Greetings from Ibiza, Answered in April March

Someone sent vacation greetings from Ibiza. The only correct response was April March: Hang up the chick habit, hang it up, daddy, or you’ll be alone in a quick. Hang up the chick habit, hang it up, daddy, or you’ll never get another fix. I’m telling you it’s not a trick, pay attention, don’t be thick, or you’re liable to get licked. You’re gonna see the reason why, when they’re spitting in your eye, they’ll be spitting in your eye.

Hang Up the Chick Habit—April March’s 1995 English reworking of Serge Gainsbourg’s Laisse Tomber les Filles, which France Gall had made into something delicate, and which April March made sharp and menacing. A song about a man who keeps chasing and will eventually get exactly what he deserves. It works as a postcard. It works as a warning. Enjoy Spain.
