You're pretty nice, lark, but I'm still taking those feathers.

I know you've seen that Target commercial in which a bunch of sugared-up pixies dressed like Crayons jump out of a just-landed hot air balloon and make everything so happy and bright using only colorful Target crap. And the soundtrack to this commercial is the French lullaby, "Alouette," which is a lovely little tune, but translates thus:

Lark, nice lark
Lark, I shall pluck you
I shall pluck your head
I shall pluck your head
And your beak
And your head (etc.)
Aaaaaaaah
Lark, nice lark
Lark, I shall pluck you


And if they're gonna pluck your beak, you nice lark, sounds to me like you're pretty fucking screwed. Fair warning, Target shoppers.
