"L'isle Joyeuse"

[sergebroom]

Whenever I hear Debussy's "L'isle joyeuse", I wonder what happens to those of its inhabitants who get up in the morning and who don't particularly feel like being joyous. Maybe the island's proprietor - played by Malcolm McDowall - comes along saying "Smile, everyone, smile!"
