Les Trois Accords...
I bought a CD a day or two ago, and it`s got to be one of the funniest ones that I`ve ever heard. It`s by a group called Les Trois Accords, a French group from Québec, and the album is "Gros Mammouth Album turbo", with a large mammouth on the front. It includes the smash single (I`m serious, it was huge in Québec) called "Saskatchewan". Quite honestly, the singing sucks, but the music is great! It`s incredibly catchy, and the lyrics are funny.
Here`s a sample of some lyrics from a few of the songs, starting with Loin d'ici (Far from here):
Fr -Quand je vois ton visage, Je pense à ton nom, Et à tes cheveux, Ils finissent exactement là où commence ton front...
En -When I see your face, I think of your name, And of your hair, Which ends exactly where your forehead begins...
Another example from the song Vraiment beau (Really beautiful):
Fr -Tu étais vraiment beau, Avec ta moustache... Et lorsqu'il faisait chaud, Elle te faisait de l'ombrage, Et lorsqui'il faisait moins zéro, Elle recouvrait ton visage...
En -You were really handsome, With your moustach... And when it was hot, It gave you shade, And when it was below zero, It covered your face...
I could give you more examples, but I`m sure that you get the point. But seriously, I`ve got one of their songs stuck in my head, and I can`t get it out. "Hawaienne, J'aurais voulu que tu soé Hawaienne..."

In grade nine french our teacher played us a CD that was SUPER popular in France when she was living there, we had to listen to it and translate what we could and it was all crazy like what you transcribed there. Those damn Frenchies, so crazy ;)

I found my appartment off a list of winter guides and their friends that were looking to sublet for the summer. I emailed, and had a place. Yup, that simple. I figured it was better than finding some random person on the internet without seeing the place yet.
It`s fairly close to work -about a 25 min. walk, or a 5 min. bus ride, so I got a bus pass.
I did get some hand sanitizer. Actually, I got it on Canada Day when I bought a chicken burger fom the Canadian Poultry Association :)
So from what I hear, Les Trois Accords played at the Live-8 concert in Barrie, Ontaria, Canada.
