Plastic Bertrand: Ca Plane Pour Moi

Track of the Week - 15 April 2018

My mum and dad's Belgian friends came over for a few days this week as they wanted to visit the elderly gentleman of our acquaintance. It was nice to catch up with them and they bring chocolate.

I'll bring you some Belgian stuff this week in the shape of Plastic Bertrand and his 1978 punk pastiche novelty hit Ca Plane Pour Moi. Sung in French it reached number eight here and topped the charts in France and Switzerland.

I don't speak French but from reading translations his cat has swallowed its tongue from drinking all his whiskey, he's slept in the gutter and has visions in four colours (amongst other things) but in the end everything's cool with him.

Which seems a good life lesson.
