C'est La Vie - The Collection

Product Information

C’est La Vie was released as a single on the 25th of May in 1998 but seeds were sown 12 months earlier as the girl group made up of Sinead, Keavy, Edele and Lindsay were paired with a songwriting team by their label. Weeks later, while high on LSD the group completed the vocals, with the particularly potent trip providing the inspiration for the song’s much celebrated video. We had tried to distract the girls with more prostitutes, but they had grown tired of the music industry when they realised how much money they could make from selling heroin,” Richie Stern, the band’s manager at the time revealed.

To relieve further tension the band were whisked away to four separate recording studios in Japan, South Africa, Argentina and Russia. It's catchy as all get-out, has a chorus that lingers like poison ivy, and adds unlimited spoonfuls of zip spin after spin.Much to my surprise B*Witched are still together having reformed in 2012, and spend most of 2017 touring Australia. if you know song lyric, that isn’t already on moodpoint lyrics directory, please use "Add Lyrics" to submit it.

Both Leiber and Stoller claimed the lyrics to be their Mona Lisa, even surpassing their iconic Stand By Me but they fought intensely with the band during initial recordings when the band ad-libbed “I fight like me da as well”. C’est La Vie went on to sell 47 million copies in Ireland alone on its first day of release and the song went on to win a Grammy for Best Use Of An Irish Dancing Breakdown Section In A Video. Their record label reached a compromise with the band: if the record label could help the girls import 40 kilos of heroin into Amsterdam, paving the way for dominance of the European heroin trade, they would finish their vocals in a studio there.The music video for the song was directed by Alison Murray, who later also directed the UK video for " Rollercoaster". Leiber and Stoller worked 20 hour days trying to put words to the vision, while the girls spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on Nashville’s finest male escorts to take the edge off the huge expectations the record label had placed on them. WHAT is often referred to as ‘Ireland’s Greatest Song’ C’est La Vie, sung by girl group B*Witched is fondly remembered by almost all of the country, but very little is known about the troubled writing and recording of the quintessential pop song of our times, that is, until now. A dog is introduced into the clip next to one of the girls and the quartet then begin dancing and singing to a teenage boy in a treehouse. Management had to break up a particularly violent fight, which saw Stoller lose a leg and an eye after he protested that the line went against the overtly pacifist ideals of the song.

If you know some new information about Cest La Vie, or other song from our site, that isn’t already on song page, please let us know, Any refinement, news, or comment is appreciated. In a perfect world, this dancey helping of youth-oriented pop would have no problem conquering the States with its giddy melody and squeaky-clean teenage vocals, but sadly, top 40 has again entered one of those periods during which it shuns most any uptempo track that might be considered plain and simple fun. Decamping to Nashville for 2 months of intensive writing the girl group shared their vision for a song that summed up their artistic ennui, and their view that life, an enchanting and fleeting dance, contained infinitesimal nuances that we could rarely grasp. The girls then tie the boy to a tree and the dog chases toward him before he is bombarded with lipstick kiss marks all over his face. Let's take a look back and examine what exactly was going on in the music video for the teen pop hit.You'll definitely remember their big hit C'est La Vie, which topped the charts in Ireland and the UK. The final days of the music industry’s irresponsible overspending and largesse saw the band record one line of vocal for each verse, then flying in a private jet to the different recording studios, rotating until the recording was finished. C'est la Vie" debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart on 31 May 1998 and remained at the top the following week.
