Alouwhat!?
 

For no apparent reason, I had the old children's song "Aloutte" stuck in my head today. Singing it all day, it occurred to me that I have absolutely no idea what the lyrics mean. I know a little bit of French, but, save for a few articles and such, nothing in Alouette is familiar to me.

So I looked up the lyrics and used Google to translate them:

Lark, nice lark
Lark, I will pluck you.
I will pluck your head
I will pluck your head
And your head and your head
Lark, nice lark
Lark, I will pluck you


Lark, nice lark
Lark, I will pluck you.
I will pluck your nose
I will pluck your nose
And your nose and your nose
Lark, nice lark
Lark, I will pluck you

Lark, nice lark
Lark, I will pluck you.
I will pluck your eyes
I will pluck your eyes
And your eyes and your eyes
Lark, nice lark
Lark, I will pluck you

etc. (continuing with neck, wing, back, legs, and tail)

:eek:

wow, with a couple changed letters that could be an interesting song...

Mark, nice Mark
Mark, I will **** you....

:blush:

OMG!!

That song was stuck in my head this morning for no damned reason!

I took French in HS and learned this long ago. I remember the lyrics, and if I recall it is actually not a children's song, it is an old song sung by loggers.

After learning what the lyrics meant I used to laugh when I'd see the old Gilligan's Island when Ginger was singing it in a seductive manner.

Uh-oh, what if this song stuck in G.Delight's and C.Matt's heads gets confused with that other song stuck in too many Swanker's heads this week?!?


Could mean baaad news in the Tiki Room!

LOL!!!!

I used to have a cat named allowette... she was precious...

I hope you didn't pluck her

I never plucked pussy -- cats...
