Subject: The Freedom Fries Quiz - c'est fini!
The French - doncha just love 'em?
I was highly amused when I heard that in the USA, the term "French fries" had been replaced by "Freedom fries" in many restaurants, sorry, eating places, at the height of the Iraq war.
In celebration of the beautiful language of those wine-guzzling, cheese-eating surrender monkeys (;)), all these lyrics are from songs completely or partially in French.
Song title and artist please, limit 3 for now.

7. Y va pas partout

8. When he takes me in his arms and whispers love to me
Lesley - La Vie En Rose - Grace Jones
9. And when a child is born into this world

10. Here in my heart

3 for 3 Paul well done!
Personally I have a love/hate relationship with les Francais.
I have had many happy holidays in France, I love the food and the language. Many French people are friendly, hospitable and charming.
On the other hand, I visit Paris regularly on business and I meet many French people there who are rude, hostile, arrogant and look down their nose at the English.

Hi Indy
#10 - has that song got French lyrics in it?? It's not the correct answer...I'm sure you know this one Indy
#15 - correct! :)
Subject: Re: The Freedom Fries Quiz!
No, I was thinking Celine Dion was French-Canadian, so it might have been a trick question. Right now, I'm drawing a blank. Sorry :(

...who, for some strange reason, always makes the 'Top Ten Famous Belgians' list whenever it's published!
What does it all mean? Couldn't begin to tell you...!
