5 People Yelle Wants to Celebrate Bastille Day With
With her catchy electro-pop and enthralling live show, Yelle (a.k.a. Julie Budet) certainly knows how to start a party. With Bastille Day taking place on Saturday, July 14, we thought it would only be right to ask the woman responsible for igniting dance floors around the world who she would like to get down with on this special day given the opportunity. And if you're thinking she limited her answers to people who are alive — well, you're wrong. Read below which lucky party guests Yelle picked and remember that everyone is French on Bastille Day.
1. GrandMarnier (Yelle’s composer, co-writer, producer). His birthday is actually on Bastille Day (how appropriate), and his real name is Jean-François Perrier!
2. A random person who actually lived during that time (the French Revolution) so I could have a real personal story to listen to.
3. All of my grandparents. They're now all dead but they were really into the "République," and watched the celebration closely every year.
4. Serge Gainsbourg. He would sing "Aux armes, et caetera" to me
5. Marianne, so I would ask her to show me her other boob!
