French is a language of subtle inflection, many sounds are so much like another. I played in a French/American rock band for 3 years. The writer who composed a lot of the music went through agony when he tried to write lyrics in French.<br />Rap, on the other hand is a form custom made. It allows the rapid fire wordplay, the language games of the language to come into full flower.<br />There are a few artists in French rock who have made the language work, but rock is not a French art form.<br />German is so much more suited to ROCK N ROLL!<br />That said, The Hollies piece is pretty cool, they handled the lyrical translation and poetic flow nicely!microdothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01564820031343630871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32733123.post-67644623209227996382011-01-09T18:11:43.174+01:002011-01-09T18:11:43.174+01:00Normally, I prefer it when the French pop singers ...Normally, I prefer it when the French pop singers rip off Anglophone pop stars (e.g.,Sylvie Vartan).<br /><br />Also, I used to collect translations of film titles.Laci the Chinese Crestedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07371541369012938298noreply@blogger.com
