Séséséséségolene!

Ségolene Royal... she may not have the policy, or the charisma, or the experience. But I'll be damned if she doesn't have a great song.



When Ségo (am i the only one who thinks "sonic the hedgehog" when i hear "sego"? ..probably) was in town, they had these giant speakers blasting the Ségo song. It has slowly wormed it's way into my brain and refuses to leave.

So now, I foist it upon you. Go to 0:50 for that irresistable chorus. Shit, if Kerry had a song like this, he totally would've won.

Sample lyrics (translation mine):

L’imaginer
A l’Elysée,
La plus belle fille du parti
Et la plus savoureuse aussi

C'est tout cela, Ségolène
Et plus que ça, Ségolène,
Elle est géniale, Ségolène
Et même Royal, Ségolène…

my translation:

Imagine it
At Elysee (palace... the french white house)
The most beautiful girl of the party
And also the tastiest (this one escapes me... "savoureuse" also means "juicy" like a piece of gossip, but that doesn't seem to fit either. maybe we are planning on cannibalizing her? mm.)

She's all this, Ségolène
And more than this, Ségolène
She is great, Ségolène
and even Royal (PUN! POW!), Ségolène

A masterwork in political songwriting. A more sober French election entry may come later.
