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

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.

Oh hello Zonder, did they change their name when arrived?
A quick one and that will be all for today

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

... 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

Je empathie. Le nom de mon père était "Ormand" et son jumeau identique "Orville". Elles ont l'air plutôt étrange prononcé avec un accent américain. Parce que leur grand-mère était de la Sarre, le nom de leur père était "Karl Wilhelm Lefever". Confusion.
