Les Fatals Picards – Bernard Lavilliers (Updated)
I
don't know French, so maybe some of you guys can translate what they
are singing about – but it sounds a lot of FUN. All their songs are
really fun, actually. You tell just by looking at their album artwork sleeve – they seem to have a thing for vegetables.

This
song "Bernard Lavilliers" is about a singer (Bernard Lavilliers, yeah)
who is actually a sort of french Indiana Jones, he travels a lot, went
to jail. And the song is a sort of "hommage", the band don't know what
he can do now since he has done everything…

[c’est
top] According to fr.wikipedia.org, Bernard Lavilliers is primarily a
singer from the 70s-80s, but also a former juvenile deliquent,
communist, world traveler, general troublemaker, etc. some of which is
mentioned in this song.Nicest tribute song ever, I think.
Bonus: You can listen to another song by Les Fatals Picards from their Navet Maria album (which means Maria Turnip?) over at popisdead.vox.com

Noooooo! The torrent didn’t have the new album! Oh well, this will get me started.
what is the website compose feature? i am in safari now and the site looks fine.. but its true, many things do not work in safari, mac netscape, or mac IE. thats what they get for trying to be different.one-of-us! one-of-us! one-of-us!

Another fantastic french band is Malajube. I really recomend them.
