You are the coolest couple on MacNN. Welcome!

Firefox crashed two times trying to wtach Helene's. Can't get it to run.

Besides that: Switch ad spoofs are so 2004ish.

I applaud your efforts, that's about all.

[Rob Mayol]

Thank you very much y'all !!! I hope you did understand everything because our accent is far from perfect

@turtle : We are French so these ads did not pass here... We didn't know how old they were but, whatever, great things last forever ! Try to dowload them directly by hitting the "alt" key and while clicking the link.

A Tribe Called Quest: Luck Of Lucien

Verse 1: Q-Tip

Brother, brother, brother, Lucien, you're like no other.
Listen very close 'cause I don't like to boast.
Instead, I'll tell the tale of a French who prevailed
Through the Mr. Crazy Rabbits who were always on his tail.
? on sale, your rumour starts to wail.
Get caught with stolen goods and you will go to jail.
If you go to jail, then who will pay the bail?
They'll put you back to France on a ship with a sail.
Escargot, Lucien, you eat snails.
(Hey yo Tip, what's wrong with snails?)
From the Zulu nation, from a town called Paris,
Came to America to find liberty.
Instead of finding pleasure, all you found was misery,
But listen, Lucien, you have a friend in me.
Oh, luck luck will drive you butt baddy.
Next time you get some wheels, make it a Caddy.
In terms of doing good, I know you wish you really could,
But listen, brother man, I really think you can.
Succeed with the breed of the brothers on your back.
It's the creme de la creme, and you can bounce with that.
It'll take a minute, ?rice?, so take my advice.
Trust in us, and thus you trust in your life.
Lucine, Lucien, Lucien, Lucien.
You should know!

Verse 2: Q-Tip

Are you ready, Lu?
This one is for you,
Comin' from a true-blue, fits like a shoe.
? or "Commenet-allez-vous"?
Lucien, I'll leave it up to you.
Voulez vous (vous).
Rendez-vous (vous).
Coo-coo (coo).
Les poo-poo (poo)
Watch that lass, gonna backlash fast.
Can you get a grip on the crackhead dip?
Sold you a paper bag, guess he saw you comin',
VCR from a neck-bone bummin',
$10 brother, he was hummin' and strummin',
Only had 20, he was livin' like ya slummin',
Gave him the money, well, I thought that was somethin',
Lookin' like a kid who was lost in crumbin'.
Don't worry about a thing, I won't get specific.
This is a song that is long and prolific.
Think of the stuff that I said if you can.
Figure it out, compute, understnad.
No problemo, I'll help you with your demo
If you go to the store for me.
Lucien, I'm just kiddin'.
You should know!

Verse 3: Q-Tip

You gotta get a grip on the missions you'll be takin',
Not so much the mission, but you got crazy ignition.
Sure, the sugar-babies wanna give you a chance
With the French "savoir faire" and the sexy dance,
But is she really fly, or is she a guy?
I won't ask why, 'cause I know that you try.
You try too hard, is that the answer to the riddle?
Instead of doin' so much, why don't you do just a little?
Boy, what a cad, I guess we shouldn't treat him bad.
In fact, it would be nice if we understood him like
A case of positionin' the feet in the shoes,
Sympathetic reason in the case of the blues.
Lucien is blue, even though he's really brown.
I had to make the sound, his life is too profound.
On the up-and-up, he's somethin' like a little pup,
Young and naive, it's hard to believe.
As long as you're strong, you can quest with the questers,
Jolly like a jumping bean or a jester.
Lucien, Lucien, Lucien, Lucien.
You should know!

That's what the was for...joke, get it?

[helene]

Hey guys !

It's hard to me to write in english, so I hope you'll unterstand whatever my mistakes.
Well, thanks for your comments.

@ ratm : I havn't unterstand everything about Lucien ! I must read it more and more ! So...
It looks funny. It's an old song of the country ? In france we say "chanson paillarde", you know, it's when folks drink so much beer !
You know, Lucien is a name that no used since 1912 !!! Nobody named Lucien in France, exept my grand father !

Sorry if this ads are old, but in france we had only saw two apple ads on tv, for imac g3 and recently for ipods !!! It's just apple don't use advertising in france ! Mac is reserved for the most intelligent people !!!

bye bye !

[Ratm]

The luck of Lucien is a Rap song by an American group called A Tribe Called Quest. I'll find some place to host the mp3 so you guys can listen to it.

No one uses the name Lucien in France anymore? Too bad I really liked the name Lucien.
It's amazing you know so much about the name Lucien. Geeky girls are nice.




A Tribe Called Quest in French for you

[helene]

about the name of lucien : I said 1912 just like that ! That's what the was for...joke, get it?

[Ratm]

Here is the song The Luck of Lucien. Enjoy.

[Rob Mayol]

Hey ! Thank you Bigupload ! But isn't that illegal ? Yeah, tell us, how's the law in the U.S. ?
In France, forums are afraid of being closed so they don't wanna hear about mp3's or DivX's... Maybe downloading copyrighted stuff is gonna be legalized within some weeks here but...

So what about ya ?

[Ratm]

I <3 =

[Ratm]

Same here but they have to catch you first. I'll remove the link when you've download the song. Yeah I've read about the legalization in France and think it's great. I wish the U.S. would do the same but I guess we're going to have to wait a little while longer.

[helene]

downloaded it !

[Ratm]

Hope you two like the song. I'm going to bed. Good night!

[Rob Mayol]

same for me...

[Rob Mayol]

Good night (2:25pm here !) the song was great indeed!
