Sympathique
by wjw on February 8, 2019
I’ve been trying to work hard and mostly failing, so I might as well listen to Pink Martini and surrender to the mood.
The chorus is a riff off the French composer Poulenc, and translates as follows:
I don’t want to work
I don’t want to lunch
All I want is to forget
And I want to smoke
Except that I like lunch and don’t care for tobacco, that pretty much describes my present. In my current mood, I’ll settle for 50%.
“And *then* I smoke”, I think.
I loved the riff to Monty Python at 2:14. 🙂
