carlla.jpgFrench pop singer Carla Bruni has included a steamy ode to her new husband on her album Comme Si de Rien N’Etait, which was released in France this week and comes out in the U.S. next month. “Ta Tienne” has high-school-diary-worthy lines like “You’re my orgy” and “I am burning for you like a pagan woman,” lines which are elevated to semi-scandalous since Bruni’s husband is French president Nicholas Sarkozy. Another song on the album, the strummy “Ma Came,” has an “I love the cocaine” lyrical vibe that seems to have been borrowed from Buckcherry; imagine if she’d attended the G8 summit this week and our president had gotten wind of her lyrics? I’m already cringing at the awkward jokes he would have made about them. [Times Of London]

    Next love letter I write, I’m including “I’m burning for you like a pagan woman.” Fucking brilliant, Carla Bruni.

    Now imagine Laura Bush singing that.

    erhm. I believe that would be FFLILF *

    * French First Lady I’d Like…

    As a side note, I’m burning like a pagan woman for some Quizno’s and it’s only like 10:15. It’s just the way they toast that bread. It’s my orgy.

    Also, I’m moving to France. Bruni, FTW.

    @thakoolshooshinesoulchildrmx: Hah.

    Some thought her reliance on inherited wealth killed the song’s aspirational core, but I thought it was a pretty subversive twist. Plus, automatic win for rhyming “Got more clydesdales than Anheiser” with “Forget First Lady / In the sack I’m First Geyser.”

    Even if marriage gets her a passport/citizenship, I don’t think that makes her any less Italian.

    @WHAD1: But she sings in French! And “French pop” is definitely a genre that she plays in.
