It's an ad for Target.....and it comes on all the time here. I'm constantly singing that song in my head. I didn't know it was about plucking a chicken, though!

Actually it's a lark they're plucking...which I guess were kind of tasty small game birds in Europe (I've never had one, but was at a restaurant in England about 12yrs ago that sold them)
I'm wondering why PETA hasnt started protesting Target for using a song about plucking larks and eating them...and also because the song is really really annoying!

It's about plucking a lark just as we used to, or some of us, pluck a chicken, a turkey, duck, pheasant, etc. in the United States. It really isn't a mean song. But I do not understand why Target is using it.

One of the blessings of having a husband who mutes the commercials.

They're probably using it because it does kind of fit all the bright colors they use in the commercial. Not the actual words of the song so much, but for people who dont speak French (I dont), it does sound like it's a happy song. Bright colors tend to make people happy, and so does shopping. (so does eating...not sure if eating larks would make me happy tho.)
and if you use the English version of the song, it's just a love song. (different words, set to the same melody, technically not the same song) "If you love me, tell me that you love me. If you don't, please tell me that you do. If you love me, tell me that you love me. If you don't, please tell me that you do. Do do do, love me true Oh oh oh oh "

Alouette, gentille Alouette
Alouette je te plumerai Alouette, gentille Alouette Alouette je te plumerai Je te plumerai la tęte Je te plumerai la tęte Et la tęte, et la tęte Alouette, Alouette If I remember my high school French: Alouette, kind (nice, friendly) Alouette Alouette, I'm going to pluck you Repeat I'm going to pluck the head I'm going to pluck the head And the head, and the head Alouette.... As the song continues you change the body parts that are plucked. It is a kid's song. |
