There are some records that are so truly awesome that they transcend the barriers of language and style and this song is definitely one of them! I remember watching this on Top of The Pops in 1978 and then immediately going down to Lewis’s to get my copy, which I still have today.
The very idea that the French who had given us wine and cheeses and the Renault could do ‘punk’ was just too much for me and I was immediately hooked!
As it turned out Plastic Bertrand was from Belgium anyhow and so along with Jacques Brel Belgium and the road to London Belgium has given us three useful things!
To this day I have no idea what this song is about but I love its energy and drive and was reunited with it when Clark’s used it in one of their adverts for shoes!
If this doesn’t bring a smile to your face you’re already dead….
Enjoy…..
