Karaoke Biarritz

Renu - How could we pass through another country without doing karaoke! Nathan 'wowed' the audience with Madonna's 'Material Girl'. The karaoke host (male) was trying hard to pick Nathan up - he was very disappointed when he realised I was his wife!




Nathan - What can I say, as Spearhead says "everyone deserves music, sweet music" and that night everyone got their just desserts. Notice the look of fear in my face; if you knew that you sounded that bad, you'd be afraid too, very afraid!
Renu - And I drew the short straw and had to sing in French 'Tout le bonheur du monde' - it was tres difficile!! But I then backed up with a rendition of 'Call me' with Sandrine (our french teacher) which won many accolades (bien sur) and free tickets to our next destination - a Biarritz nightclub...... (we returned home at about 5am, I was a very bad student the next day in french class - but it was ok because I was partying with the teacher - yay!).
In the photo below you will see Daniel from Texas (Hi Daniel! Are you a spy? We think you are way too calm all the time. How did you go with the rest of the course?), Friend of Sandrine, Sandrine (our french teacher) and the best singer/entertainer on the planet, moi!
Nathan - I think it's only fair if you teach someone a song in French, then you take them drinking and sing it with them in a Karaoke bar - and that's what Sandrine did! We also learnt a Yanik Noah song in class AUSTRALIANS; can you believe Yanik Noah is a doped out famous French singer now and not a bad one at that. Unfortunately we couldn't find that one to sing as well.
A note for travellers - When a French person ie. SANDRINE asks you what is under the Scotsmen's kilts at the next table, don't tell them/her. She will not only lift the kilts to make sure (and believe me it's as bad as you think), she will also repeat the offense if her friend (middle in photo above) had missed it!!!! Lucky for us the Scots are a proud breed:) and we lived to tell the tale. Sandrine; we've heard of boys lifting girls skirts but its not meant to be the other way around - Only in Biarritz.
