Had this fabulous French tune in my head all weekend and I thought I would pass it along…the song is called “A Cause Des Garcons” and is by the uber-talented Yelle…enjoy!

Just in case you did not make it to Europe this summer, here is the European song of the summer: “Laisse-toi Aller Bebe” by Collectif Metisse.

It fills all the requirements for a euor-summer song: mega-catchy, multi-lingual, comes with a requisite group dance.

Enjoy!

Since the lyrics are in English you can sing along and pretend you speak French…

While in Paris I fell in love with euro-pop diva Yelle. Her debut album “Pop Up” is amazing. Get it here:
