Canada selects a song for W.

Rate: 5 Flag

As JK Brady wrote about,  Canada recently got together and voted on a list of songs for Obama....But I felt we should at least have one for President Bush. Back in the 80s, when video was first starting out, Mitsou was Quebec's answer to Madonna. Here she is with her imcomparable hit, Bye, Bye Mon Cowboy.

 

Update:  Just read Beth Mann's awesome post on vintage videos.  And felt compelled to add that there are two versions of this video, an 80s one and a 90s one. Originally I posted the 80s one (below), because I actually like it better. I like her natural attention-whore exuberance.   But then I changed it to the 90s one (above) because I couldn't resist the Obama-esque cowboy.  Now, I know Mitsou isn't a great example of  musical genius (and in the end it didn't matter, since only nostalgic Canadians showed up to this post, anyways.) But here she is once again  in ALL her vintage glory.

Here's the 80's version:

mmmmm....mitsou.... she was yummmmy....in the day
Love it. PERFECT song for that wannabe cowpoke.
I could do that. But I think it's best for people to imagine their own lyrics. Basically it all boils down to: game's over, dude. The important thing, I think, is that this does not seem to be a sad goodbye.
You tell him Mitsou! No tears there.
Jennifer! So great to see you here!
What a flashback! And inspired & appropriate choice indeed...
You mean it got nominated. And not selected! C'est fou, ça!
Bye, bye mon cowboy indeed!

I love her sleek pigtails and her bratty attitude.

I'm going out today and acting like her. See if the world can handle the new moi.

Thanks for the mention, btw!
Thanks for dropping by. I knew you'd get this.
Thanks for that recommendation; it is really helpful for me to say!
