The name of the Canadian progressive folk band Le Diable aux Corsets comes from the French expression "avoir le diable au corps" meaning to move/dance frantically (lit. to have the devil in one's body) - the band being made up of three women (the corsets) and a man (the devil)! Listen to their 2010 song La Sorcière, and follow the chilling fairy tale of a witch searching for her lost youth... Can you sing along to La Sorcière? Come on, we dare you! ;)
