80's French Pop Rock

Watching one of my Mom's old VHS recordings of 80s MTV music videos, I came across two bands that really intrigued me. I had never heard of them before, but they both made a lasting impression on me.

One of those bands is the wacky, weird French band, Les Rita Mitsouko. The band has primarily consisted of guitarist, Fred Chichin, and singer, Catherine Ringer. They play with some crazy genre bending stuff for a pop band. At times they sound like calypso or salsa, and at other times they sound like synth pop/new wave stuff.

However! The true key to this band is their captivating and whimsical music videos. The novelty of watching their music videos still hasn't worn off for me. I like to put on one of these bad boys on when I'm not at all sober.

Here's the video that hooked me.

And why not try another.
