These guys are great!!!. just found one video tonight out of luck. Never heard them. I love it when you find new bands like that :D Thanks for posting.
@kezadrone "New Bands" is kinda funny---they've been around since the early 80s... but I know what you mean-- a discovery is a discovery! And these guys are so fun! I first heard this song, my intro to them, at the MN State Fair. The toothless carny in the black jeans and JD T-shirt running the ride was bopping to this tune. I asked him who it was. "Ah dunno. Ah thank it's th' Tom-Tom Club." This was during CBGB's big time, and the weird juxtaposition of carny and hip was almost too much!
part 2 L'éléphant et l'hippopotame Voulaient savoir ce qu'elles avaient Voulaient savoir la raison qu'elles Pleuraient, pleuraient, pleuraient, pleuraient. Un enfant, tout terrifié, S'est arrêté pour leur parler. Sa bouche ouvrait, mais il est resté Muet, muet, muet, muet. Enlevez vos costumes bêtes, Leur chantaient les oiseaux. Gobe-mouches pipits, chouettes et hiboux Chantaient, chantaient, chantaient, chantaient:
for those who don't understand french, her's the lyrics : (part 1) L'éléphant et l'hippopotame (Se) Sont déguisés en hommes. (Ils) Ont marché au beau village, Marché, marché, marché, marché. Sur le chemin, (ils) ont rencontré Des enfants des hommes, Et des femmes qui courraient Courraient, courraient, courraient, courraient. Tout en courrant, les femmes pleuraient Pleuraient des grosses larmes Grosses gouttes, grosses larmes Tombaient, tombaient, tombaient, tombaient.
gee I try to help you indentify that lady singing by the side! Of course I guessed from your last answer that you know she's the bass player and singer, so I pointed to … Oh well, yes move over…
Damn! Chris Frantz, you been eating good. Better push away from the table and pull up to the Pearl drumset a little more. You still have good chops. And Tina you're still a cutie.
Chris / Tina - just a simple thanks

part 3 :
C'est la guerre, la guerre des hommes.
Ils se sont disputés.
Tout autour, ils veulent tuer,
Tuer, tuer, tuer, tuer.
Tuer, tuer, tuer, tuer.
Tuer, tuer, tuer, tuer.
Tuer, tuer, tuer, tuer.
Tuer, tuer, tuer, tuer.

In a lot of their songs, they seem to have these cutesy lyrics contrasted by something much grittier.

The guitarist really reminds me of Larry Lalonde. Very much the same style and even looks a bit like him.

Well Tina play bass and lead the vocals, now backings and chorus vocals often included Lani, Laura or Loric Weymouth within Tom Tom Club.
Hope it helps.
