Dear James,
Here's a nice French lady that Josefina found, Emilie Simon, singing her song Le Vieil Amant. That's French for "The Almond Veil". She sings it while a man carries out cack-handed maintenance on her grand piano, but he doesn't put her off at all. A consummate professional. Although a more professional approach would have been to fix the piano before going on the telly.
She also does a nice cover of La Vie en Rose by Edith Piaf, which is French for sparrow, and also did the soundtrack for that film about the penguins which wasn't Happy Feet. I saw the start of Happy Feet on a plane last year. It was fucking rubbish. What is this business with doing musicals with songs that weren't written for the musical? It's all Moulin Rouge's fault. That's French for Roger's Mutton. Emilie also does a cover of The Stooges' I Wanna Be Your Dog, but it's rubbish, so here's Sid instead.
