On 20 October 1995, lifelong Francophile and multitalent ("The Ren & Stimpy Show", et al.) April March released her debut EP, "Chick Habit", as a continued nod to '60s/'70s French chanson and yé-yé, injecting stylized slang in bilingual cover songs.

"Oh, how your bubble's gonna burst
When you meet another nurse
She′ll be driving in a hearse"

08. "Chick Habit" ("Laisse tomber les filles")

Musical Interlude: Another song that hopped into my head today, and I'll be damned if I know why. It's not even an artist I listen to....although I probably should investigate her work more...

"In the still of the night, I walk with the Beast
in the heat of the night, I sleep with the Beast

to take this thing from around me
or snap it with a thundercrack
and change my blues to black"
