excellent Marc Marc, I really like what you did and added to Michael's original. It comes off very well. The lyrics are great, a twist on "Lovely Rita Meter Maid". |

I love it and the last line settles the story once and for all. Great voice, and the perfect story for the musical bed...er...pavement. |

woo! Only your rich voice could make a song about a meter maid sultry and cool! You and michael's song were made for each other. Michael, your composing impresses me more each time. Marc, you are such a poet. Special, special subject matter. (I've gotten a couple of parking tickets in my lifetime) 8p |

Elle est tres jolie, non? Sorry my French is horrible. Awesome vocal to match an awesome instrumental track. Those keys are crazy good! Great writing on a subject close to my heart;-). You can't fight it, but there is poetry in her motion. Cheers, Joe |

This is cool. Lovely Rita? The words you wrote fit nicely with the music and create an overall image in my mind.I can see the street and the women you are describing. I like the vocal delivery a lot. It is very enjoyable. Regards |

this song is so well done, i feel like knowing how to speak french should be mandatory here. the production is no less than spectacular. i know alot of people are focused on the mixing and overall sound, and i think it is because the production makes the song have life. great post. fantastic skills. ~~ Allen Dean, MontCali, also, check me out on Allen Dean's page! |

Bravo to you and Michael2, you are really two artists, your singing is so good on this music and the instrumentation so right ! Thanks, downloaded. And it's ok, i pay attention where i park... |

Luckyday! I've had a crap day at work, so seeing that you two had done a collab really gave me a lift! This is great as I would expect from two talents like yourselves - wonderfully played and sung, sultry and sensuous. More please! steve |

gorgious I've already told Michael how much in love I was with the instru he posted some days ago.. and now there's the vocal one.. in French! very funny song theme you actually picked up eheheh. are we the only 2 french people here? great one! |

What a great humorous twist in this song, so subtle. I love the organ tone in this; just perfect and with that purring sound in the middle too. Such a Continental sound anyway, but with Marc's excellent vocal the atmosphere is sealed. It's nice to have the translation, but I think the French language helps make this song as good as it is and carries it along nicely. Wonderful stuff, regards M |

Great story... ...set to a great groove... Very funny, and I'm having a blast imagining the sultry video... Shot in black in white... Maybe with subtitles... Ed |

This great - what an excellent collab your vocals are wonderful and the story really works with Michael's music. |

Melody Nelson the meter maid! Great track...very strong Serge Gainsbourg feel to this which is of course a very good thing. Super stuff Steve |
 | cjdaley said 336 days ago |

well done Gainsbourg hommage. Michael's music is great (the organ is awesome) and you've really used its 70s sultriness to best effect with these witty lyrics. |

serge... euh... marc je veux dire. Splendid track. You're growing growing growing... what a mood. Much enjoyed the lyrics as well: "puis elle decroche un fascicule qu'elle remplit l'encre noire"... marvelous metaphor:-) -Walt |

I don't know what it all means, but the sounds are nice to. For some reason I am thinking Peter Sellers and the Pink Panther, Just has a detective feel to me. But anyway Thanks for sharing, like the organ and how it gets a funky sound and mixes in nicely with the French voicing. |

French always sounds so.....je ne sais quoi Cool tune. Very groovy instrumental part and the vocals are executed perfectly. |

Serge Gainsbourg Lives Ok. I don't need to ask if you know who he is because you are channeling his spirit. And I don't mean that you copy him. You match him. What does he like for breakfast? Absolutely excellent. Loved it. |

Quelle collab bilingue! En francais (nul): C%u2019est cool, ca. J%u2019aime beacoup votre style, et les sons des instruments. Mais ce voix %u2013 c%u2019est super. Les paroles sont tres adroit %u2013 au dpart j%u2019ai cru que la chanson s'agit d'une pute, naturellement. Eng: cool song. I like your style and the sounds of the instruments. But that voice %u2013 fantastic. Clever lyrics too: of course I thought at first that the subject was a streetwalker. Une bonne collab! |

A very nice collaboration Love the music and the singing. Very smooth sound and your vocal delivery has that certain something that only the French can do. Other than that, I don't know how to describe it except that it is excellent. Michael2, I love the music bed you laid down here, it's such a subtle groove. Great piece man. Thanks to both of you for a fine listen. Ed |

Slinky Marc, you took a great piece of music and imagined such a wonderful story to go with it. Your lyrics are terrifically original and the performance, sublime. A meter maid! Who would have thought of that? Just terrific writing and "rapping". I liked the production, as well. Superb. |

Very good! I really like the combination of organ & bass. Of course the vocals remind me of Serge Gainsburg in the delivery. Yet there's a uniqueness to it. I'd wish I could understand all the lyrics. Love the atmosphere of strangeness. Very good song! B |

definite Serge vibe Getting a strong early '70s Serge Gainsbourg vibe, cross between "Histoire de Melody Nelson" and "Vu de l'extrieur." Would love to hear some jazz piano riffing over the fade, but already a very enjoyable performance. |

Robbie Robertson is French?? This is such a cool song. It really has a Robbie Robertson groove to it. Great song Marc!!!! |
