French President's Desperate Text-Message Turned Into a Pop Song

by Terrence O'Brien on February 22, 2008 at 01:25 PM



French President Nicolas Sarkozy once again is finding himself in a pretty sticky situation, this time thanks to leaked cell-phone text message and some creative musicians. Last week, it was reported that just eight days before his marriage to Italian model-turned-popstar Carla Bruni, Sarkozy text messaged his ex-wife Cecilia, begging her to return to him.

"If you come back, I'll cancel everything," said the SMS message.

Though the French prez has denied the story and filed suit against the media outlet that originally ran the story, he's out of luck because the story just wont die. In fact, French pop act Jeanne Cherhal has turned the now-infamous text message into a song, 'Si tu Reviens,' and posted it on her MySpace page.

Will Sarkozy sue her too? Probably not, but it does add more fodder for gossip blogs, and, thanks to mobile technology, gadget blogs such as this one!
