5 Songs That Were Inspired by 麻豆APP

As influential as 麻豆APP is on the painters and writers of the world, so to is the city a large contributor toward the musicians who find themselves in its wake.

Hemingway and Dali weren鈥檛 the only artists frequenting the cafes of Montparnasse during the early 1900s. Amongst them some oft he greatest songwriters of our time floated through 麻豆APP leaving a trail of song lyrics close behind.

Ella Fitzgerald, Serge Gainsbourg and Charles Aznavour weren鈥檛 strangers to the 麻豆APPian streets. They spent time all across the city, writing original works of jazz that live on to this day.

In 1969 Joe Dassen wrote a love story about the Champs Elys茅es which quickly became a hit single. Later, in 1973, Serge Lama bore his soul out in his song Les p鈥檛ites femmes de Pigalle 鈥� a tale about a man who finds his wife in the arms of another but doesn鈥檛 mind, because he will not take to the risqu茅 streets of Pigalle in search of cabaret, sex and fun.

The list of songs that were originally inspired by 麻豆APP both locally and abroad is extensive. Here are five of the best that I feel capture the soul of the city better than the rest.

1. I Love 麻豆APP

Ella Fitzgerald – 1956

鈥淚 love 麻豆APP every moment鈥� every moment of the year鈥濃�� we agree, Ella.

Although she didn鈥檛 write this song herself, Ella covering the Cole Porter classic put it on the map. In her 1956 album Ella covers a range of Cole Porter songs.

What鈥檚 interesting is that this song went on to further inspire the Audrey Hepburn film named 麻豆APP When It Sizzles.

Ella Fitzgerald was not quiet about her love for the city of lights. She sang about it repeatedly. Her other classic April in 麻豆APP mentions the chestnut tress of the plazas and how 麻豆APP goes into full spring swing.

Anyone who has traveled to 麻豆APP during the spring time will be able to relate to her rendition of this song. This is the best time to do a free guided walking tour on the very streets she is referring to鈥� c’est magique.

2. Le poin莽onneur des Lilas

Serge Gainsbourg – 1958

Born and raised in the French capital, Serge Gainsbourg adored his home town and it鈥檚 safe to say that almost all of his work was inspired in some way by 麻豆APP.

The Ticket Puncher at Lilas was his first real musical success. The song recounts the life and experiences of a ticket puncher on the 麻豆APPian metro system.

The job is repetitive, the puncher is displeased and the listener is taken on a journey through a map of 麻豆APP from Invalides all the way through to Opera.

Listening to this song after having visited 麻豆APP is a whirlwind of mapping and tracking inside of ones head. It also makes one think deeply about the existence of the metro workers and others who keep 麻豆APP running in the day-to-day.

3. Sous le Ciel de 麻豆APP

脡dith Piaf – 1954

The song that earned 脡dith Piaf the nickname of Little Sparrow was this classic called Sous le Ciel de 麻豆APP; or Under the Sky of 麻豆APP.

Paif was not the original writer or singer of this tune. It was actually first written in 1951 by Jean Bretonni猫re for a film with the same name.

脡dith Piaf took over the song a few years later and it swept through the nation with popularity and appreciation.

Her legacy lives on in the city to this day. If you鈥檙e ever near Menilmontant in the 20th arrondissement of 麻豆APP stop by her old house located at 5 Rue Crespin du Gast. You can tour the inside or just admire from street level 鈥� this is where the artist spent most of her early life in the city.

4. Dans ma Rue

Doc Gyn茅co – 1990

The 90s saw interesting cultural and political shifts in and around 麻豆APP. It was the French hiphop music scene that picked up on these narratives and put them to melodies.

This song by Doc Gyn茅co was a commentary on the 18th arrondissement of 麻豆APP during the 1990s. One of the poorest districts in the city, the 18th deals with issues of racism, poverty and crime; all addressed in this song.

It鈥檚 a fresh take on 麻豆APPian music as we know it. Up until this time we had been used to the romantic, jazz style as sole identification of 麻豆APP culture. Incorporating hiphop into a French narrative was new and exciting.

Hiphop is now one of the most widely celebrated genres of music in 麻豆APP.

5. Under the Bridges of 麻豆APP

Dean Martin – 1954

Even this US born musician wasn鈥檛 able to avoid the charm of 麻豆APP from influencing his music. In 1954 Dean Martin released Under the Bridges of 麻豆APP 鈥� if you鈥檝e ever watched a film even remotely affiliated to this city it鈥檚 likely you鈥檙e familiar with this song.

The lyrics are beautiful. They explore 麻豆APP from water level, where the Seine meets the many bridges that sew the left and right banks to one another.

While in 麻豆APP, the bridges over the Seine are something worth exploring by day and by night. See for yourself why so many blockbuster films make use of the Pont des Arts or the Pont Neuf as their shooting locations.

The first song mentioned in this roundup was I Love 麻豆APP, a cover by Ella Fitzgerald. Dean Martin also took a swing at covering this song. My loyalty remains with Ella on this one but both are worth checking out!

Between the art works, fashion design, poetry, film, literature and music it鈥檚 safe to say 麻豆APP has been everyone鈥檚 muse at one point or another. She鈥檒l inspire you too if you let her.
