From the film, La Zone, http://www.elvisss.com/LAZONE
La Zone is an art-house short zombie film made by French artists Le Contremaître et sa Contremaîtresse and Cetusss. While shooting the film at an art residency deep in the woods of Mont St. Michel in France, the filmmakers spent their down time listening to "We Will Never Be Discovered," the new LP by The City and Horses. One of the songs on the album, "Dum Dee Dum," a sugary sweet lament about unrequited love sung by indie songstress Katie Costello, made for an amusing contrast to the artists' zombie surroundings. In between takes, the filmmakers decided to take advantage of this amusing juxtaposition and made music video for the song.
La Zone will be released in spring 2012. More information about the film can be found at www.elvisss.com.
Lyrics:
Write me a song I don't care if it's short I don't care if it's long Just write me a song
About my pretty dress About the pretty mess My life has become Write a tune that I can hum One that goes Dum-de-dum-dum-dum
Write me a song I don't care if you're short I don't care if you're strong Just write me a song
About how my job’s a bore And how I sweep the floor up Crumb by crumb Write a tune that I can hum One that goes Dum-de-dum-dum-dum
I’m tired of begging you I’m tired of egging you on I’m tired of pegging Pegging you all wrong
Write me a song I don't care if it's short I don't care if it's long Just write me a song
About my job at Sheetz And how I clean the seats off Crumb by crumb Write a tune that I can hum One that goes Dum-de-dum-dum-dum
