C'est La Vie - The Collection

Product Information

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. if you know song lyric, that isn’t already on moodpoint lyrics directory, please use "Add Lyrics" to submit it. To relieve further tension the band were whisked away to four separate recording studios in Japan, South Africa, Argentina and Russia. 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. It's catchy as all get-out, has a chorus that lingers like poison ivy, and adds unlimited spoonfuls of zip spin after spin.

The song went to number nine on the US Billboard Hot 100 in the week of 17 April 1999 [5] [6] and number six on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart. Written by band members Edele Lynch, Keavy Lynch, Lindsay Armaou, and Sinéad O'Carroll, Ray "Madman" Hedges, Martin Brannigan and Tracy Ackerman, it was released by Epic and Glowworm Records on 25 May 1998.

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. 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”.

The chorus was then recorded in Vietnam, but the band became distracted by the local drug trade and became embroiled in a turf war with the leading supplier of heroin in the area.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. 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. That's a shame, given the growing profile of this personable Dublin-based female quartet and its fine self-titled debut album. The music video for the song was directed by Alison Murray, who later also directed the UK video for " Rollercoaster". 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.
