Here are a few of the odd songs I've heard in the main public metro station (Place Bellecour)
"Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye
"Sex Machine" by James Brown
and "You Sexy Mo**er F***er" by Prince
It's very strange to hear these rather explicit "odes to love" in a big public metro station as your making your way through a massive throng of impeccably dressed, mostly young French people (and yes I'm sure that 99% of the people there understand the English perfectly well) There's something both kind of surreal and yet relaxed and natural about it. It makes me smile every time.
