ooh la la
Topic: Pink Martini
You know every time that Tresemme commercial comes on, and the French woman tosses her hair lustily, while ooh la la music is playing in the background? That's kind of like Pink Martini. Part cocktail lounge, part love affair, part sexy language and demeanor. That's why the ensemble can appeal to such a wide variety of people.

Their debut album, Sympathique, came out in 1997. It has sold more than 650,000 copies worldwide, and has been used in various soundtracks such as The Sopranos and Josie & The Pussycats.

Speaking of international, Sympathique is a blend of Spanish, French, English, and Italian. Think of buying the album as a lesson in languages.

Sympathique is easily the standout track, and the one which makes me recall that Tresemme commecial so strongly.

They've also released a sophomore album, Hang On Little Tomato. You can read more about Pink Martini on the official site, and buy the records on Amazon.
