"I like it when it's a bit false and girlish so If you're in to Celine Dion this is not the right place. I love yéyé, Oscar Wilde, Strindberg, cats, miniskirts and Tutta Rolf." Could well be the slogan for this blog, but it's the motto of Moa from Malmö (Sweden, pictured on the left), and taken from her MySpace-site. Her music sounds a little like St. Etienne and Tiger Baby. She recorded a seldomly covered song by France Gall (written by Serge) called Teenie Weenie Boppie, an anti-lsd song. One of the last songs Serge wrote for France, it did not go very well in the hitparades at the time (1967). The only other versions I know of TWB are by Free Kitten (the alt-rock team up of Pussy Galore and Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon) and faux-French rock band Les Sans-Culottes. But something tells me there are more. Do you have or know about them?
France Gall - Teenie Weenie Boppie
Free Kitten - Teenie Weenie Boppie
Moa - Teenie Weenie Boppie

BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow, Malmo looks just like Brighton seafront! :)
By the way, that chippie is much cheaper than the tourist trap ones on the pier, so good choice Moa!
Err, yes, ofcourse it's Moa who's pictured, not Malmö. But glad she chose a nice chippie ;-)
