For The Love of J.R.

Thanks to the miracle of pharmaceuticals, I’m beginning to feel better, but I’m still not full on me yet (It’s kind of like a printer when the ink cartridge needs to be changed. You can see the words on the page, but they don’t pop. That’s me right now, I’m not popping).
It’s a good time to do another Us vs. France post like theย English vs. French one I did last month, because I can lay back and let the videos talk for me (while Fifty doesn’t bring me tea, and I try to get Ruby on the phone… again. Ruby is always so busy what with his committees and brunches and such).

Television Theme song: America vs. France


American version…

{my ring tone sounds like this}

French version…

{WTF?!}

That’s plain wrong.ย 
France: 0, America: 1

bisou

  5. Glad to hear your feeling better. I had the same WTF moment when hearing the theme song for “the young and the Restless”, italian style. I may just have to do a post like this, you inspire me!

  7. The French version is hilarious! Why on earth did they decide to replace an epic theme song with that?

  8. I have to report that the baby liked both. He danced a bit more to the French version. Does that spell trouble for his future?I'm glad you're feeling better. Did you get the Dallas thing all the time in Ireland? bon weekend,Aidan

  12. OMG that is hoorrrriiibbbllleee. However, it did kind of make me giggle inside a bit with the way they pronouce “Dallas.” I mean, they could have at least gotten Serge Gainsborough to sing the opening, now HE could done that show credit! And PS – how awesome were 70s and 80s intros to sitcoms?! Thank you for reminding me!

  13. Wow. I had no idea that a theme song could change based on the country. Weird. Very weird.

  14. Ohhh…and…ewwww! That's hilarious! The funny thing is that it seems in half the conversations where I mention I'm American, someone always mentions Dallas..like it's some cultural icon, now I can see why ๐Ÿ™‚ thanks for sharing and making my Fri that much better…Hope you feel better soon & keep drinking that tea! xo

  16. Ohhh I have NOT laughed so hard over a blog post in a loooong time. You are so right, the French version is completely all wrong! (WTF indeed!) The original gives me chills a bit,,,reminds me of when I was a kid!Both have a disco-y sort of undertone, but the French song JUST doesn`t work!!!

  18. oh my goodness! Sara, I'm dying! I'm crying and laughing at the same time–crying because I'm homesick as hell (Dallas is my hometown and where my family lives) and laughing because honestly, W.T.Fยจ!?! Jean and I have so loved arguing over which country has the best intro. As a real live born and raised Texan, I call the trump card on this one! I wish there was a way to reblog like you can retweet! A.W.E.S.O.M.E. post.

  21. Egads, what a monstrous theme. The Dallas theme was a classic. Guess the french thought it sounded too American – wait, it WAS a show about Dallas, wasn't it?

  22. You have just given me the most perfect idea–I WANT A DALLAS RINGTONE!! (An American Dallas, that is, sheesh. Why change a good thing? What WERE THEY THINKING?!) Sorry. I'll stop shouting now. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  23. I felt my face scrunch as I heard the French version, and imagined a wall of faces with similar “WTF?” expressions. I've never watched an episode, but the (American) theme tune is burned into my brain from my childhood.
