Pink Martini - Sympathique :: Official Music Video

[kilovat56]

Bravo!

[nikhilm89]

When she says "je fume" I wonder if she's talking about tobacco or herb. The line "je ne veux pas travailler" suggests that she's talking about herb (because smoking herb makes you lazy). But the line "je ne veux pas dejeuner" suggests that she's talking about cigarettes (because smoking cigarettes kills your appetite). Also the fact that she's French makes me assume that she's talking about smoking cigarettes.

Any thoughts?

[mmhmmmificate]

@nikhilm89 go to sleep doofus

[mountpanic]

Yeah but she doesn't want any lunch either. ;)

It's in French -- it's about smoking butts... and forgetting.

[DIsraelTV]

@nikhilm89 Could be either, but pretty sure it's cigs. Obviously she's distressed over a guy and/or life, and doesn't want to eat or work or anything. Just forget about it, and relieve her stress with a cig.

Could be weed as well, but yeah she doesn't want to eat.

[TheBibelott]

Wonderful song!

[mileycyruscousinchad]

[PientjeXDLotje27]

[K0zil1a]

Simply sublime.

[MiffyGilks]

Shame this video can't be watched on an iPod touch. Is there a reason why? This was the first Pink Martini song I discovered. My favourite song of PM's.

[randomuser1105]

When I was a teenager I always said that if I could be a part of any band, I'd want it to be Pink Martini.

[Broadsidejohn]

Totally bizarre. "let's all use metrics" scrolls across the background. HUH? Yeah, let's all be cheese-eating surrender monkeys and nihilists. Was that American Sign Language...no it must be French Sign Language. Sort of a remake of Napoleon the IV's "They're coming to take me away..."

[whisper4132]

@Broadsidejohn

...Really? You're complaining about the use of metrics in a song about smoking? Don't be retarded.

[gravisan]

pink martini is american band, from portland oregon, i still like them.

[candy7177]

im not even french and i can tell they have an accent

[Sylverstone14]

Watched this in French class.

Was pretty awesome.

[iamkevinyeoh]

this is the song that made me love pink martini... the very first that that i listen to from pink martini...and i never look back since... thank you for this wonderful song... love it!

[karkariafarhad]

My room is a cage The sun streams through the window, the bellhops are at my door like those little soldiers who want to take me away. I don't want to work, I don't want to lunch I only want to forget and so I smoke. Long ago I knew the smell of love, a million roses didn't smell as sweet. Now a single flower in my way makes me sick. Chorus I am not proud if this life that wants to kill me. It's magnificent to be sympatico but I have never known this. Chorus

[stuffsyaneed2know]

HOLY SHIT. I tried watching LOL (laughing out loud) and this was the first song in the movie.

[Dambrush]

ez a zene szar

[lalabies7]

I used to listen to their album for hours on end when i was only 9.

Now i'm 14, and i realize what a huge impact they made on my music taste and scene.

Thank you Pink Martini!

[JTilolai]

This is the song that made me know them, the best group in the world.

[ierogamos]

adorable!

[tobalaba]

Please, I wanna embed this in my blog!

[EuroArtGirl]

Pink Martini anyone???

[christurkthebrave]

Quest-ce-que c'est la troisiéme langue dans la video,aprés francais et anglais?

[donnamatch225]

@christurkthebrave C'est le japonais. L'alphabet latin note la prononciation des mots. Mais en réalité que les japonais emploient est l'alphabet à gauche à lui seul.

Je ne sais pas si c'est clair parce que j'ai se traduit mot à mot de l'anglais....

[stuffsyaneed2know]

@christurkthebrave Japonais.

[gegamelroks]

My mum has the CD, and couldn't figure out the language for her life.

We had learned this song in French Class, and I fell in love with it immediately.

And I sang it for her from the CD, and I absolutely love Pink Martini now.

MERCI MADAME KUEHNER!!!

[ordinary7sasha]

C'est magnifique! Merci beaucoup pour partager la video!

[CrazyAssFace]

The circumflex is over the wrong "e" in "fenêtre." The video says "fênetre."

[7855waldo]

They forgot to put the verbs and nouns in the credits!

[thegirlwthecatears]

my class had to learn this in french, and i was the only one singing along XD i love their music, it has a very unique genre.

[PrettyxxInxxPink89]

i learned this song in my french class and i love it so much!!

[BlooberTubers]

HAHHA!!!! When i was little i went to an orchestra concert my mom was working and I met Pink Martini!!!

Yea my mom works for an orchestra

[luxaeterna88]

Pink Martini needs to make a video for Splendour in the Grass!!

[7855waldo]

The budget for the grass would bankrupt the studio.

[RadiusBass]

Great band, but 45euros is too much for me...

I didn't have a single drink that night.

But I was mentally satisfied...

[SoBeautifulBoyLol]

Geez.. je l'aime beaucoup :p

[bluecobalt27]

Haha, this was a fantastic video. Original idea but very much in keeping with the multicultural spirit of the band.

China looked *gorgeous* here! :P

[plastinates]

i remember watching this in french class, haha

[metallurgy7]

is this french?

[twothirdsanexplosive]

It's by a band located in Portland, OR.

[bluecobalt27]

She's singing in French but they are an American band. The song is a stylistic homage to the classic French chanteuses.

[Chibikirby373]

yes

[typhoon476]

I love this song. And the video is hilarious :)-)

[jamimicah]

hooray for pink martini! :) xoxo
