1) A Popular French rock group Dolly got together in Nantes, a town in the west of France, in 1991. Their formation came about thanks to drummer Thierry Lacroix and singer Emmanuelle Monet - aka Manu - who shared a mutual passion for English and American music. The Anglophile duo teamed up with two musician friends - bass-player Mick Chamberlin and guitarist Nicolas Bonniere (who was just 15 at the time!) - and went on to make a name for themselves on the local music scene as Dolly & co.
Dolly and C°'s early influences might have been lifted from the best chapters of an English/American rock compendium - indeed, the group's sound was heavily influenced by the likes of Blondie, Prince, the Pixies and the Smashing Pumpkins. But lead singer Manu's greatest source of inspiration was the work of English indie diva PJ Harvey. The young French singer was fascinated by Harvey's deep, melancholy vocals and, after seeing PJ in concert, Manu decided to accompany her own singing on guitar. Performing extensively on the local music scene, Dolly and C° soon began to build up an extensive repertoire (most of which was written by Manu). And before long the group attracted a massive following of fans.
Encouraged by this early success on the local music scene, Dolly and C° went into the studio to begin work on their debut album. After producing a mini album (featuring six tracks), Dolly and C° went on to produce their first full-length album themselves. (The album, entitled simply "Dolly and C°, actually scored a considerable hit on the national music scene, selling over 85,000 copies).
Shortly after the release of their début album, the group underwent several major changes in their line-up, re-inventing themselves as Dolly. The new-look Dolly went on to sign a recording deal with the East West label and then returned to the studio to set to work on a new CD album.
2) Dolly (alternative tag: Ｄｏｌｌｙ) is a Japanese indie visual kei rock band formed in 2005 and currently signed to FUJI PRODUCTION.
Boasting a melodious guitar sound and a stylish musical sensibility that's dark and rich with attitude, band Dolly lures audiences into their elaborate fairy-tale world with their fusion of catchy radiance and a darkly distorted perspective.

Dolly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can only be you
You know you're a lucky guy
I'm looking for you
For you Régis I'm going away
'Til the day I see that colour
And I'm not who I am
'Til the day I will survive
Who sees the truth in a smile
It's waiting for you
Who hears the words that I'm saying
I'm looking for you
For you Régis I'm going away
'Til the day I see that colour
And I'm not who I am
When I'm finding my way
'Til the day I will survive
And I'm not who I am
When I'm finding my way
'Til the day I see that colour
And I'm not who I am
When I'm finding my way
'Til the day I will survive
I will survive
I know it's a question of time
You know you're a lucky guy
I know it's a question of time
You know you're a lucky guy
Who sees the truth in a smile
I'm waiting for you
The lyrics to Dolly's song "Régis" seem to be about longing for someone named Régis, who is referred to as a "lucky guy." The singer suggests that Régis possesses a certain color that she is searching for, and that she will go away until she finds it. The color may be a metaphor for some attribute or feeling that she associates with Régis. The singer also talks about finding her way and surviving, suggesting that she is going through a difficult time and hoping that Régis can help her.
The lyrics are fairly ambiguous and open to interpretation, which is common in many of Dolly's songs. It's possible that Régis is a real person in her life, or he could be a fictional character or symbol for something else. The repeated refrain of "You know you're a lucky guy" suggests that Régis has something desirable or attractive about him that the singer is drawn to.
