So last month a friend of mine used his FaceBook status to ask for a copy of Peter Sarstedt’s single Frozen Orange Juice. I recognized the name and knew he sung the famous 1969 hit Where Do You Go To My Lovely, but wasn’t familiar with anything else he did and the Frozen Orange Juice sounded quite interesting. Now my download of Peter Sarstedt has finally finished and wow, what psychedelic, stoner tunes he produced back in the ’60s. With songs such as No More Lollipops, Many Coloured Semi Precious Plastic Easter Eggs, and Mary Jane, with lyrics such as “Well it’s a real good time that you get from Mary Jane”, just to name a few. What’s really great about his songs is that the music to these far-out lyrics is exactly the kind of ’60s groove tunes you would find backing up a car chase, or entering a hip jiving beach party in the ’60s. Very cool. I recommend you check him out.
I was surprised when I found photos of him though because from his only number one hit I mentioned earlier he sounds like a French crooner
During my tangential rummaging I found this on an Australian news site. Citroen have joined forces with GQ MAgazine to create what THEY claim to be the ultimate mens accessory. A “Mens only” car. It blends British military efficiency with clean French flair and was co-designed by the company that made Winston Churchill’s suits. Um, GQ, it a Citroen!
Citroen and “mens only” don’t quite fit together if yo ask me. It’s a Citroen! They would be better of making a Citroen hand bag for grandmas. I’m still on the fence about it’s looks. I can’t stop thinking that, it’s a citroen!! “We wanted that bespoke element that comes with Savile Row,” Mark Henderson of GQ Magazine wrote. Again, Savile Row, and a French brand??? Come on guys, that’s like getting The Queen to endorse Mr Foo Chong Ching’s noodle rice down the road. They just don’t mix. It’s more like traditional English elegance mixed with French plastic.
