I was never much of a fan of Cloclo. But I rather enjoyed the new version, and it had wonderfully clear enunciation.

I got 24 out of 25 the other day on a quiz in Le Monde about "mistakes not to make in your bac lettres", and I'd have picked up the odd mistake I did make if I'd re-read my script as you're meant to do. I suppose I had been taught some of the rules fifty years ago, but I think you only remember them if you've seen them done right lots of times in the interim. Or watched them done right on You-Tube videos lots of times.

Well, admittedly he had a rather cheesy public image, but he wrote some good songs - not least "Comme D'Habitude", the original version of "My Way", and to my mind a far superior song.

Yes indeed. Strange that such different songs were written to the same tune. Though Brenda Lee's "As Usual" is as good as either.
