about

The Dogs In France was the first ever 10p Mixes song. It started out as a drunken nonsense rhyme based around the fact that in French, dogs say “waf waf” (or possibly “ouaf ouaf”) rather than “woof woof” as in English. From there, Danielle created the whole crazy non-story of dogs, autographs, a boy called Jean-Pierre and a trip to Marseille and sang it to Will, who added guitar chords and a silly solo.

lyrics

The dogs in France say "waf waf!"
They ask me for my autograph
They took me for a little stroll-
We talked about love and rock 'n' roll

And when these dogs are good, these dogs are very very good.
And when these dogs are bad, these dogs are awful.
And though they may be small, they're still handy in a fight
But even so, their bark's worse than their bite.

I met a boy called Jean-Pierre
He put some flowers in my hair
He asked if he could hold my hand
I said "I'm not that kind of girl", but he didn't seem to understand

And when these dogs are good, these dogs are very very good
And when these dogs are bad, these dogs are awful.
And though they may be small, they're still handy in a fight
But even so, their bark's worse than their bite.

The dogs in France say "waf waf!"
They ask me for my autograph
They took me for a little stroll-
We talked about love and rock 'n' roll

We went on down to Marseilles
At every disco on the way
I told them they should take their time,
But they didn't heed my warning, just ordered another double vodka, soda and lime.

The 10p Mixes is Danielle and Will. Danielle sings, and plays the keyboard sometimes. Will plays the guitar, and sings sometimes. we make melodic indiepop that varies from saving-up-for-a-Rickenbacker jangly to balls-as-near-to-the-wall-as-possible punk-pop, taking in synthpop, disco, 60s girl-groups and anything else that seems fun along the way. ... more
