April March (born Elinor Lanman Blake; April 20, 1965) is an American singer-songwriter.^[2] Considering herself to be a "lifelong Francophile", she performs in the English and French languages.^[3] March is widely known 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 Tarantino's 2007 Death Proof.^[4]

April March is also a professional writer,^[5] illustrator,^[6]^[7] and animator,^[8] whose work includes the Jack White children's book We're Going to Be Friends^[9]^[10] and visual creations for Pee-wee's Playhouse, motion credits for Madonna's movie and video Who's That Girl,^[11] 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, whose absences were contributions to the series' decline in quality.^[12]

April March founded her first band, The Pussywillows, in 1987.^[13] 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.^[14]

Education

April March participated in a French junior high student exchange program: "French culture was something my mother presented to me as a greener pasture when I was a little girl."^[15] She later graduated 1983 in the US, from Phillips Academy, Andover, Massachusetts.^[16] Afterward, March studied with Parsons School of Design and also the Disney-founded Character Animation Program at California Institute of the Arts.^{[citation needed]}
