In addition to this post (and this one), Didier send me two interisting covers of Edith's Padam Padam. There's the vocal acrobatics of Catherine Ribeiro (pictured, from her 1977 album Les Blues de Piaf), and there's the theatrical trickery of Anne Peko(slawska). I've added Arthur H's very smokey barroom version, and a very beautiful version in Afrikaans by Karin Hougaard. While googling away on Padam, I bumped on the band Padam. Never heard of these guys, but they're an interesting bunch, taking influences from gypsy music, blues, musette and whatnot. Les Papillons is the first song from their new album.
Anne Peko - Padam Padam
Catherine Ribeiro - Padam Padam
Arthur H - Padam Padam
Karin Hougaard - Padam Padam
Padam - Les Papillons
Aaah nice! Ute Lemper does a nice, dramatic version, as well.
