Like with Plastic Bertrand (Song 26 – Ca Plane Pour Moi) the concept of a French language song being a hit in the UK was a real rarity but in 1988 this number by a young French girl who would eventually end up married to Johnny Depp was exactly that - a huge hit and as a result it was impossible not to hear it on the radio or see the video on television.
Sometimes it’s hard to explain exactly what it is that make you like a song but sometimes you do not need to understand the words of a song to know that love it. With this particular song Iove the overall sound of it and sometimes that is all you need to enjoy music. I have an album of Abba songs in Spanish (Abba were so talented that they recorded in English, Swedish, French, German and Spanish apparently!) which I love to listen to, and once again it is the ‘sound’ of the whole song that makes it enjoyable.
Now listen to the song….
