Mesdames et messieurs, I present for your musical appreciation the French chanson "Comme D'Habitude" by tracksuited crooner Claude François.
And before you ask, oui, that's the song Frank Sinatra stole and turned into "My Way". According to the wise folks at Slate's Culture Gabfest, the song has gained a second life as a gay anthem in France. The reason isn't Claude's amazing turtleneck zipper top; it's because of the lyrics. The song's about a relationship that's slowly petering out, and the lyrics are unclear about the genders of the people involved in the relationship. And somewhere along the line, the song took two paths: one led to the rainbow flag, the other led to Mr Sinatra's swaggering swagger.
