Music parody champion Weird Al is celebrated for his wit and ability to imitate songs in both a funny and clever way. The only problem is il ne chante pas en fran\u00e7ais<\/strong> (he doesn\u2019t sing in French)!<\/p>\n

Heureusement<\/strong> (luckily), there is un groupe fran\u00e7ais<\/strong> (a French group) that nicely fills the music comedy niche! Oldelaf et Monsieur D<\/em> is a comedic music group that uses music to make jokes. Le groupe<\/strong> often imitates different music styles, combining the styles with jokes in les paroles<\/strong> (the lyrics).<\/p>\n

The first song I heard from Oldelaf et Monsieur D<\/em> is Le Caf\u00e9<\/em>. Une chanson marrante<\/strong> (a funny song) about a coffee-addicted Parisian. La chanson starts out as a normal day, but quikly spins out of control when le Parisien has trouble controlling both his life and his need for un caf\u00e9<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Check out the song and listen to some of their other songs to practice your French! A good laugh makes studying easier!<\/p>\n
