TEN RULES FOR FRENCH ELECTRONICA BANDS
======================================
Under the Lausanne Treaty, endorsed by the European Union, these are the rules
in order to qualify as a French Electronica Band.
These rules must be strictly adhered to. Failure to comply to these rules will
result in denial of your status as a French Electronica Band.
1. Your band must contain two members. No more, no less.
2. Your band name must be comprised of a single word.
3. Your band name must either be:
a) A one-syllable word, or
b) Be derived from an American pop culture icon from the 1960s or 1970s.
4. Your band name must be in English.
5. If your songs have vocals, they must be in English.
6. Though you are proud to be French, under no circumstances must the
lyrics of your vocal songs be in French.
7. If the vocal is a male voice, it must be performed by one of the two
band members using
a vocoder, talk box or auto-tune effect to mask not only the fact that
you have a weak voice, but that you also possess a French accent.
8. If the vocal is a female voice, it must be performed by a black American
session singer.
9. Your musical genres are restricted to house or downtempo.
10. Your wardrobe must be comprised of clothes manufactured between the
years 1960 and 1980.
