My friend Akua showed me this video from Flight of the Conchords and I instantly fell in love with it. After my impromptu French immersion last weekend I have not been able to get it out of my head. It is hilarious and has the comedy duo singing a nonsenical song with the few French words that they know thrown together at random.
I have described or showed it to several friends (including my French friend Claire who laughed hysterically at it) and I have been promising them all that I would send them the link. I’ll do them one better: I’ll post it here.
Honestly, I would love to learn French. I think that it is an awesome language. But first things first; I gotta learn Mandarin.

Flight of the Conchords was probably the funniest show in the universe when it was on.
While it is without the Frenchiness of the above version — “Je voudrait un croissant!” — it definitely will get you over any lingering relationship issues you might have.
