Dear Friends and Schoolmates,
There cannot be
too many love songs in February, right?
BONUS - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8XQZYIiNgo - Peter Sarstedt - Where Do You Go To, My Lovely?
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Do_You_Go_To_%28My_Lovely%29%3F:
"Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)?" is a song that was written and performed by Peter Sarstedt. Its recording was produced by Ray Singer and engineered by John Mackswith at Lansdowne Recording Studios and released in 1969. It was a #1 hit in the UK charts for four weeks in 1969 and was awarded the 1969 Ivor Novello Award, together with David Bowie's "Space Oddity". In the United States, the record reached #61 on the Cash Box Top 100 Singles and #70 on the Billboard Hot 100 that May. The music is a faux European waltz tune.[1]
The song is about a fictional girl named Marie-Claire who grows up from the backstreets of Naples to become a member of the jet set, and lives in Paris. The lyrics describe her from the perspective of a childhood friend; it is left unclear whether they have remained close. The rhetorical question of the title suggests that her glamorous lifestyle may not have brought Marie-Claire happiness or contentment.
Sarstedt himself was not French, but the song may have benefited from the contemporary awareness in Britain of such singers as Serge Gainsbourg and Jacques Brel.
The lyrics contain a large number of contemporary and other references...
It is often suspected that the name Marie-Claire is inspired by the originally French Marie Claire magazine, a women's fashion weekly first published in 1937. One theory says that this song is about the Italian star Sophia Loren, who was abandoned by her father and had a poverty-stricken life in Naples.[citation needed] Another theory has the song being inspired by singer and actress Nina van Pallandt.[citation needed] In reality, Peter Sarstedt wrote the song about a girl he fell madly in love with in Vienna in 1965.[citation needed] She died in a hotel fire.[citation needed] The song was written in Copenhagen (confirmation of this fact can be found on the CD cover of The Best of Peter Sarstedt, EMI, nr. 8297622, Australian CD)...
In 2007, the song was prominently used in Wes Anderson's short film Hotel Chevalier. The film is a prologue to his movie The Darjeeling Limited, in which the song also appears..

The Great Flydini
An oldie but goodie ... still okay to laugh out loud. This was only performed once, on the Johnny Carson Show in 1992. It was a good thing they taped it, because it was never done again. Steve Martin, as The Great Flydini, doesn't say a word.

Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)
You talk like Marlene Dietrich
And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire
Your clothes are all made by Balmain
And there's diamonds
and pearls in your hair, yes, there are
And you live in a fancy apartment
Off the Boulevard of St. Michel
Where you keep your Rolling Stones records
And a friend of Sacha Distel, yes, you do
But where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
Well, I've seen all your qualifications
That you got from the Sorbonne
And the painting you stole from Picasso
Your loveliness goes on and on, yes, it does
And when you go on your summer vacation
You go to Juan-les-Pins
With your carefully designed topless swimsuit
You get an even suntan, on your back and on your legs
And when the snow falls you're found in St. Moritz
With the others of the jet-set
And you sip your Napoleon Brandy
But you never get your lips wet, no, you don't
But where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Won't you tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
Your name is heard in high places
You know the Aga Khan
And he sent you a racehorse for Christmas
And you keep it just for fun, for a laugh, ha-ha-ha-ha
And they say that when you get married
It'll be to a millionaire
Ah, but they don't realize where you came from
And I wonder if they really care, or give a damn
But where do you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
You better tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes, I do
Well, I remember the back streets of Naples
And two children begging in rags
Both touched with a burning ambition
To shake off their lowly brown tags, yes, they try
So look into my face, Marie-Claire
And remember just who you are
Then go and forget me forever
But I know you still bear
the scar, deep inside, yes, you do
I know where you go to, my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
I know the thoughts that surround you
'Cause I can look inside your head
