Foux Du Fafa - Flight of the Conchords - English Translation

[TeddyWaldon]

Je peux pas croire qu'on montre ça en classe. :3

[torto]

Voi = see là = here

[Riboshom]

@torto

If you wanna go for the strictly etymological meaning, that's what it used to mean, yes.

It still translates to "there" in the demonstrative and interjectional senses.

e.g. "Voilà! La conversation dans le parc." (sic) > "There! The conversation in the park." (I'm translating exactly as it was said, of course they got a few things wrong in the song. I'm personally still enjoy it.)

[MrPride42]

No word in english for "voilà"?

[Thenomnomgirl]

i watched the shwiggan version first and i found that one more funny

no offense i still found this one funny

[myshoescramp]

Je ne comprends pas :(

[TheDeadLobster]

Shwiggan!

[oracle897]

Thumbs up if you discovered this in French class :)

[TheCoolBeans66]

The description isn't completely accurate. I'm a Canadian and I only understood about 10% of the song before this

[Jimmehftw]

@TheCoolBeans66 But French Canadian people aren't really French. Splish Splash.

[Fudgemandude]

Shwiggan brought me here!

[MsIreland98]

My French teacher plays this too XD

[Magnegro]

I fucking lost it at Jacques Cousteau. Oh man

[MaxOfS2D]

As a Frenchman, this is indeed an accurate representation of our everyday life

[lahddie]

@MaxOfS2D Voila mon passport!

[robertburn15]

Un deux, un deux trois quuuuuaaaatree

[KrazeKat667]

[cowcrusher]

Such a funny song, also as a side note eliza coupe is hot.

[EowynAhsokaLover]

All of the comments are filled up with variants of "my french teacher showed us this in class". For the record, mine did too

[SirLadyDanger]

I love Bret's "French face."

[Dax9333]

Who is your French teacher because my French teacher played it too?

[TaylorLautnerLuvur21]

My French teacher played this for us!!!!!!!! So funny!:D

[keepitplaying24]

After much nagging I got my teacher to agree to play this in class!

[ArtiqeHD]

[caleb121693]

My French teacher put this on earlier at school. Great song

[kissable47333]

My french teacher played this for me the other day and i simply cannot get it out of my head (x

[longswordofheaven]

BAGUETTE! hou hou hou!

[Noname9000000]

Baguette! Ohohohohohohoho!

[McK21279]

I laughed so hard when they all asked each other "ca va?) because I'm taking French and I finally could actually make out words in this!

[WillSing4Zombies]

My French teacher plays this for us EVERY MORNING as we enter the classroom, it's the funniest thing. I think she believes that it's a song made by those people who write books for new French speakers, because she hasn't laughed at it yet.

[RandomFlicks]

some americans do know french haha, but great video

[PichalBernd]

@RandomFlicks they are australian, but if u refering to the person who made the translation, ye :p

[RandomFlicks]

@PichalBernd they are from New Zealand

[adamo20088]

@RandomFlicks no austrailia

[weirdbeer]

@PichalBernd I just meant that many more Canadians understand French compared to Americans. We have a big portion of the country that only speaks French. Thats all. So I thought I'd put this up to help out those who don't understand any French at all. Didn't mean you single you Americans out.

[rleary1]

@weirdbeer I'm an American that grew up in North Bay Ontario and understand completely. I was taught French from 2nd grade up. This video makes me laugh my butt off. 'Gerard Depardieu?.."

[muffinmice]

@weirdbeer what about us brits?! :)

[gemzyrev]

@PichalBernd I think If you look them up, you will see that they are New Zealanders :) I am from new zealand and we are very proud of Brett and Jemaine!
