Hi, again. Oh? You really liked that video with Petula Clark singing in French? Hey, great!
But now what? You want more singing in French? And it has to be from France? And you even want somebody who is actually named France?? This is getting ridiculous! But let me look.

Hmm … How about France Gall? She won the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest with ”Poupée De Cire, Poupée De Son” (“Wax Doll, Sawdust Doll” — or, as some suggest, Wax Doll, Singing Doll”. Or you could go with my favorite, Google’s toolbar translation — “Headstock of Wax, Headstock of Sound”!).
France had a great face for singing. She seemed very pleased with herself that she got all the way through the song without flubbing it.
The orchestra sounds like the one Procol Harum used. They had to be loud, I assume to carry the kid through.
She has a great face, but a blah voice! The huge orchestra nearly drowns her! I think she’s singing about men just treat her like a wax doll. I was once fluent in French, but if ya don’t use it, you lose it!
