Queues are a French national sport, invented by the French Bureaucracy, or at least that’s what we French tend to proclaim. Any French institution has it’s queues, and you will most likely wait, wait for so long you could top yourself three to four times, and that’s not being generous.

Stealers Wheel \u2013 Stuck in the Middle With You<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>La base. D’ou le th\u00e8me m’est venu. Etre coince avec des inconnus dans une file d’attente comme on sait si bien le faire en France.<\/p>\n

That’s the track that launched this endeavor. “Being stuck in the middle with other strangers” as I pictured. And this track would fit wonderfully in a queue setting as we all know it…<\/em><\/p>\n

Deceptikon \u2013 Dissolving In Acid<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>Pour affronter la foule, y’a rien de mieux. Et le BIG BOSS de fin se nomme Sandrine.<\/p>\n

To conquer huge crowds, there’s nothing quite like this little diamond track. And to fight the big boss (in the name of sweaty Betty, who’s manning the counter at your local post office, job center or worse yet : DHSS).\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Poulation Density \u2013 Breton<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>La “foule” oui, car du monde il y en a comme tu pouvais t’en douter, mais la queue avance \u00e0 une vitesse ahurissante, tu te mets d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 regarder tes comp\u00e8res derri\u00e8re toi et tu leur r\u00e9p\u00e8te cette phrase “There Is Hope For Us”, tout devrait bien se passer finalement. Jusqu’\u00e0 ce que tu comprenne que tu es dans la mauvaise file. Shiiiit :<\/p>\n

Yes, there’s plenty of people around, it wasn’t a surprise. But what infuriates you the most is the speed at which it painfully goes. You start mumbling a few words while listening to that track : “There Is Hope For Us”. Everything should go fine in the end. Until you realize you’re in the bloody WRONG line, and that’s when Senator Clay Davis cue moment : Shhiiiiiiiit :<\/em><\/p>\n\n

Cee Lo Green \u2013 Fuck You<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>Quand un(e) ingrat(e) tente de couper la file sans vergogne. Que toute la file se regarde \u00e9tonn\u00e9e et rale en coeur\u2026FUCK YOU ouh ouh ouh !<\/p>\n

When a chavette tries her luck at queue jumping without remorse, and the whole procession starts singing in unison : “FUCK YOU ouh ouh ouh !”<\/em><\/p>\n

Look At Where We Are \u2013 Hot Chip<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>Tu commences \u00e0 trouver le temps long et tu es vraiment d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9, tu cherches la guicheti\u00e8re du regard et lui susurre ces mots doux, en esp\u00e9rant qu’elle reponde \u00e0 ton appel “Would You Call My Name ? Look At where we are, remember where we started out…” sauve moi Sandrine (oui la guicheti\u00e8re s’appelle Sandrine).<\/p>\n

You start fidgeting, you’re desperate and you try to lock eyes with Sweaty Betty to whisper sweet nothings like “Would You Call My Name ? Look At where we are, remember where we started out…” save me from this hell-hole Sweaty Betty (yes that’s her Good Name).<\/em><\/p>\n

Lescop \u2013 La For\u00eat<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>Le genre de chanson qui passe tr\u00e8s bien dans une file d’attente de la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 sociale : Suicidaire. Que le mois de d\u00e9cembre bat sont plein, qu’il est 15h30 et qu’il fait d\u00e9j\u00e0 nuit\u2026 enfin tu vois le topo.<\/p>\n

The kind of suicidal song you play when all else fails. When it’s mid-December and the sun disappears at 3pm. And you’re still there queuing.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mark Mothersbaugh \u2013 Ping Island\/Lightning Strike Rescue Op<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>Quand la file d’attente ressemble plus a une migration de pingouins manchot sur la banquise, que tout le monde bouge en accord\u00e9on (fa\u00e7on la marche de l’empereur \/ ou micro-cosmos [le film avec des fourmi la]). Les files d’attentes sont l’endroit pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 des anthropologues.<\/p>\n

When the queue resembles a penguin migration on the northern ice-cap. A little like the Emperor’s March or Micro-cosmos (the boredom-fest movie about ants walking through vegetation. Queues are a anthropologists best friend.<\/em><\/p>\n

LCD Soundsystem \u2013 All My Friends<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>Sept minutes de pur bonheur auditif, tu peux t’\u00e9vader, r\u00eaver, tout en pensant aux autres autour de toi et commencer \u00e0 r\u00e9fl\u00e9chir comment tu va tourner ta th\u00e8se d’anthropologie ou ce que tu vas bien pouvoir te faire a bouffer ce soir. MULTI-TASK !<\/p>\n

Seven minutes of pure eargasm, in which you can daydream, and escape reality. Maybe just concentrate on this anthropologic thesis you should start working on or simply think about what you could possibly eat once this ordeal is over. Multi-tasking is key here.<\/em><\/p>\n

Out Of Time \u2013 Chris Farlowe<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>Tu reprends courage et tu te dit que finalement tu a le controle de la situation, tu lui (Sandrine) reproches de ne pas \u00eatre l\u00e0 pour toi, de prendre une pause caf\u00e9 pendant que tu l’attends, tu n’acceptes pas qu’elle te traite de la sorte tu la menace “You can’t come back and think you are still mine, My poor old fashioned baby I said baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time” ce que tu oublies c’est qu’elle s’en fou…c’est toi qui attendras…comme tout le monde.<\/p>\n

You take your courage in both hands and tell yourself that you have the situation under control. You tell Sweaty Betty that she’s not helping taking a coffee break while you wait. That you will not put up with being treated like that and you threaten her by saying “You can’t come back and think you are still mine, My poor old fashioned baby I said baby, baby, baby, you’re out of time”. However you’ve forgotten that she doesn’t give a fiddlers fart. You’ll be waiting like every one else.<\/em><\/p>\n

Reptile Youth \u2013 Speeddance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>Le genre de chanson que tu aimes jouer quand tu sens que tu arrives pr\u00e8s du guichet apr\u00e8s une journ\u00e9e a mater Sandrine. Tu peux d’ailleurs lui faire quelques r\u00e9flexions sur sa productivit\u00e9 tellement tu as eu le temps de la voir travailler. Marche aussi aux caisses du Monoprix ou a la pr\u00e9fecture de police pour sa carte d’identit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The kind of tune you like playing when you can feel you’re getting close to the counter after spending the entire day with your eye on Sweaty Betty. You can even give her a bit of advice about her productivity since as you’ve spent so much time deciphering her every useless moves. Works wonders at a Tesco checkout or in line for your passport.<\/em><\/p>\n

Cr\u00e8ve Salope ! \u2013 Tepr<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>Tu fais chier Sandrine…<\/p>\n

You’re getting on my ________ Sweaty Betty…<\/em><\/p>\n

I’m On A Boat \u2013 Lonely Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/strong>C’est FAIT ! Tu te sens comme un fou, tu a reussi et tu veux crier ta joie au monde, tu regarde ceux qui font encore la queue avec un air de d\u00e9fi, ils t’en veulent mais mais c’est pas grave” Take a picture, trick (trick) I’m on a boat, bitch “.<\/p>\n

That’s it ! You’re in Seventh heaven, cloud nine, you’ve made it. And you want the world to know it, you cast a pitying glance back to the ones left still queueing, they hate your guts but you don’t give a flying crap : <\/em>Take a picture, trick (trick) I’m on a boat, bitch <\/em>“.<\/em><\/p>\n
