French Lessons with Alizee OR It's a Youpidou weekend

Youpidou...means, er, uh...
Let's take a look at a translation of the song...and it has Youpidou as...Youpidou? Hmm

Well, OK, let's see what the English version has...Youpidoo? That's not much better.

How about our old friend Wikipedia...just has it listed as a song.
So here we go...type in youpi

"Youpi is the French word equivalent for Yahoo! or Yippee!" .

the dou is just and extra at the end, something like Bruce Willis did in Die Hard saying Yippie kay yea (various spellings because it is not a real word either)

I get a kick out of the equivalent for Yahoo. Yahoo again. Now Alizee is singing a Yahoo song, has a purple chair!!! What is going on?

Since it is going to be a Youpidou weekend let's let Alizee sing the whole song.(2004)


This is one of those songs that at first I did not listen to, now I get a kick out of it.
