Censored in France after a few concerts.
Lots of people, young and old, took the song seriously at first degree - and not as the exhutoire it was.

This is one of my favourite songs ...
It's some kind of a joke and Les Inconnus play as if they were an emo band in the eighties,
it is at the same time still a nice song, very funny (visually and the lyrics and the way they sing)
and verbally so magnificently complex that it becomes like poetry
another one I like very much, and I've always wondered whether the singer Etienne Daho hasn't got Aspergers

Pierre Bachelet: "Les Corons"
Ma famille travaille dans les mines de charbon du Belgique et Pas-de-Calais, avant ils ont émigré vers les États-Unis. Leur nom a été Lefèbvre.

Oui, zena, americanized by dropping the "b" and reversing the last two letters. One of my nicknames in school was "The French Thermometer".
Great thread, BTW!

One can't think of everything. I believe lots of people don't think of everything when changing their name, whatever it may be, arriving in a new country

Not only that, people in the USA can't spell or pronounce much of anything French - c'est la vie . . .

... mon chéri
Where I live, people have pretty hard times to pronounce my family name as well - which is nevertheless well known and easy to pronounce elsewhere.
... And I have bat times as well to hear it pronounced as they do
