Music Appreciation: Saint Etienne/Etienne Daho  

Posted at 6:22 pm in rivercityvibe

I discovered something I did not know today. This is rare in my life. Really rare (go on, test me). You see, I knew that classic indie band Saint Etienne were named partly in tribute to French eighties songster Etienne Daho (Wikipedia is wrong on this one, believe me), but I had no idea that their classic She’s on the phone was a direct lift from Daho’s 1984 classic Weekend a Rome. See for yourselves.

Etienne Daho first (featuring Seth Rotherham on his Vespa):

Now Saint Etienne (featuring Etienne Daho [Doh!]):

How could I not have known this. My European assets have failed me.

It’s uncanny.

  1. I have a friend, his buddy’s brother went out with Sarah Cracknell – do I win five dollars?

  2. I will give the Hog $5 if he will tell me who the “F” Sarah Cracksmell is.

  3. She is a hot singer, check her out at …http://members.tripod.com/~glamourpussspice/scapics.html

    As you can see I cleverly linked my comment to the post using the lead singer of the band mentioned in the post title.

    I can understand how this could have caused confusion and therefore will accept a greatly reduced prize of 4 dollars fifty cents..
