Labelle
Everything is getting a day pushed back this holiday week. Today I am posting some links for your pleasure and then tomorrow, supposing I have some time at night (for I will be driving home for Thanksgiving during the day) I will be posting the next lyricist on the seemingly endless list of top 100 lyricists (well it definitely has an end, it just may take several years out of my life, someone should do the math…someone that is not me).
Anyway on to some awesome linkage. The A.V. Club has some awesome articles and I suggest everyone who checks out this blog to check them out. Today I bring you their list of 19 foreign phrases we would not know had they not been in popular songs. My personal favorite is “Voulez-vous coucher avec moi (ce soir)” from Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade.” Everyone knows this song but do you know what they are singing. If you speak French you do and you are laughing. It means Would you like to sleep with me (tonight). Just tonight, how about the entire day. Well thanks for being subtle about it…I’ll get back to you…just kidding.

Notable CD’s Release Yesterday (Monday, Nov. 23)
“For Your Entertainment” by Adam Lambert
The American Idol runner-up’s debut album featuring guest appearances from Lady GaGa, Pink and even Matthew Bellamy of Muse. The Huffington Post calls the album, “An Instant Classic” and I will have check it out because I am intrigued. Could this be the biggest album from any American Idol contestant. It certainly may be the most anticipated. From Lambert’s flamboyant album cover to performance on the American Music Awards he has certainly drawn a lot of interest. Personally, I can care less what the man does on stage or on his CD’s. If the public does not like it then they do not have to buy it, or watch it. It is only for your entertainment!
