Wham
Bang
Mon chat "Splash" gite sur mon lit a bouffe
Sa langue en buvant trop mon whysky
Quand a moi peu dormi
Vide
Brime
J'ai du dormir dans la goutiere
Oil j'ai un flash
Ouh
Ouh
Ouh.
En 4 couleurs
Allez op
Un matin
Une louloute est v'nue chez moi
Poupee de cellophane
Cheveux chinois

Sparadrap
Une gueule de bois
A bu ma biere dans un grand verre en caoutchouc
(Ouh
Ouh
Ouh) comme un indien dans son igloo

Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi

Moi
Moi
Moi
Moi
Ca plane pour moi
(Ouh
Ouh
Ouh) ca plane pour moi

Allez hop
La mama
Quel panard
Quelle vibration
De s'envoyer sur le paillasson
Lime
Ruine
Vide
Comble
You are the king of the divan
Qu'elle me dit en passant
(Ouh
Ouh
Quh) I'm the king of the di - van

Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi

Allez hop
T'occupes
T'inquietes
Touches pas ma planete
It's not today que le ciel me tombera sur la tete
Et que la colle me manquera
(Ouh
Ouh
Ouh) Ça plane pour moi

Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi

Allez hop
Ma nana s'est tiree
S'est barree
Enfin c'est marre
A tout casse
L'evier
Le bar
Me laissant seul comme un grand connard
(Ouh
Ouh
Ouh) le pied dans le plat

Ça plane pour moi
Ça plane pour moi

I used to be Fat, Old, and Stupid, but I’ve lost a little weight.  Still, I have to wonder….   What the hell is wrong with me?  I mean…. I actually enjoyed this tune.  Do I need to see a therapist?

No idea what he is saying. But when it plays on RP my attitude can only improve. Dick Dale could pull that positive uplift off too. Here is to those who keep the positive up front! F the quitters

Crazy story!  This is not Plastic Bertrand.  In 2010 he finally admitted in a court case that he wasn't "let in the studio" to sing it.  It was sung by the person who wrote and produced it, and now has all the rights to it: Lou Deprijck.

Probably the name, Plastic Bertrand; suits the song. And it's less creepy-sounding that Elton Motello's version, since most English listener's couldn't understand the words, lol.

I can't help but like this song.  Craig Ferguson used it as one of his intro songs for "The Late Show with Craig Ferguson"  and his show always made me smile.  Those were   Better times.   Much MUCH better times.  

Fun, bouncy, stupid silly song; that reminds me of Craig.   
  
*just*  for mentioning Ferguson 
I've been binge-watching his Late Late Show from 2010 on for a year now. He is a generous, brilliant and daring entertainer if there ever was one.

Quite terrible, but amusing. And did Manu Chao rip this off for Bongo Bong? Interesting...
ETA: Guess it's the other way around! Though apparently Chao's song was based on a much older one.

Wham
Bang
My cat "Splash" on my bed
His tongue drinking too much my whysky
When did not sleep?
Empty
Bullied
I had to sleep in the goutiere
Oil I have a flash
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh.
In 4 colors
Go op
One morning
A louloute is coming home
Cellophane doll
Chinese hair

plaster
A hangover
Drank my beer in a big rubber glass
(Ooh
Ooh
Ouh) as an Indian in his igloo

That Plane For Me
That Plane For Me

Me
Me
Me
Me
That Plane For Me
(Ooh
Ooh
Ouh) it's flat for me

Go hop
The mother
What a panard
What a vibration
To get laid on the doormat
Lime
Ruined
Empty
packed
You are the king of the couch
That she tells me by the way
(Ooh
Ooh
I'm the king of the di-van

That Plane For Me
That Plane For Me

Go hop
you busy
worry
Keys not my planet
It's not today that the sky will fall on my head
And that glue will miss me
(Ooh
Ooh
Ouh) It's good for me

That Plane For Me
That Plane For Me

Go hop
My girl pulled herself
Barreed
Finally it's fed up
At any case
The sink
The bar
Leaving me alone like a big asshole
(Ooh
Ooh
Ouh) the foot in the dish

It's a I-IV-V progression, so it's really about 60 percent of the "notes" (chords) which are B-flat.  Pretty much like most I-IV-V progressions.

Love that RP is playing this!  I just heard it in a recently released French film called Rock and Roll with Marion Cotillard.

WOW!  I thought I was the only one who played this on the radio still.  One of the all-time greatest tracks.

AND, I never heard this on RP before, thanks Bill!
Posted 6 years ago by Zapmedia    [ Reply ]
Haha...wow...I haven't heard *this* song in a long time :)
I think Plastic Bertrand would qualify as an official one hit wonder band, unless I am missing all the other French hits that aren't played here.

Yeah, maybe we should leave the kids' music off RP. This only reinforces the stereotype that the French are incapable of producing good music (Air, Les Negresses Vertes, and Autor de Lucie being the only exceptions to that rule that I can think of).
