Quote from: "RGMike"
Quote from: "Gazoo"
A cloche et toi, a ton heure.  Or whatever the hell Jeff Lynne's on about.  


per Top 40 db, here's the verse:

Accroches-toi a ton reve
Accroches-toi a ton reve
Quand tu vois ton bateau partir
Quand tu sents -- ton coeur se briser
Accroches-toi a ton reve.


No idea what got lost in translation:

Hang you has your magazine
Hang You has your magazine
When you see your boat to leave
When you sents -- your heart to break
Hang itself You has your magazine.

Another BOS to the Pretenders.

But what I'd really like to hear is some novelty: either Joe Dolce, "Fish Heads," "Pac-Man Fever," or that song that goes "It's a party / It's a party party / A party, a party party weekend."


I think Pac-Man Fever would be 1982.

An aak(!!!) to Journey. I used to like them back then when I was in high school but now Steve Perry makes me want to rip my ears out. Cars, though, don't bother me as much as a lot of you.

It's kinda funny, me being the old fart, and you being the one that usually disses the 60's music; we both like the Cars.  It always strikes me oddly the disdain many have for them, but hey, what's music without some strongly-held opinions? :lol:

I know, I tried several Fren-to-English websites too. But it appears to be a translation of the main English verse, "Hold on tight to your dreams"

This is similar to what you would see in Chinese to English translations. You see examples of this during Jay Leno's Tonight Show when does headlines.
