| Parody Song Title: | "In France" |
| Parody Written by: | Christie Marie M |
I’ve dreamed about visiting France ever since the 5th grade! It also takes me back to the time in school where this girl and I were competing about who got to do a geography report about France. Unfortunately, none of us got to report about it due my other classmate who picked it before us. Well, if I can’t do the report, at least I get to write a parody about it. Anyways, in regards to winning a grand prize on first class tickets, it’s not everyday that it happens. NOTE: This song’s hard to pace, so I might have messed up on the lyrics. Due to the fact that I haven’t written parodies in ages, I’m a bit rusty, as well as my French (I had reverso.net to guide me). But, I tried the best that I could.
Oui!
A Red Wine
Baked Brie
Foie Gras
Ooh, la, la!
This contest where I won a prize (oh, so, nice)
It’s great I can’t believe my eyes (a surprise, yeah!)
First class ticket to France
One-way trip to romance
A lot of thrills, a lot of fun
Arrived at place of l’amour
Paris, Bordeaux, Versailles, Lyon, Marseilles to see and much more!
Can’t wait to scale the Eiffel Tower
From below Paris lights shine so bright, a-all night!
In France
Croissant, s’il vous plaît!
Merci beaucoup!
In France
Le café au lait
A cup or two
In France
In those chic cafés
Fra-fra-fra-France, France, France
I-I-I-In France (France)
Wish I could sail the River Loire
Maybe I’ll drink some Pinot Noir (Pinot Noir, wine)
Sous chefs’ special gourmets
“Bon appetite!” they say
I’ll seek a fine hot beau tonight!
I’ll feast on sweet petit fours
I love this dessert, baby, they’re so good can’t ask for much more
Cruising around the Arc d’Triomphe
Those traffic headlights that shine so bright, a-all night!
In France
Where they dance ballet
The pas de deux
In France
Elegant portraits
Museé du Louvre
From France
Jean-Paul Gaultier
Fra-Fra-Fra-France,
France, France
Fra-Fra-From--
(Male Vocal)
When I come through, I’ll be learning techniques of art avant-garde
Can’t believe my eyes so Gothic is the Notre-Dame
But I ain’t gonna take my chances, feasting raw eggs on top of steak tartare
Ratatouille, cuisse grenouille*, tres classique le tout le monde, yeah!
If only I’m a vintner* at those French wineries
I’ll make a fortune selling wine at an ounce
Maybe next year I will travel onward to Rome, Italy
In the meantime, I’m gonna enjoy my stay down
In France
They have crème brûlée
And tea for two
In France
Go have cheese soufflé
Mushroom ragout
In France
Robust cassoulet
Chick cordon bleu
In France
Have mignon fillet
Covered in roux
From France
Chablis, chardonnay
Fra-fra-fra-France,
France, France
Fra-fra-fra-from France
Oui!
Mon Dieu!
(Spoken)
Trés magnifique, trés majestique!
Coco Chanel trés fantastique!
Trés magnifique, trés fantastique!
Où est la plus proche la belle boutique?
Trés magnifique, tres prolifique!
Lancôme fait un beau cosmétique!
Trés magnifique, belle artistique!
Exécutent la musique classique!
Go, hit the runway, work it, pose, you’re a model!
(I got it, it is worth it to go flaunt it!)
Let’s go! Ride it, race it, chase it, board the
Paris Metro (I’m on it!)
Rock the château! (I love it!)
In France
Champs d’Elysses
Ville Toulouse
In France
Il Museé Orsay

Good to see you here again! Nice job putting the France into Gaga. Worked well into the OS.
Welcome back, Christie!
Fine effort.
cinq cinq cinq
Frankly, you've very nearly managed to convert this, er, frankincense'd fellow into a full-fledged Frankophile with this one, Christie. And I think you've just invented the travelog-rhythmic to boot!
Very Frenchy dressing..555
you've captured the essence of france well....not that i've ever been there...i HAVE eaten french fries though
Quite a good job, Christie! I haven't eaten much in the way of French food (with the exception of french fries and French's mustard), and I have owned two Renaults (French cars with subpar reliability and poor quality) over the years. 5s.
Merci beaucoup, Monsieurs Jeff Reuben, Mark Scotti, TJC, AFW, Alvin Rhodes, and Mademoiselle Andria! :)...Jeff, I stayed up till 2:30 am last night just to work on this parody...Mark, merci a vous, I "cinq" into deep euphoria! Working on this parody explains my long-term absence from this site. Thought I'd surprise everyone, and thank someone for their comments for a change...TJC, (modestly) I didn't know I had that kind of talent. If you enjoyed my parody, you'll enjoy EmiLoca's "Japan" parody as well. She also invented the travelog-rhythm in her song! :)...AFW, French dressing is very robust and tangy! Glad you enjoyed!...Alvin, I never been to France, either. LOL on the french fries comment. ;) Took a lot of research to elaborate this parody!...Andria, the only French food I had are french fries, French's mustard, Madelaines, and Creme Brulee. I had another French mustard like Grey Poupon! That's too bad about those Renault's though. I can't say I owned one.
Great parody, Christie. And having Ratatouille in it just makes it better! I might try some parodies like this.
Merci beaucoup, Monsieur DJ Blaze! :) Glad you enjoyed. Truth is, I haven't tried Ratatouille yet. I want to though. I also look forward to see your parodies like this as well...BTW, Andria, another French food I had is French Vanilla ice cream!
Christie, I too have tried French vanilla ice cream as well as French vanilla coffee-mate, and I didn't think to add those. About the Renaults again, don't ever buy one, even a new one if and when they return to the US market. If you really want a French car, I'd say look for a Citroen DS or CX or a Peugeot 405 in good condition.
A French kiss for your travelogue! And here's an Eiffel (eyeful) of Fives for you!
part french myself, never been though
Merci again, Mademoiselle Andria! :) In regards to a Citroen or Peugeot, I'll keep that in mind. Maybe I'll tell my cousin about them since he's crazy about cars...Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Thomas Tortue (Tommy Turtle)! :) Glad you enjoyed. Enjoyed that French kiss for my travelogue and the "Eiffel" of 5's. Your v/c is very appreciated...Merci beaucoup, Mademoiselle WUFPAKGRL! :) You're very lucky to be part French. I'm not French, I'm actually Filipino-American. Nowhere near to being French! Thanks for v/c!
Christie, since I like your songs, do you mind if I Tag-alo(n)g?
Merci again, Monsieur TT! :) Don't mind if you do! In the words of Kelly Clarkson: My life would suck without you! I can see you found out about my background origin! Nice to hear from an avant-garde parodist once again! I also noticed they way you write your parodies, you always added some numbered citation/footnotes for info like a term paper. I was going to do that with this parody, but I was in a rush that time. I also hope you like the beaches in France. I hear that it's nice at this time of season. Your v/c is always appreciated.
Cinq cinq cinq for you, Madame Christie. Make some more parodies, I appreciate what you did to my home country... - Madeline
Very Fun Christie Marie, Very cute parody, Wish I had paid better attention in French class though:)
Merci beaucoup, Mademoiselle Madeline! :) Never seen you around here before, oh well, pleased to meet you! I enjoyed reading your books as a child and watching your movie. I'll try to add some parodies when I have the time, depending on whether or not I have the idea on hand. I wished I added other French icons like Gerard Depardieu or Pepe Le Pew in my song. I also thought of adding Tour de France cuz it's a big event...Merci beaucoup, Monsieur B.A. Dave! :)...LOL on your comment. I took French in college, unfortunately my French it's rusty. I had reverso.net to help me. FYI, the word "grenouille" in my song is pronounced "gre-new-yah". I was researching about France by going on tourist attraction sites, French phrase sites, and Wikipedia. Hope you can do a Lady Gaga parody someday and put your recording through Soundclick if you can't do it on your own website. Anyways, glad you enjoyed!
a very nice parody Christie, have to say that was well written especially the french that you paced in so well you should make . Je vous donne cinq ans pour une grande parodie
Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Gari J! :), Welcome back! Am I ever so impressed with your French as well! I got to admit that Colby O'Donis' lines, and the "half-psychotic" rap line I was trying to parody is a little hard for me to pace, due to fast singing. I had to use reverso.net to guide me in French since I haven't used that language for a long time since French class in college. Glad you enjoyed!....hey, maybe I should change my name to Lady Foie Gras. LOL!!! :)
And speaking of Tagalog, do you plan on making fun of them songs? Or at least an English-language OPM song or two?
Merci beaucoup, Monsieur LPG! :) Well, in regards of spoofing songs in Tagalog, it hasn't crossed my mind just yet. Since I am a Filipino born in America, I haven't used much of that language. Sometimes pacing songs in a foreign language is hard. Another idea came to mind is using 60's/70's rock ballads to spoof in Tagalog. Also about OPM's spoofed in an English language, that's an idea for you!
I once tried my hand at spoofing a Rivermaya song entitled "214", although I haven't finished it.
Marie M, Have you ever been to Puy du Fou? Can you recommend it?
Very late Merci a vous, Monsieurs LPG and Brother Chris! :) LPG, once you finished spoofing this Rivermaya song, is there a chance that you'll post it?...Brother Chris, though I haven't actually been to Puy du Fou, I highly recommend that theme park. I took a virtual tour on their site and had lots of medieval attractions where knights fight similar to those in Medieval Times restaurants, 18th Century Villages, The Hotel La Villa Gallo Romaine where you can stay overnight while visiting the park, and the like. If you want more info, the link to this website is http://www.puydufou.com/UK/
LOVED this. Great job subbing the "da da doo doo" with creative French and such. I would love to hear this sung with an awful accent sometime. :)
Merci beaucoup, Mademoiselle EmiLoca! :) I still think that your Japan parody is a lot better than mine! Look at all those comments you got! This was the first parody I that have encountered with a travelog-rhythm. I got the idea when I first saw the subbing from Guy DiRito's Gaitano Man parody and yours. Oh, in regards to having it sung with an awful accent, I wished I could afford the equipment to do recordings on some of my parodies. I sang this parody on open mic night and had a bunch of guys sing Colby's part in the song.
Great thnx 4 commenting on porridge people
Bienvenue, Monsieur Jakko Wakko! :) Still enjoyed that hot, steamy porridge from your parody! Merci beaucoup to your comment, Monsieur! Glad you enjoyed! :)
