	It's not what you think...I really don't hate the French. I wrote this in the late 90's with my late, great punk band, Hey Kid, after I went snowboarding in the French Alps and learned some French pick up lines. I just thought it'd be funny to post this song in light of our recent history with our French compatriots.

	Story Behind the Song I wrote this song because I thought it'd be fun to sing part of a song in the "small talk" French I learned while on a snowboarding trip in 1997 in the French Alps. We were an international group with five French people, two Germans, one Italian and three Americans. It was an awesome experience! I wrote this song at rehearsal with my late, great punk band, Hey Kid. I actually can't remember how long it took. I recorded it at several studios over several months with the great Jerry Napier eventually producing the finished product.
