DogFox123 1,379 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 When I was younger I always thought he was a French man singing that song. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbriar 8,569 Posted January 8, 2017 Report Share Posted January 8, 2017 Surely one of the most evocative opening verses ever written ! "You talk like Marlene Dietrich, And you dance like Zizi Jeanmaire. Your clothes are all made by Belmain, And there diamonds and pearls in your hair." Just beautiful...... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
