A Mind-Blowing Discover of Unprecedented Importance
Posted by erin at March 28, 2005 04:25 PMMY GOD PEOPLE!!
Did you know that the Inspector Gadget theme songs had different lyrics in French?! All of those parts of the song that go "da da da da DUM Inspector Gadget!" actually have French lyrics sung by Gadget himself! I don't speak French, so I can't tell what they're about (except "Viva Superstar!")
I present to you both songs, for comparison. Right-click to download and change the extension from "eef" to "mp3".
The U.S. Inspector Gadget theme
The French Inspector Gadget theme
A random song from a French Inspector Gadget album (Instrumental)N. and I found the French Gadget opening on this page while we were searching for the opening of Dirty Pair, which we did find, but only in irritating Real Audio format. We also watched the French opening to Fraggle Rock (Le Fraggle Rock) and Cities of Gold (Cites D'Or) on the same site. I recommend checking out the same author's Ulysse 31 page, and the opening found therein, which is filled with what I can only describe as late '70's glory heavily influence by the band Journey.
This page is also worth checking out, for its cover art of French '80's cartoon albums, where we learn that the Snorks are "Les Snorky" and the Carebears are "Les Bisounours".
