SAGE (COMME UNE IMAGE) (1980) -- LIO

This is my comment in Girish Shambu’s blog:

--My favorite pop song of 1980s is O SUPERMAN (1981) by Laurie Anderson. (I’m not sure if it should be called a pop song or not, but at least it reached number two on the pop chart of UK.)

I also like its new version--OH SUPERMAN (2005) by M.A.N.D.Y. vs. Booka Shade featuring Laurie Anderson

--Talking about Chaka Khan, I love her scene the most in the documentary STANDING IN THE SHADOW OF MOTOWN (2002, Paul Justman).

--My most favorite Deborah Harry’s song is END OF THE RUN in the album DEF, DUMB AND BLONDE (1989). I also like her in the TV series WISEGUY (1987-1990), but she appeared late in the series.

--If I don’t remember it wrongly, there’s a scene featuring a music video of Les Rita Mitsouko in THE WITNESSESS (2007, Andre Techine), which successfully captures the atmosphere of the 1980s.

--My favorite 1980s French songs include SAGE (COMME UNE IMAGE) (1980) by LIO.
