This song “I’ll kill Her” by French singer Soko is so adorable!

I would have met your friends,
We would have had like a drink or two,
They would have liked me cause
Sometimes i’m funny,
I would have met your dad,
I would have met your mum, she’d have said,
“Please, can’t you make some beautiful babies,”
So we would have had a boy called Tom, and a girl called Susan,
Born in Japan,

She’s a bitch you know, all she’s got is blondeness,
Not even tenderness, yeah she’s clever-less,
She’ll dump your ass for a model called Brendan,
He will pay for a beautiful surgery, because he’s full of money,

So man I told you… if I find her,
I’ll just find something, anything… a gun if I can. Anything.
And I’m strong enough, so I’ll do it. I’ll kill her.

Her website explains how it started:

SoKo put up “I’ll Kill Her” at her MySpace for some friends in November 2006. This version, which she recorded in her bedroom, isn’t really that much to her liking. Telling Courier Mail: “Say you want to do a huge painting, and you make a little black and white sketch on a napkin and you’re like, ‘I want to do that with a lot of colour and really big’. Then people are like, ‘Oh no, this one on the little napkin is really good, we should put in in a museum’. But that’s not what you want to do.”

I think the homemade video was perfect! I love the defiant yet plaintive juts of her chin when she sings the refrain, like she’s trying to be tough. A studio-produced version would’ve made her into a Pink-styled psycho ex-girlfriend.
