The Arcade Fire - Poupée de cire, poupée de son

(Tour Split 7” 2007)

I heard this song on my friend Tony’s Muxtape the other day and instantly fell in love. I’m a sucker for songs in French, I guess.

This is a cover… the original was written/ performed in 1965 for the Eurovision Song Contest by a Luxembourg native. It won first place.

The Arcade Fire released it as a promo split 7” with LCD Soundsystem in conjunction with the Neon Bible Tour.

Belle and Sebastian have also covered this song as well. I want to get my hands on that, too!

Enjoy!
