Two comments:

!. I love to hear her sing in French and
2. That second video would get banned in the US, haha!

[teeder]

I wonder, what words would you type into a search that would bring up that second video?

[sowhat]

"Chante, danse, Baby Pop, comme si demain, Baby Pop, au petit matin, Baby Pop, tu allais mourir"... France had quite a few good songs, imho. These clips are way too cool.
(and sometimes a lollipop is just a lollipop...)

I read a little about her after watching the clips, I guess she was duped into doing that song and video, she was only 18 years old and it almost ruined her career. Their are a lot of videos in youtube of her, apparently she was very famous in Europe and was very beautiful also. I was transfixed by some of her stuff, her voice, delivery and looks, she had it all. She retired from performing about 10 years ago I surmise.

"Chick Habit" is also enjoying some new life as being the song that ended the Grindhouse film that Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino released in April. It's the song over the credits of the recently released Grindhouse Presents: Deathproof DVD. Great song and the album that it's off of is very cool.

Love that song!

April March Chick Habit Lyrics:

hang up the chick habit
hang it up, daddy,
or you'll be alone in a quick
hang up the chick habit
hang it up, daddy,
or you'll never get another fix

i'm telling you it's not a trick
pay attention, don't be thick
or you're liable to get licked

you're gonna see the reason why
when they're spitting in your eye
they'll be spitting in your eye

hang up the chick habit
hang it up, daddy,
a girl's not a tonic or a pill
hang up the chick habit
hang it up, daddy,
you're just jonesing for a spill

oh, how your bubble's gonna burst
when you meet another nurse
she'll be driving in a hearse

you're gonna need a heap of glue
when they all catch up with you
and they cut you up in two

now your ears are ringing
the birds have stopped their singing
everything is turning grey

no candy in your till
no cutie left to thrill
you're alone on a tuesday

hang up the chick habit
hang it up, daddy,
or you'll be alone in a quick
hang up the chick habit
hang it up, daddy,
or you'll never get another fix

i'm telling you it's not a trick
pay attention, don't be thick
or you're liable to get licked

you're gonna see the reason why
when they're spitting in your eye
they'll be spitting in your eye
