Belleville rendez-vous

Title: Belleville rendez-vous Artist: Mathieu Chédid Movie: Les Triplettes de Belleville

I won’t finish my life in Timbuktu Cheeks so tight my lips are turning blue I'd like to be wrinkled Utterly wrinkled Wrinkled like a Triplet from Belleville Don’t want to wind my days in Acapulco Stiff as a board dancing tango-tango I'd love to be twisted Utterly twisted Twisted like a Triplet from Belleville (Come on Girls!) Refrain: Swinging Belleville rendez-vous Marathon dancing doop dee doop Vaudou Cancan balais taboo Au Belleville swinging rendez-vous I won’t be an old man in Singapore Playing scrabble and eating petits-fours I want to be wicked, Utterly wicked, Wicked like the Triplets from Belleville I don’t want to end my life in Honolulu Singing like a bird in an ormolu I want to be as rough Every bit as rough Rough, rough as a Triplet from Belleville Refrain Don’t mind ending my life in Katmandu Signing with a sitar and a guru But I’d prefer to be Utterly flying Swinging with the Triplets from Belleville (Come on Girls!) Refrain

Belleville Rendez-vous From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Belleville Rendez-vous" is a song from the animated film Les Triplettes de Belleville (2003). Its music was composed by Benoît Charest and its lyrics written by Sylvain Chomet. It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song. Les Triplettes de Belleville From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Les Triplettes de Belleville is a 2003 animated feature film written and directed by Sylvain Chomet. It was released as The Triplets of Belleville in North America, and as Belleville Rendez-vous in the UK. The film features the voices of Michèle Caucheteux, Jean-Claude Donda, Michel Robin, and Monica Viegas; although there is some dialogue, the majority of the film story is told through song and pantomime. The film was highly praised by audiences and critics for its unique (and somewhat retro) style of animation. It was an international co-production between companies in France, Belgium and Canada. The film satirically pokes fun at national stereotypes and clichés foreigners spread about French and Americans. It laughs at the stereotypes of the French (for example their alleged obsession with the Tour de France, or their so-called fondness for eating frogs)[citation needed] and Americans (for example their alleged obesity and lewd manner). The film features almost no spoken dialogue, though some spoken words (such as Tour de France radio commentary by Robert Chapatte and a speech by Charles de Gaulle on evening TV) are included sporadically.
