Despite the box office fizzle of the Tarantino/Rodriguez's
'Grindhouse' project, there has been quite a bit of buzz
surrounding April March's contribution to the Death Proof
soundtrack, "Chick Habit".
april march chick habit mp3 April March - Chick Habit
While the song has been around for a while, it has mostly flown
under the indie radar until now. Her music has actually been more
popular in France that in the U.S. Although born in California,
she developed an early love of France and even lived there
briefly, honing her French accent and 60s French pop/ye-ye skills
in the process. Her fascinating resume also includes involvement
in cartoons, including once being a lead animator for the Ren and
Stimpy Show.
"Chick Habit" is actually based on a song entitled "Laisse Tomber
Les Filles" by the late Serge Gainsbourg that was written to be
performed by France Gall. The original music video for France
Gall's version is here:

Tomber Les Filles (video).
You can here the French rendition by April March (which sounds
nearly identical in arrangemnt to her translated American version)

"Laisse Tomber Les Filles" seems to be a popular cover selection
in France, as it was also performed by singer and former Miss
France (and Shannon Elizabeth look-alike) Mareva Galanter: mareva

Tomber les Filles (video), among others.
