French pop quartet En Attendant Ana recorded three covers for Aquarium Drunkard's The Lagniappe Sessions: McCarthy's Red Sleeping Beauty (MP3), Dubstar's Just a Girl She Said (MP3), and Sacha Distel's Ces Mots Stupides (MP3). About the latter:
Camille and I’ve always wanted to cover Somethin’ Stupid and that was the perfect occasion. I knew I wanted to have something in French for this session but I could only think of 60s ye-ye songs so we checked if a French version of Somethin’ Stupid existed as it was really common to have French versions of American hits back at the time. And it did! We are starting to work on our next album that will be based on the ideas of luck, chance and random both on the form and content. For Ces Mots Stupides, we tried to follow the concept of serendipity by keeping mistakes, unexpected sound artifacts created by digital processes and even exaggerating it which gives us many ideas for the future.
