Making Sense of Phoenix Lyrics: Music Intervention

Sergio_Cilli
Sergio Cilli stages a "Music Intervention" for Phoenix, the French (well, mostly) alternative rock band behind such hits as "Lisztomania" and other songs you've likely heard but can't understand the lyrics to. Sergio feels your pain. By the time he's through with Phoenix, they'll either be singing in full, comprehensible English sentences or they'll have to listen to Sergio butcher a tune in their native tongue. Or both.

It takes a real friend to call an intervention to help you realize you might have a problem. This also applies to music. Except Sergio is not your friend but he still wants you to stop. Here's Sergio's Music Intervention.
