Mon Amant de Saint Jean

My favorite new Helm song, it’s actually a French folk song from WWII. This is the version Helm uses:

Je ne sais pourquoi j’allais danser
A Saint-Jean, au musette,
Mais quand un gars m’a pris un baiser,
J’ai frissonné, j’étais chipée

{Refrain:}
Comment ne pas perdre la tête,
Serrée par des bras audacieux
Car l’on croit toujours
Aux doux mots d’amour
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux,
Moi qui l’aimais tant
Je le trouvais le plus beau de Saint-Jean,
Je restais grisée
Sans volonté
Sous ses baisers

Sans plus réfléchir, je lui donnais
Le meilleur de mon être
Beau parleur, chaque fois qu’il mentait,
Je le savais mais je l’aimais

{au Refrain}

Mais hélas, à Saint-Jean comme ailleurs
Un serment n’est qu’un leurre
J’étais folle de croire au bonheur
Et de vouloir garder son cœur

Comment ne pas perdre la tête,
Serrée par des bras audacieux
Car l’on croit toujours
Aux doux mots d’amour
Quand ils sont dits avec les yeux,
Moi qui l’aimais tant,
Mon bel amour, mon amant de Saint-Jean,
Il ne m’aime plus
C’est du passé
N’en parlons plus

A Very Potter Musical

Updated post on July 13 to reflect new version

Amazingly hilarious production up on YouTube called A Very Potter Musical. I watched the entire thing this afternoon, laughing my head off. It’s so hilarious. Adore the guy who plays Harry, he’s cute and has a great voice. Their Ginny was far more annoying than I see her, but it was funny. Ron was great with his snacks. Hermione was funny too, and had a nice voice. Voldemort was hilarious and – once he was off Quirrell’s back – sexy as well.

My personal highlights:

  • Voldemort tap-dancing – and motorboating Bellatrix
  • Drunk Voldemort
  • The Death Eater chorus line
  • Harry talking about how awesome he is
  • Ron’s giant chocolate bar
  • The Ron/Hermione kiss, if you can call it that
  • Draco rolling around randomly on the floor
  • Goyle’s voice, and the Indian Burn Hex
  • Dumbledore’s twanging accent
  • Voldy and Quirrell’s bromance
  • Texan Cho Chang
  • Cedric “find” Diggory
  • Molly Weasley’s brief and extremely New Jersey appearance

The music was excellent. Sound quality’s not great, I had a hard time hearing some dialogue while music was painfully loud. I wish I had this on DVD, I would watch it far too often.

Here’s the playlist. If you have trouble with it in the embedded player, click here.

Pink

So I’ve recently been reminded how much I love Pink – she just really kicks ass. And her live acts are incredible. I love all the circus acrobatics she does. I’ve always wanted to do the Flying Silk, dude. The nearest she’s coming to me in this tour will be in September up in Fairfax.  I must get to this show somehow. I haven’t been to a big concert in years.

Look at this. I have to go see this:
