When life's kicking your butt, how about a theme song? [11] Foreign language time!

Did November sneak up on anyone else? The year is almost over and I haven't been the most productive author girl. But the kids are good and I'm loving my job and it's fall! So it's all good. I've been wanting to do a foreign language song theme for a while now and here it is! I'm cheating and doing a runner up just so I can have two songs. hehe
I fell in love with Via Con Me by Paolo Conte from the French Kiss soundtrack.


And I just had to include "I Love You for Sentimental Reasons" by Karl Zero from the X-Files episode titled "Improbable" guest starring Burt Reynolds. It's one of my favorites!


How about you all? Are there any songs you love that you try to sing along to even though you have no clue what the words are?

  1. I liked Via Con Me, too! I'd forgotten about French Kiss. I have to admit to not having heard Karl Zero's rendition of I Love You for Sentimental Reasons though. But I liked it too. I hope you enjoyed your first weekend of November, girlie! I can't believe it's November either. Berk's b-day is in 16 days!! Ugh! But November is gonna be good...we've got a plan! ;) *BEAR HUGS & LOVE*

    1. French Kiss was such a great movie! I can't believe I don't have the soundtrack. Karl Zero is pretty fun. I listened to other songs on that album and they are a lot of fun.

      Happy Birthday to Berk! What crazy cake are yo going to make? We do have a plan, dangit!

      Bear hugs and love right back at you!!!

  2. I may have had a difficult time with this one, but I've enjoyed everyone's choices a lot. I loved French Kiss :D Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.

    1. I'm having the hardest time with this month's sidekick showcase. Bearded? The world of man has gone the way of the beard and I just can't think!

      I like the choice you came up with. Brought me back, I tell you.

  3. Singing along is a must... I don't listen to a lot of music in languages I don't speak, so I can't really share a personal story.
    My kids totally sing along to English songs, though and the two youngest don't speak English yet. They mangle things up spectacularly, but stay in rhythm while doing it - so it makes for really good times :)
    Thanks for sharing, Robyn.

    1. I love that the youngest ones mangle things up spectacularly! That made me smile. I am terrible with languages, so that's my norm. Though in my head, I speak Spanish perfectly!

      I hope you have a fabulous week, Lexxie!!

      Oh, I just picked up Talon at the library. Yay!!

  4. I love November! It's my birthday month that's why, but it's a beautiful month too! The winter is coming, but has not yet arrived and the leaves are brown and oh, I love brown!

    Via Con Me is a great song, indeed.
    Have a great month, Robyn!

    1. Oh, Happy Birthday Athina!!! I love fall too. I'm a brown girl too, but give me the colors. I'm nutty for the oranges and reds, oh and the yellows. My boys can't wait to rake leaves.

      I hope you have a fantastic birthday month!!

  5. Yes I totally agree!! It feels like just yesterday that my semester was starting, and now it's November! ;)

    I love to listen to foreign songs, esp. Kpop and Japanese osts. I *try* to sing along to them, but only when I'm home alone, and no one can hear me LOL.

    Thanks for sharing! I really enjoyed both of them! I hope you have a wonderful weekend. :D

    1. Oh, I love Kpop too! I only know them from Laura at Laura Plus Books. I'll have to do another foreign language theme. I don't sing along though because I think angels would fall from heaven screaming. It would not be pretty.

      I hope you have a great weekend too!!!
