Japanese technopop music video of a French sixties tune

Lisa Katayama 11:05 am Tue Sep 2, 2008

As a tribute to sixties pop star Claude François (he wrote the original tune for Sinatra's My Way and many other mega-hits in France), quirky Japanese musician Kenzo Saeki made this funky remix of Lundi au Soleil. It's actually part of a collaborative album dedicated to the French heartthrob–and commissioned by a French record label–called Clo Clo Made in Japan.

You can see François' original version of Le Lundi au Soleil here. As far as I can tell, Saeki didn't change the words much, he just added some beats and made an awesome video to go with it.
