"Dessine-moi un mouton" (English: "Draw Me a Sheep") is a 1999 song recorded by French singer-songwriter Mylène Farmer, first in a studio version, then in a live version during her 1999 concert Mylenium Tour. The song was the only single from her third live album ''Mylenium Tour'' and was released on 5 December 2000. The title draws from a direct quotation to a well-known scene in French children's book ''Le Petit Prince'' by Antoine de Saint Exupéry. Although it was generally appreciated by critics and was a top ten hit in France, it had moderate success in terms of sales. ==Background and writing== Originally, "Dessine-moi un mouton" should have been released as the second, third, or fourth single from the studio album ''Innamoramento''.〔Chuberre, 2007, pp. 104-05.〕 However, the song was released much later, and only in a live version to promote the concert album ''Mylenium Tour''. Because of this discrepancy, some people considered the song to be, in fact, the sixth single from the previous studio album. Thus, with this rationale, ''Innamoramento'' is the second album in France to provide six top ten hits in France. Just before the single's release, a rumor circulated that a video was already underway and would be filmed in Corsica to evoke drawn images found in Saint-Exupéry's famous novella, which profoundly inspired the song.〔Chuberre, 2008, p. 207.〕 According to another persistent rumor, Farmer planned to buy some rights to the story from the author's family to create a musical directed by other producers. Finally, none of this gossip proved correct.〔Khairallah, 2007, p. 33.〕〔Rigal, 2010, pp. 123,124.〕 The promotional CD was sent to radio stations on 27 October, and the single was concurrently released with the live album to enable it to move straight to number one on the French Album Charts. All the remixes were produced after the album version, not the live version. Quickly, French station NRJ heavily played the remix called 'World is mine' instead of the live version.〔 For the first time in her career, Farmer used her own drawings to illustrate the CD maxi and vinyl's covers, on which she represented herself next to a sheep. She also used her drawings for the video of "C'est une belle journée", as well as in her book ''Lisa-Loup et le Conteur''.〔 As for the single release of "Sans logique" eleven years earlier, the B-side is "Dernier Sourire", this time in the live version.〔Chuberre, 2008, pp. 231-32.〕 However, when the best of album ''Les Mots'' was released in 2001, the song was not included in the track listing, like other live singles "Allan" and "La Poupée qui fait non".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dessine-moi un mouton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
