Tight rope walkers


This post was triggered when I listened to Marianne Farouch's Le Funambule. It's a duet (with Alexis HK) from her recent debut Le Nombril du Monde, an elegant song about tight rope walking (as a metaphor, ofcourse). Then I remembered that Marie Cherrier has a song on her new album called La Funambule - I just learned that Funambule is masculin, but if the tightrope walker's a girl, you use La. Enfin.
There are a lot of songs about Funambule's, and I picked out a few, male and female. But all very, very elegant.
By the way: Marianne Farouch's album is recommended if you like lazy jazzy songs, with oriental and Brazilian twists. But she can swing too!
And look at the very sexy Marie Cherrier in the video for her new single Pas Mas Faute on her site.
