Original Song- Internet Date by Veronique Chevalier

[bamwnt2b]

love the dresden dolls reference =3 keep up the awesome work

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@bamwnt2b So glad you caught the DD reference. I adore their work, and their wry take on the world.

[bamwnt2b]

hahaha love it, the dresden dolls reference was a perfect ending

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@bamwnt2b Merci beaucoup! It couldn't have happened without the invaluable help of my collaborators, Kyle A. Carrozza who worked with La Moi on the storyboard, and did all the illustration, as well, as his trusty side-kick, John Berry who did the animation. We are only as good as our teams, and I was fortunate to be able to work with these guys! :-)

[WonchopAnimation]

Dat John Berry animation. Compliments the song quite well.

[doctorpsycho1960]

Nice song, nice voice, cute animation.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@doctorpsycho1960 Merci Monsieur l'Doctor. Your diagnosis is most appreciated!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@amarcordeon Thank you Lillo! I appreciate your kind comments always! :-)

[danineteen]

"Put in my order for beefcake, not spam." I love that line!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@danineteen - Merci! It find it rather tasty myself, as well! ;-)

[segagenesis164]

I know the guy who animated this, he has a deviantart acount.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@segagenesis164 - Yes, that is correct. Kyle does have a deviantart account. So does that affect your opionion of this video one way or another? ;-)

[segagenesis164]

@VeroniqueChevalier Oh no, I like the song too.

[Gateshots69er]

Love it......this is a fantastic video.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@Gateshots69er - Merci for the kind remark, and please do let your friends know about it as well! Laughter is better when shared!

[Alem883]

nice

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@Alem883 - Glad vous like!

[janncastor]

going viral once, going viral twice...going andd going! Do I hear 4 million?

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@janncastor - Why not? The more the merrier, and the more opportunities for each of us! :-)

[LilyHeartless]

I love this video and song, lovely Verinique! I have SO been there!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@LilyHeartless - I seem to have hit a nerve with folks, both men and women have been responding equally as well. I wonder why so many are having such a challenge finding companionship? When all else fails, laughter is the best solution! :-)

[EveVoice1]

Ha-Ha! This is really funny! The cartoon looks just like you! The artist really captured you brilliantly! What a great concept, V!!!! :-)

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@EveVoice1 Merci Elisabeth! Coming from a fellow artiste, I really value your comment! xoxo

[lemonadesoul]

brilliant! :)

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@lemonadesoul Much appreciation!!! :-)

[LetzShake332]

Very catchy, I like it. :3

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@LetzShake332 Your kind remark is most greatly appreciated! I would be so appreciative if vous would send the link far and wide. If I can take this viral, it could ratchet up my ability to continue to ply my trade as a Mad Sonictist. YouTube tracks stats and number of hits can & do make a difference in a performer's career.

[treasureleaf]

Have not had this much fun in years.

The whole package is....super-toonish.

More please Veronique!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@treasureleaf Merci! Well, if I can get enough views on this video and it catches on, then I most certainly shall reason to do more. Please share and pass along the link!

[ilikepie21234]

wasn't expecting much but I love this one :D

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@ilikepie21234 It's good to have low expectations, so that way when they are exceeded, it's a lovely surprise. Merci for the kind remarks! xoxo

[JackandSally4ever]

The song is catchy and the animation compliments it very well ^_^

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@JackandSally4ever - Merci beaucoup! I am very honoured vous think well of the efforts of my creative team and moi! :-)

[amrauk]

Very original. Superb

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@amrauk I am honoured at your kind remarks! Merci.

[SteampunkPagan]

I love this so much I sing it randomly

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@SteampunkPagan Merci! I am glad that vous find it catchy!

[VonDarkfaulker]

Funny! I wonder if you could market this to an online dating site for TV adds

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@VonDarkfaulker Monsieur V- I have much loftier goals than that. My own media empire. Let the others come and beg at my feet to have the privilege of using my work. Let the mountain come to Mad Veronique! ;-)

[cacamille]

awesome!!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@cacamille Much appreciation for your comment!

[bobg58]

I loved the video.... It brought back a few memories. (Glad those days are behind me!)

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@bobg58 My condolences on your past traumas! Luckily the misadventures depicted in my dramatic reenactment are mostly anecdotal.

[Pantherman1979]

This was funny, been a long time since I've seen funny. And the truth. Great combination of both and I like the "old style" that that cartoon was dawn in.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@Pantherman1979 Merci beacoup! One always appreciates the praise of strangers, for friends often flatter in order to remain friends. ;-)

[BellefairePodcast]

Lovely Lovely and MAD!!

I'm sad to say, that I know exactly of what you speak in this vid.

Of course, I wouldn't mind a Siberian tan! lol

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@BellefairePodcast - Ah, Cher Monsieur M, Vous are too kind. And alas, because I did not include the lyrics in the video, the triple entedre is lost, for it is in actuality a "Cyberian" tan! Still want one? ;-)

[sardonique]

Very funny and apt contemporary observation of today's 'risky business' of remote romantic relationship wrangling. The animation style is wonderfully similar to that of John Kricfalusi, and captures the exquisite (and actual/'real life') physical charms of the lovely Mlle. Veronique Chevalier. Superb !

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@sardonique Merci Monsieur Sardonique! I am most honoured that vous deem this worthy of such an outpouring of elegant verbal effluence!

[thromb]

THIS VIDEO IS 'EXCELLENT'!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@thromb Awww...Merci. Your kind remarks are much appreciated. And allow moi to commend vous on your excellent taste in animated videos. :-)

[DoctorExplosion]

@VeroniqueChevalier

Lovely broken faux-french.

[unwoman]

Yes!! Hilarious animation, lovely song, and I had (mostly) the exact same experience with internet dating. Blech! Brava to you!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@unwoman Erica, coming from a fellow artiste, you kind words mean the world to moi! And you're an inspiration to moi as well! xoxo

[biz2bizpro]

V,

You truly have more talents than anyone else I've ever met. You sing, you dance, and now I find out you can do animated youtube videos. You rock! Keep smiling....

Namaste

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@biz2bizpro Thanks Namas! I appreciate your support! So happy we're staying in contact!

[confatalis]

This is wonderful! Very impressive Veronique.

We can't wait to see more!

-Sandra and Timur

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@confatalis - Gosh! Coming from vous, that means so much to moi! Merci!

[MommaKatKat]

This is very very hilary-

-ously cute and fun.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@MommaKatKat Merci beaucoup. I truly appreciate the positive feedback! :-)

[thriftysparrow]

Ms Veronique Chevalier's New Music Video Extroidinarie! I must say that I love the humor and quality warmth of sound coming through my headphones. Not tinny... Almost sounds like vinyl, with pops and everything!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@thriftysparrow Merci beaucoup! Allow moi to commend vous on your excellent taste in odditory entertainment! :-)

[wolveshowl69]

AWESOME!!! Chris D from NYC! ;)

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@wolveshowl69 Merci mon ami! xoxo

[CirqueMedrano]

This is fantastic - we love it Veronique - love the song and the singing - and the animation is wonderful!! Love the retro treatment of this future.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@CirqueMedrano Merci mon ami! Vous are so kind! This is but one of the many reasons I have been so rare a spectator to your fine musical presentations over the years. Just as the shoe maker's children have no shoes, the entertainer has no time to go out and be entertained. And my, my, how your beamish boy has grown! :-) xoox

[outland2442]

Nice "Dresden" plug at the end...great job!! John Kricfulusi would be proud!!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@outland2442 Oui! Kyle is definitely of the same era as John. It's just what the style was when he was honing his design chops. These things always go in cycles (or maybe rockets?) ;-)

[LynetteYetter]

Wonderful, Veronique!  (I especially love the Puppy Break). You and your friends have created another classic! Congratulations!

- Lynette Yetter, author of the novel "Lucy Plays Panpipes for Peace"

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@LynetteYetter Merci Lynette. Kyle did such a wonderful job with the sight gags, and I am so pleased to hear that vous and others are finding amusement with his handiwork! xoxo

[harpzombie]

This is cute!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@harpzombie Awww. Merci! So pleased vous enjoyed!

[beastlycad]

Yeah i like it!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@beastlycad Merci! Please don't forget to put me in the queue as a candidate for one of your own videotronic creations to one of my bits of mad sonics! :-)

[coupedefleur]

Superlative! Surprises and delights! A thesaurus full of positive comments!

But of course, geeks with Siberian tans are hot right now. (and are always classic)

The steamy goggles are a nice touch.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@coupedefleur Merci for your kind remarks about my Internet Date video. Oui! Cyberian (that's one of the jokes that loses it's full triple-entendre punches when the lyrics aren't viisible, alas) tans are well, actually, more cool than hot, since they are made in the shade... ;-)

[iuppolarbear]

Brilliant! Simply brilliant. 1) thank you for making this happen and 2) (and even more-so) thank you for your clever and slightly-twisted (in a good way, of course) gift to the musical world.  Keep 'em coming!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@iuppolarbear Merci beaucoup! I shall do my utmost to continue to pollute, er, contribute to the cultural enrichment of all an sundry. :-)

[gothichangman]

How apropos this song is to our most recent discussions...it's fantastic my dear friend...beaucoup kudos!!!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@gothichangman Merci mon ami! Interestingly enough, although this is a new video, the song itself has been in the vault for quite some time, just awaiting to morph into the visual extravaganza it is today. :-)

[gothichangman]

Even if the Internet turns out to be a fad or the ruin of the human race...this song is still has a classic appeal.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@gothichangman I think the Internet is surely going to be the latter, for that is the only way that Mad V has been able to have a modicum of a musique career. *Evil Cackle* I worm my way into the lives of the unwary, via The Machine!

[DeltaTone40]

Very, very wonderful. Perfectly animated to communicate the song. Very well done!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@DeltaTone40 Monsieur Jon! Coming from a fellow artiste- that means very much to moi. Merci beaucoup!

[DeltaTone40]

Wonderful!!!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@DeltaTone40 Merci!

[victorsierraband]

Very WeirdValesque!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@victorsierraband That's so victorsierraband of vous to say, Monsieur Bob! :-)

[JonnyBGoode44]

Very cute, Veronique! :)

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@JonnyBGoode44 Votre kind comment is most appreciated Monsieur Jonny! xoxo

[victorsierraband]

I love your "weirdvalesque" universe dear...

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@victorsierraband Merci! :-)

[Novadrome]

So good. Excellent work, everyone!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@Novadrome Merci beaucoup. Your kind consideration is much appreciated!

[elegantdestruction]

Tres Bien! I love Love Love it! It's amazing! I love how it's acted out, and how early animation it is, the betty-boop/steamboat willie-esque animation style, and tongue-in-cheek jokes. Absolutly a triumph! One small step for Veronique, one giant leap for her career!

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@elegantdestruction Awww...Merci beaucoup! It was much more fun to make the song and the video than it was to do the preliminary research on the subject of Internet dating. ;-)

[elegantdestruction]

@VeroniqueChevalier Oh Cheri, I too knew the pains of internet dating.

Vous Loyal Fan

~H.M.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@elegantdestruction Monsieur H.M.- Oh, I assure vous these were not based on my own travails. Being French, I've never had to go searching for l'amour. It always finds moi- very much as the dear "Patron Saint" O France, l'Marquis du Sade found his... ;-)

[MiskatonicDropout]

Ah, my dearest Veronique! Amazing as always! I certainly got a few chuckles. :] Keep it up, m'dear!

-Renfield

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@MiskatonicDropout Merci Cheri! I would be most deeply grateful if vous would be so kind as to share the wealth with your circle of 'fiends'. It wouldn't be fair to keep all this mirth to yourself, now would it? ;-)

[MiskatonicDropout]

@VeroniqueChevalier Oh I certainly have spread the word! :D

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@MiskatonicDropout Ah tres bien! I have been trying to figure out how to spreak the Nutella along with the word, but alas, that methodology continues to elude moi!

[armandbriones]

Veronique, that is simply wonderful. I really love it. Quelle magnifique!

lovemando.

[VeroniqueChevalier]

@armandbriones Merci Armand! Now back to the drawing board to come up with the next project to spring upon an unsuspecting public. :-)
