Hi all,
Here's a funk rock french song about populism.
Philippe Janin has written the lyrics and he sings.

Have no idea what the lyrics are saying, but this song certainly has a great vibe.

Really enjoyed this. The instrumental tracks were spot on.

Was disappointed I couldn't really hear the cowbell, though smile

Nice pop-pop-pop-pop song.

Love the funky sound! smile

Google offers this translation:

"I like people too much
Better than power and money
I am an altruist
Idealistic"
To help them
Protect them
I sign and I persist
Some like me, there must be
Almost as much as populists
Almost as much as populists

Chorus: Pop, Pop, Popu, Pop, Populist …….

Me what I like
It's the feelings
Idealistic feelings
Those we put at the top of the list
Those we broadcast
Those we spread
On the fly, on the go
Even if it means doing it at their expense
It's beautiful all the time
Almost as beautiful as a populist

Pop, Pop, Popu, Pop, Populist …….

What I like
It is to broadcast
And impose my beautiful ideas
It's my credo, my martingale
My ideal world is beautiful
I sell it to whoever wants to believe it
It's my job I do the fairs
Meetings, demonstrations
I love the sound, I love the bogus populist sound
(The bogus sound of the populists)

Pop, Pop, Popu, Pop, Populist …….

What suits me
In all cases
Is that misery continues
Yours will erase mine
I feed on its noise
And guide you no matter what
From Charybdis to Scylla
My insurance is sovereign
As much as my hatred is simplistic
Because so are the populists
Because so are the populists

Pop, Pop, Popu, Pop, Populist …….

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Thanks David to have found a translation.
French lyrics are not so obvious to translate.
So, perhaps the meaning will be hard to understand for some sentences. Christian

I prefer the translation that reads..."I like the phony sound of populists" because it has the inherent pun.
Wow Christian, a radical change for you but it works really well and the Phillipe's performance and humour is wonderful.


Cheers

Chris,

It has a very traditional chanson scent.
The French pronunciation sound is very fun and is a great feature of this song.
I had often listened to the songs of French singers who sang these songs in the 1970s.
I forgot the names of the singers.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.
