Another album I bought for 3€ and then listened to for three years.
"This is a song called Wild Child. It's about a Wild Child, funnily enough."
The album is completely mislabeled, and in fact, Wild Child is not even on this playlist.
You'd be missing out, so I found it on Youtube:
Someone on soundcloud said I reminded her of Melanie, so I made a playlist.
I've mentioned Melanie before in this blogpost.
Some of the songs are a mix of Marianne Faithful and Devendra Banhart and the Shangri-Las. Maybe I'm wrong about that.
The story of this nun is very sad and it goes something like this:
After earning loads of fame from this track, she then was less popular.
She had given all her proceeds to her convent and they refused to acknowledge it so she had to pay taxes on money she never had.
Then the convent found out she was gay and banished her so she went to live with her girlfriend.
Then she had more financial trouble and some drug trouble and she and her girlfriend killed themselves but not before the singing nun made a disco remake of her hit single.
In French, "nique" means fuck, which maybe explains why this song was so popular.
