Customer Reviews:
Les Beatles - En Francais!.......2005-10-14
There was a reference on Star Trek at one point about the influence of William Shakespeare's plays - you couldn't fully appreciate a play like "Hamlet" until you read the "original" Klingon version.
Which is a bit like listening to Beatles songs in French - to be fair, these versions keep the Beatles music, song structures, etc. If you know the Beatles songs, no problem here, just the lyrics are all different. (except for "Michelle", of course, some of which was already in French...)
A couple of things get changed in translation - for example, the song "Girl" has the French title of "Je l'aime" which means "I like it." Hmmmm.....I guess "Fille" wasn't as catchy. "You Won't See Me" becomes "Je veux savoir", which means "I want to know". And "With a Little Help From My Friends" becomes "Soldat de Bois", which means "wood soldier"....huh?
I guess this would be a great album if you speak only French, or a little French, or want to learn French... good for French class sing-alongs, I guess.
This is essentially a compilation of French (or French Canadian) acts covering Beatles material during the 1960's, when almost everyone was hitching their wagons to the Fab Four's star by singing their music. The final track is from a 2003 WWF benefit album.
Note: this album ships in a double-CD case, but it is NOT a double album. The extra space is needed for a book of photos from a Beatles concert in Montreal in 1964.
