I've just realised it's one year since SpikedCandy was born, and though I didn't plan it, I'm posting a b&w France Gall clip, just like my first post. This is a cover of a song called 'Stand a Little Closer' which I haven't heard, but considering its lyrics are about a guy called Willie, I feel confident in saying this version is much better.

(I'm testing out embedding Flash video - let me know if there are any problems. If it's choppy try pressing pause and waiting a little while before pressing play again).

*Um no offense to anyone reading called Willie, although I'd hope you wouldn't go by that in some parts of the world. Anyway here's a sample of the English lyrics so you get an idea of why I'd imagine it to be quite corny:

When Willie took girls home
He'd stand at their door
Then he'd play it cool
Their lips he'd ignore
He knew if they'd listen
He would have his way
If you were near, really near
Here's what you'd hear him say...

    Those *can't* be the lyrics (in English)! I don't know what to make of that.. Very fab video, though - one can never have enough Mme.Gall in their life. Thanks for posting this!

      Thanks, Bruno. I'd like to avoid having the youtube logo on here as much as possible. I'm going to put an entry in my myspace blog soon about how to do the flash video (for free).
