paradis should have been a great fit for him, but there are two factors we must mention – Gainsbourg was not at his best then – the reasons are too numerous to mention – and Vanessa's album he worked on seemed to be planned as her transformation into a French Madonna during the time the latter was not willing to cede her spotlight. However, the biggest problem might be that Gainsbourg only collaborated as a lyricist, which is fine, yet his production skills were not put to use in here. Of course, Vanessa Paradis is neither Birkin nor Bardot, she's her own thing, but I still believe Mr. Gainsbourg could've made a greater LP with her than the one they did.
