Je Suis Jalouse – Steamy French Music Video

X2BEhk1fqZo

Thanks so much to Mr Payphone for pointing out the lovely music video above. For the song Je Suis Jalous (I Am Jealous) by Emily Loizeau, it shows an amusingly wicked tale involving a happy steam(punk?) fairground couple, and the retro-futurist, electric rocket sporting ‘other woman’. Such good fun!

I’d recommend the above, non-subtitled version for watching the lovely video, but should you want the somewhat distracting English subtitled version, it can be found here. Greatly appreciated, Mr Payphone!

Now you mention it, Exactoknife, there is a resemblance there. Either way, it's a gorgeous video.

Is it just me or does the vocalist look like Parker Posey?

Moral: If you are jealous, just blow the other person up.

Alas, my French is so terrible that I keep thinking she's saying something about blancmange during the chorus. Worse still, I rather like it that way.

That is simply beautiful. Though far from fluent, I have just enough from French classes some...*breaks out an abacus and toes* *and fingers* 18 or 19ish years ago to enjoy this little gem without subtitles. The video is priceless.....a couple living in coal/crank powered roundabout? Classic, pure and simple. Not to mention the bomp bomp backbeat sounds truly low-scale industrial.
