C'est clair, dans les années 80 ils sont venus chanter dans la boite de nuit de mes parents, ils sont arrivés 2h en retard complètement défoncés à l'héro 😅
WOW! This song is just AMAZING!! I love it! And the visual so cheesy, crazy as Hell, so strange and hilarious at the same time. The rhythm and the guitar are so catchy ... I LOVE IT! An extended version would be fantastic!
Aaahh ... Dereck, dear Dereck! Your musical choices in French songs are so good and appreciable ! Love your reacts ! I asked the French government to appoint you as Ambassador of French song in the United States. You deserve it.
Fred Chichin, miss him so much, he was a genious. Rita Mitsouko is one of those bands, in France, as soon as you play a song in a party everyone goes on the dancefloor, especially this one and Marcia Baila. The lyrics are also much deeper than they sems to be, very well written. Rita Mitsouko was unique, I saw them live a few times, and saw Catherine in solo tour too, she's awesome. The way they loved each other is in their music too, and now their childs are in music too and does great songs, their daughter is just a Catherine's clone, with the same skill with her voice. Catherine was criticized for the way she earned money before being famous (I'm sure you know what...) but she is so talented that even the ones who were very "angry" about it must admit she's above all a fantastic artist.
Fun fact : the CGI backgrounds in the clip are one of the early works of a young french studio called MacGuff Ligne… known today as Illumination with the "Despicable Me" series.
Merci Derek de faire découvrir des groupes français formidable, qui on eu un impact énorme sur la musique par chez nous et qui sont je pense pas très connus aux USA au contraire de la musique des USA en France.
@@MonsieurMerci So do I. C'est comme ca was the only song I knew of them (and think it's awsome) so Singing in the Shower was not what I expected, it was a very pleasant surprise. And it was my introduction to the Sparks.
As a native French speaker, it's always weird to hear Catherine Ringer singing in English in this song. It's like a bad translation to me. But I love the song. Having both Sparks and Rita Mitsouko on the same track is one of the best things that happened to music at the time.
The guitar work is superb here, Fred killed it. The energy of the song is incredible, and of course Catherine is in command as always. They were million years away from other groups in France, so experimental. For an extra song of them to review, there would be Le petit train with a very interesting video and also another onr (no video) but killer song: Un soir un chien.
You listen to this, you go run a marathon. Iconic group, soooo respected both as individuals and as a band. Fred and Catherine are national jewels for creativity and french cool.
Language key to the title: “C’est comme ça” literally translates into “This is like that”, but actually means “it is what it is”. Which makes sense with the lyrics: she doesn’t really want to leave him, but it is what it is;-)
She makes weird looks & sounds really really really GOOD ! ... This has always been THE key to understand Rita Mitsouko to me. Love her for that. When you think about it, we all are weird in our own way. And that should feel soooo O.K. ❤❤
I remember when they came to San Francisco at the I - Beam. What a show!! Catherine Ringer blew the roof off the place!!!!!!!! Bonus having Tony Visconte playing with them. He played on album 2 ,3 and 4 i believe. It was 86 or 87.
I've watched this music video from Le Rita Mitsouko a 100 times. Glad to see this reaction video gets it. Absolutely love this song and video. Total badasses. Vocals and guitar slay BTW.
"Awkwardly addictive" is the perfect description. Spot on. Fred Chichin was recognized by many French rock guitarists as the best of them. When he died they organized a tribute to him at the next Victoires de la Musique (French music awards). 14 famous guitarists on the scene playing a medley of Rita Mitsouko instrumentals for 2 minutes and a half, no vocals.
So great you enjoy this part of our musical culture which is so important !! Great loss when they stopped and then when fred died... niagara (another band) was also cool but there’s nothing compared to this musical time we had and which is totally gone... i feel like there’s nothing as experimental and of quality than what we had at the time... but maybe I’m just getting old ??!! Thx for sharing;)
J'adore les rita oui moi aussi toute ma jeunesse..... qu'est ce qu'on était bien à cette époque..... et niveau musique c'était extraordinaire tout ce qu'on pouvait écouter
Hi Dereck, your analysis is really interesting, compare Catherine Ringer to Debbie Harry or the Rita Mitsouko to B52's is great ! There was something different in this video, because of Jean-Baptiste Mondino, an artist of the 80's. Luv U, don't stop the Xmas videos ! All the year !

You should look for Béruriers Noirs if you want french punk. And they're punk not only in music but also in spirit. At the Festival d'été de Québec, they requested to have all the sponsors banners on the stage hidden before performing as they don't want to be associated with any corporate stuff. The organization obliged and they gave their show afterward.
Hi Dereck! Thanks for reacting on the second time on Rita Mitsouko! They are an atypical and eccentric group whether in their look or in their music what makes their originality. They attract attention. This song "C'Est Comme Ca" released in November 1986 is very well known, EPIC and WORSHIP in their career. I love this catchy air (especially music) but it's true that lyrics are "bizarre" like you said, even I don't understand them, it makes you want to sing especially when you are a child at the playground with classmates at the time ! ☺ The video directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino (commercial director and photographer who worked with french singers like Axel Bauer, Vanessa Paradis, Alain Bashung, Marc Lavoine in duo with CATHERINE RINGER, Téléphone and also international singers like Madonna in 1987 for "Open Your Heart" video, David Bowie, keziah Jones, Sting, Björk, Bryan Ferry, Don Henley (singer and drummer of Eagles!), using computer graphics signed by studio Mac Guff and awarded at Victoires De La Musique in 1987. The final guitar solo is played by English guitarist Sam Smith. I remember this song is used in the movie "La Vie Est Un Long Fleuve Tranquille" (Life Is A Long Quiet River) shot in Summer 1987 by Etienne Chatiliez with the young actor at the time Benoît Magimel (he was 12) released in the cinemas in 1988. The WORSHIP scene is in this link at the 44th second if you want to watch : ua-cam.com/video/RrtB7j3rDG8/v-deo.html.

If you like rita mitsouko make your choice : Les histoires d'a Le petit train Andy And if you want listen Catherine ringer in a deferent style listen marc lavoine ft Catherine ringer : qu'est ce que t'es belle
Hi Dereck great reaction, it's so nice to see someone foreign loving this terrific band from France ! I would love to see you react to "La sorcière et l'inquisiteur", it's a less known song from the same band, it's beautiful and very particular, kind of theatrical, with a mystic theme, I'm sure you would be very intrigued by it...
Your opinion, years after and miles away, is very interesting Dereck. This song is in my top 10 rock parts. Among Highway to Hell or Ace of Spades,... Pure level of energy. Catherine, the great Catherine, is still active, as creative as ever. In Memory of Fred Chichin
Great band from the 80's and later !! Try that song from the same Rita Mitsuko : Triton , certainly my favorite song from them :) Happy new year by the way /kiss
Merci Dereck pour tout ces groupes que tu passes et il reste tellement de groupes sympa à passé comme; Noir Désir , Téléphone, Louise attack ,etc...ou chanteurs Bashung, Dutronc , Thiefaine etc...bonne continuation Dereck
Whooooohooooo you brought my student time back at university. This was the most addictive group in the 80’s-90’s. I see the link you mentioned about the b52 but the Rita M. were much more popular in France and Belgium. Look at Marcia Baila and Andy :) have fun
This song was a dancefloor filler on every school Party back in the days here in Germany. Les Rita Mitsouko - great french Band. I also loved Hip Kit and Le petit train.
Hi, I am glad you like The Rita Mitsouko, this specific song is the song of my teenage years. For a French of any generation, it is a staple, since it is still played on radios. I agree with you, Catherine is made for art. She started younger as a pornographic actress in the 70's, met Frederic Chichin and got into this rock aventure. If you love her body language and the way she moves, please, look at the Video "Y a de la Haine". It is musically interesting, and this is the video in which they underline their complicity both in music and life, since they were a couple. Whenever you see her now, she has this melancholic look, and must miss Fred who passed away from a cancer years ago. Good job for your analysis, you are really fair and precise. Thank you.
Hi Derek ! Thanks for reacting to so many French songs on your channel ! Here in France, we tend to forget how many great songs we've had over the years, and particularly around this period of time. If I may offer a suggestion : please try "La ville" by the group "Oui oui". Not the same kind of music, but the video is as insane as this one, if not more :D !
Smart choice. The la la la avoids the track to be only rock, balances a pop way. Sure you re not finished yet with les rita, and would bet your next addiction will be "y a d la haine" another classic!
Hi Dereck, I look forward to each of your videos! I recommend "Le Petit Train" by Rita Mitsouko. Catherine Ringer is sensational in it and the contrast between the gaiety of the rhythm and the horror of the deportation described is incredible.
This song was a real success ! Nice music with growing talent of Catherine and Fred undoubtedly, but the revolution was the clip made by Mondino with a new technic. He used several cameras to give this jerky and surreal effect and after the editing Catherine seems totally dismantled 💚💚💚
Hello, i think you must listen to another french group called "Indochine". Here is some songs to discover them: -L'aventurier -Trois nuits par semaine -J'ai demandé à la lune Hope you enjoy
A little known fact about the Rita Mitsouko is that they featured System of a Down's singer Serj Tankian on their 2007 album Variéty. The song is called Terminal Beauty, and it's a gem! Sadly this album was their last, since Fred Chichin died that same year, but I highly recommend it. :)
Just pure energy :))) Anytime in a party, concert, in your workplace, under the shower, during your wedding, and your divorce too, until the end of times. ♡♡♡
Si tu aimes le Rock, tu devrais essayer Shaka Ponk (groupe français qui chante en anglais, espagnol, esperanto et français), avec les titres "Let's bang" et "Palabra mi amor" !
I love the way you reacts. There's many UA-cam channels of reactions but yours is probably the best. If you like french artists you must try Guesh Patti "Étienne" and Mano Negra "King Kong five", "Out of time man", Chagrin d'amour "Chacun fait ce qu'il lui plaît"
It's so rare to see non-french ppl reacting to French music, especially 'oldies'. Saw a few French rap reactions but it's pretty much it. Ty for being open minded. U butcher French titles & names tbh😭😅 but it's ok, I know it's hard 😅. The artists u react to are so different, I'm curious, might dive into it 😊
Hi Dereck, for brass and horns : Andy !!! and you're so right they are Addictive. The Ritas never repeat themselves, always new but always the Ritas' sound : Y'a d'la haine Le Petit train Les histoires d'A etc...
Oh, Les Rita Mitsouko - from Paris with love! Unparalleled to anything else on the 1980s pop scene. Quirky cutting-edge pop music accompanied by quirky cutting-edge music videos (most of them directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino). Catherine Ringer was/is truly a brilliant performer, dancer and singer, and Fred Chichin (RIP) was a great songwriter & producer. They released a lot of great music but three singles were very special to me: "Marcia Baila", "C'est Commes Ça" and "Le Petit Train". Legendary Bowie and Iggy Pop producer Tony Visconti produced two of their albums. Timeless pop music!
I used to appreciate The Ritas, but not really being a fan... except for this song, that got everything I love in music. And now, thanks to you, I know exactly why : the producer is Tony Visconti ? The same Tony Visconti who produced most of David Bowie's albums ??? No wonder I love this particular song !
Had the chance to see them live in Montreal before Fred Chichin passed out (he never sings btw) This is one of my faves. Catherine is often dressed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, who is one of her close friend.
Well done Dereck you have good tastes. In France, this group is called "les Rita", but you should know that the guitarist has been dead for a while now. in life he was married to Catherine the singer. This song is magic, in France you put it in a party, everyone moves from the chair. You should also know that she is over 30 years old, but like all good songs, it does not get old.
Real rock, ils ont bercés toute mon adolescence, j'ai adoré cette période et ce son, cette audace! Et je le suis devenu moi aussi, et peut-être qu'ils n'y sont pas pour rien! Merci les Rita!
les Ritas, le groupe le plus génial et le plus délirant des années 80-90. toute ma jeunesse...merci dereck de nous refaire écouter ça. merci
👍👏

Merci Dereck pour tout ces groupes que tu passes et il reste tellement de groupes sympa à passé comme; Noir Désir , Téléphone, Louise attack ,etc...ou chanteurs Bashung, Dutronc , Thiefaine etc...bonne continuation Dereck
Whooooohooooo you brought my student time back at university. This was the most addictive group in the 80’s-90’s. I see the link you mentioned about the b52 but the Rita M. were much more popular in France and Belgium. Look at Marcia Baila and Andy :) have fun
This song was a dancefloor filler on every school Party back in the days here in Germany. Les Rita Mitsouko - great french Band. I also loved Hip Kit and Le petit train.
Some real exquisite French pearls in a sea of pasteurized cheezee singers.
Hi, I am glad you like The Rita Mitsouko, this specific song is the song of my teenage years. For a French of any generation, it is a staple, since it is still played on radios. I agree with you, Catherine is made for art. She started younger as a pornographic actress in the 70's, met Frederic Chichin and got into this rock aventure. If you love her body language and the way she moves, please, look at the Video "Y a de la Haine". It is musically interesting, and this is the video in which they underline their complicity both in music and life, since they were a couple. Whenever you see her now, she has this melancholic look, and must miss Fred who passed away from a cancer years ago. Good job for your analysis, you are really fair and precise. Thank you.
Hi Derek ! Thanks for reacting to so many French songs on your channel ! Here in France, we tend to forget how many great songs we've had over the years, and particularly around this period of time. If I may offer a suggestion : please try "La ville" by the group "Oui oui". Not the same kind of music, but the video is as insane as this one, if not more :D !
Salut Dereck!
C'est juste génial.
Merci.
Did you know Catherine Ringer sang a duo in TV with Iggy pop. I put a spell on you.
Smart choice. The la la la avoids the track to be only rock, balances a pop way. Sure you re not finished yet with les rita, and would bet your next addiction will be "y a d la haine" another classic!
Hi Dereck, I look forward to each of your videos! I recommend "Le Petit Train" by Rita Mitsouko. Catherine Ringer is sensational in it and the contrast between the gaiety of the rhythm and the horror of the deportation described is incredible.
This song was a real success ! Nice music with growing talent of Catherine and Fred undoubtedly, but the revolution was the clip made by Mondino with a new technic. He used several cameras to give this jerky and surreal effect and after the editing Catherine seems totally dismantled 💚💚💚
still kicking after 40 years ... I miss parties with this kind of music
Like it, Nice job man ! Thank for reading the comments, i'm one of those who suggest "c'est comme ca" on the "marcia baila " video.
Hello, i think you must listen to another french group called "Indochine". Here is some songs to discover them:
-L'aventurier
-Trois nuits par semaine
-J'ai demandé à la lune
Hope you enjoy
Adding Pink Water duo with Brian Molko of Placebo, Grand Secret, Le Manoir, Station 13 ... Pfffts, too many to call from them.
Support him and he will
-Les ombres sur l'O
Et le Groupe NIAGARA
@@zarkange762 That one is called A l'Assault.
A little known fact about the Rita Mitsouko is that they featured System of a Down's singer Serj Tankian on their 2007 album Variéty. The song is called Terminal Beauty, and it's a gem! Sadly this album was their last, since Fred Chichin died that same year, but I highly recommend it. :)
Merci pour l'info, je savais pas.
Just pure energy :)))
Anytime in a party, concert, in your workplace, under the shower, during your wedding, and your divorce too, until the end of times. ♡♡♡
One of the iconic songs of the 1980s.
Si tu aimes le Rock, tu devrais essayer Shaka Ponk (groupe français qui chante en anglais, espagnol, esperanto et français), avec les titres "Let's bang" et "Palabra mi amor" !
Very good choice !!!!
Greeting from France
Ok...you won a New follower my man
Nice reaction once more. Great job !!!
You now need to please do the song "Andy" from them
Merciii à Google de m'avoir fait découvrir ta chaîne youtube et tes réactions de chansons françaises ! 👌👌😌
I love the way you reacts. There's many UA-cam channels of reactions but yours is probably the best. If you like french artists you must try Guesh Patti "Étienne" and Mano Negra "King Kong five", "Out of time man", Chagrin d'amour "Chacun fait ce qu'il lui plaît"
Thank you...means alot❤️
It's so rare to see non-french ppl reacting to French music, especially 'oldies'. Saw a few French rap reactions but it's pretty much it. Ty for being open minded. U butcher French titles & names tbh😭😅 but it's ok, I know it's hard 😅. The artists u react to are so different, I'm curious, might dive into it 😊
You should try to listen to Téléphone from same period in France too!
"La bombe humaine".
Yes, what a good idea!!!
@@carolineviateur754 You're right, Indochine and Telephone it would be perfect!
Un autre monde..
This video was directed by Jean Baptiste Mondino, who got a Grammy Award for Boys of Summer by Don Henley video
Thanks for the video react.of the Rita Mitsouko there is Histoires d'A
And Andy
Glad to sse à young man enjoying the music I listen when I was also à young french punk ;) !
Still, after all of these years, one of my top 10 feel good and dance madly songs.
You should definitely check out "Le petit train", another outlandish song for which they shot a visually striking video as usual.
Hi Dereck,
for brass and horns : Andy !!!
and you're so right they are Addictive.
The Ritas never repeat themselves, always new but always the Ritas' sound :
Y'a d'la haine
Le Petit train
Les histoires d'A
etc...
Oh, Les Rita Mitsouko - from Paris with love! Unparalleled to anything else on the 1980s pop scene. Quirky cutting-edge pop music accompanied by quirky cutting-edge music videos (most of them directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino).
Catherine Ringer was/is truly a brilliant performer, dancer and singer, and Fred Chichin (RIP) was a great songwriter & producer. They released a lot of great music but three singles were very special to me: "Marcia Baila", "C'est Commes Ça" and "Le Petit Train". Legendary Bowie and Iggy Pop producer Tony Visconti produced two of their albums. Timeless pop music!
Je l'aime d'amour cette femme..elle est excellente ❤
😁🤩😍So glad you heard this and appreciate it !
I used to appreciate The Ritas, but not really being a fan... except for this song, that got everything I love in music. And now, thanks to you, I know exactly why : the producer is Tony Visconti ? The same Tony Visconti who produced most of David Bowie's albums ??? No wonder I love this particular song !
Merci Dareck ❤
Tank you for traduction french, regarde depuis la Belgique.
Well done for picking french songs!! Impeccable taste!
Hi, i'm 53 years old French , i've just dicover your channel, thank you for your brillant Job.
Had the chance to see them live in Montreal before Fred Chichin passed out (he never sings btw) This is one of my faves. Catherine is often dressed by Jean-Paul Gaultier, who is one of her close friend.
Well done Dereck you have good tastes. In France, this group is called "les Rita", but you should know that the guitarist has been dead for a while now. in life he was married to Catherine the singer. This song is magic, in France you put it in a party, everyone moves from the chair. You should also know that she is over 30 years old, but like all good songs, it does not get old.
Real rock, ils ont bercés toute mon adolescence, j'ai adoré cette période et ce son, cette audace! Et je le suis devenu moi aussi, et peut-être qu'ils n'y sont pas pour rien! Merci les Rita!
