Sexy French Accent

[dash_zero]

Does anyone know any songs that feature a gorgeous female french or other such accent /language in a song. 

Also in general, regarless of accent, this is an element i think can greatly enhance the appeal of a song that if some guy had sung wouldn't have had much effect -e.g. 'beautiful things' by Adain.

Also, any reccomendations in general for new foreign language music? 

-The rap tracks 'Control Machete' (from the movie Amores Perros) and stuff by Daddy Yankee have a greater edge i reackon than if they had been sung in english.

"Joe le Taxi" by Vanessa Paradis. Well, it's French.

'Do U lie?' by Prince has a good bit too, and the B-side (remember them?) of Eighth Wonder's "I'm not scared" is a song called "J'ai pas peur" . Then, of course, there is always "je taime" by Serge Gainsbourg

The vocalists for pretty much all of Nouvelle Vague's music are french women. Too many tracks to mention but they perform quite a lot of interesting covers in English as well as stuff in their native tongue.

If you're looking to contrast male/french female vocals their version of Joy Division's 'Love will tear us apart' is certainly v different to Mr Curtis' original!!
