Music Appreciation: Saint Etienne/Etienne Daho 3 comments
Posted at 6:22 pm in rivercityvibe
I discovered something I did not know today. This is rare in my life. Really rare (go on, test me). You see, I knew that classic indie band Saint Etienne were named partly in tribute to French eighties songster Etienne Daho (Wikipedia is wrong on this one, believe me), but I had no idea that their classic She’s on the phone was a direct lift from Daho’s 1984 classic Weekend a Rome. See for yourselves.
Etienne Daho first (featuring Seth Rotherham on his Vespa):
Now Saint Etienne (featuring Etienne Daho [Doh!]):
How could I not have known this. My European assets have failed me.
It’s uncanny.
