Hey ppl, I`m now just too tired to find you a decent link for downloading this, and I couldn`t find the lyrics, although I would have liked to put them down here just to make you smile...But; I`m telling you, get this song into your hands. I just heard it for the first time, and it`s just so amusing. What a great song! ;D

(definete must-have if you like perfumes and good pop-music) ;D

At last I found a site where I could download the mp3 from:

http://somuchsilence.blogspot.com/20...s-perfume.html

What a great song! I must go for the album immediately! It's a pity I couldn't find the lyrics, but I bet even Basenoters who (like me) can't understand English very well should not have much problems understanding the names of the perfumes. Definitely the funniest way to learn how they are pronounced! ;D

Enjoy!

Gawd! I had TOTALLY forgotten about the brothers Mael. I adored Sparks in the 70's. So glad to see they are still here...

"Pineapple, fulfills every need!"

Indeed.

"Perfume" equals "Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth" and "When do I get to sing "My Way"".

Such a great, eccentric pair of brothers.

Ooooh! I love them. I also love the song of blackbirds, strong coffee and Les Rita Mitsouko.

There may be mistakes with the names, especially the ones with a ""? on them. Â*also, some of the names of the girls were hard to distinguish. Â*Feel free to spot any corrections, Im sure people would appreciate that. Â*Thanks again for the song.

Corrections:

"Lorraine" = Lauren
"Sandralon" = St. Laurent
"Aramis" = Hermes
"Arpeiche" = Arpege
"No. 9" = Helmut Lang
"Gargafeld" = Lagerfeld

Then I think they are all correct.

Mic.

Patricia wears #5 !!! I spent a year in Atlanta with a roommate that didn't wear perfume. That year I bought an Ounce of #5 Parfum. The ironing board was in my room, and I had a rose linen water in it for steam. I had Ralph Lauren Blue, #5 and #22, and Paris. Things hanging in the closet mixed all four. She thought my room smelled so good!
