April March (born Elinor Lanman Blake; April 20, 1965)[1] is an American singer-songwriter.[2] Considering herself to be a "lifelong Francophile", she performs in the English and French languages.[3] March is notable for her France Gall/Serge Gainsbourg-based cover song "Chick Habit" ("Laisse tomber les filles"), which was featured in Jamie Babbit's 1999 film But I'm a Cheerleader and in Quentin Tarantino's 2007 Death Proof.[1]

April March is also a professional writer,[4] illustrator,[5][6] and animator,[7] whose work includes the Jack White children's book We're Going to Be Friends[8][9] and visual creations for Pee-wee's Playhouse, motion credits for Madonna's movie and video Who's That Girl,[10] and others. She briefly dated John Kricfalusi during her employment at Spümcø. She worked as a layout artist on Nickelodeon's The Ren & Stimpy Show and wrote the episodes "Stimpy's Fan Club" and "Stimpy's Cartoon Show"; both episodes were produced after Kricfalusi's firing from the series, as she was among those who refused to join Games Animation alongside Kricfalusi, Jim Smith, Vincent Waller and Richard Pursel.Template:Sfn

April March founded her first band, The Pussywillows, in 1987.[11] Since then, March has recorded as a solo artist and has appeared in motion picture soundtracks, as well as performing the theme song for the Cartoon Network series I Am Weasel.[12]

Education
