On the wings of song

It’s a new era in diplomacy.

The French and German foreign ministers, Bernard Kouchner and Frank-Walter Steinmeier, are to record a duet together for release on YouTube. Fortunately professional musicians will be on hand to help out the two crooning politicians.

Yeah well you’ve already guessed where I’m going with this, haven’t you.

Who can we pair Lexie up with?

Well there’s only one choice really isn’t there ….

Condi plays a mean piano apparently and of course Lexie’s got form as a cabaret artist.

 

All that’s left is to pick a song. Something suitably camp I think … an old Marlene Dietrich number? Something by Charles Aznavour perhaps … it would let Lexie show off his fluency in French.

But wait … I can imagine the most awesomest YouTube video, with images of John Howard and George W Bush forming patterns on a giant screen while their two foreign ministers do a heartfelt rendition of ‘Let’s Hear It for the Boy’. It’s genius, even if I do say so myself, and is bound to be one of the top online hits of 2007.
