Marie Antoinette- Lio (1979)

[lisagoblind]

This song is actually from the 1982 album "Suite Sixtine." The English lyrics were written by Ron & Russell Mael of the band Sparks.

This song was actually composed and arranged by Jacno (RIP), check out his stuff, it's amazing.

Lio isn't Belgian - she was born in Portugal.

[Citadin]

@doravale raised in Belgium, moved there very young. Actualy she lived most of her life in France, so she's from all three countries.

@doravale Yes, and that really impresses me due to the fact she sings primarily in French. Because she is speaking English in this song, that makes her customarily fluent in at least three languages. But my favorite song of hers is Suite Sixtine.

Excellent.

Put "Banana Banana... Banana split" in place of "Marie Antoinette" and you have the original french lyrics, which nobody never minded ;)
