Serge Gainsbourg's Le Poinçonneur des Lilas with a sweet ska-backing - that's a fresh take. On the former FS-blog , we once posted 25 varieties of the song about the unhappy ticket puncher, but that were mostly jazz-reworks. This new version comes courtesy of Alfa Rococo , the Canadian pop-duo that just released their new album. A great album, with added electronic touches.

You can hear Beck, Manu Chao and even Madonna in their music, I like it that all songs are duets, although I think Justine's Ariane Moffatt-ish huskyness [...]
