After Hours

Sheila. T'es plus dans le coup papa

Golly, somebody really wanted this tune. I mean, they filmed the freakin' TV and everything! Yes, the quality isn't that great, but it is the original version of the song. This is the legendary Sheila back when she had really crazy hair. A decade and a half later, she was a disco goddess, so she made a lot of bad style choices. However, as far as churning out hits, few were her equal. This was one of her first. It's short, peppy and annoying. I'm sure the kids bought it in droves. OK, so the 8 Women version is performed by Ludivine Sagnier, who looks very much like Penelope Ann Miller and Molly Ringwald's lovechild. She is also obvious not a singer - although you can spell "singer" by rearranging the letters in her last name and discarding one letter. It doesn't matter. She's still not a singer. She does a good enough job, though. Deneuve and Ledoyen back her up. It's all very cute:
