French Canadians I need your help! Remove this text

While trying to escape Montreal a few days ago on the 15 North detour that sent us all around the city I heard the strangest song I've come across in a while. Sounded kind of like bluesly French rap with a harmonica and IIRC a bit of animal noises in the middle. Anyone have any idea what its called so I can track it down to annoy my friends with?

Why bother to go through all that trouble when Celine Dion's music is so accessible?

OK, I stand corrected. I actually wasn't sure if I had spelled it right or not, thanks for the correction. I have seen it spelt the other way though.

I think it means "do you have a girlfriend ?" (I have been interested in the Quebecois language at a time). In this case, yes, a Brunette

Bravo, spiffor. Une petite amie, en francais est une 'blonde' en quebecois.

J'ai une brunette petite amie aussi.

Peut-etre Richelieu sait autre mots.

(For the non-French)

I have a brunette girlfriend also, and perhaps Richelieu knows other words.

Seriously Sloww, what the hell is your problem? In lieu of a reasonable explanation, I'm just going with the logical assumption that all this bullshit macho posturing stems from massive insecurity about your tiny little penis.

So are we talking Tic Tac size here, Sloww? It couldn't possibly be that bad.
