    "Cute cute in a stupid-ass way" That line always gets me. I know he was just translating Brel, but still that does not sound like anything Ive ever heard from the 60's. Love it.

      Apparently despite the BBC ban on "Jackie" for the "authentic queers and phony virgins" line, the album Scott 2 topped the UK album sales charts for a couple of weeks in 1968.

      Jacques Brel's original lyrics 'Beau, beau, beau et con à la fois' translate to 'Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful and stupid at the same time'. Looking at a translation of the Jacques Brel's original lyrics, it seems Mort Shuman's translation was somewhat loose, perhaps in part to rhyme better. Some French details were reinterpreted that would otherwise be lost on English-speaking audiences. In any case look for Jacques Brel's live 1966 performance, and his dizzying live performance of 'La valse а mille temps' (not the 1961 one).

    Magnificent Scott Walker, stark music figure in the booming end-of-60s TV like orchestras, the decade between Tenco's death and leaden sunrise of the Seventies; fire weapon sounding percussions, his lyric full voice like a yell from the road, like the sun shining dark at noon. R.I.P.

    When I first heard this I didn't like it - I was far too young to appreciate the funny, clever, witty and sheer damn artistry of the wonderful lyrics (how DID they get away with them at the time ... opium, bordellos, queers!!). And of course SW will probably never be surpassed at this. It is so VERY difficult to bring off technically cos it needs a voice which is both strong and agile, almost operatic in quality. Ahhh..... wish I could go back in time to hear him do it live ....

      Here are the Lyrics:
      Songwriters: Jacques Brel, Gerard Jouannest
      JACKY
      And if one day I should become
      A singer with a Spanish bum
      Who sings for women of great virtue
      I'd sing to them with a guitar
      I borrowed from coffee bar
      Well, what you don't know doesn't hurt you
      My name would be Antonio
      And all my bridges I would burn
      And if I gave them some they'd know
      I expect something in return
      I'd have to get drunk every night
      To talk about virility
      With some old grandmother who might
      Be decked out like a Christmas tree
      And tho' pink elephants I'd see
      Tho' I'd be drunk as I could be
      Still I would sing my song to me
      About the time they called me Jackie
      If I could be for only an hour
      If I could be for an hour every day
      If I could be for just one little hour
      Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way
      And if I joined the social whirl
      Became procurer of young girls
      Then I would have my own bordellos
      My record would be number one
      And I'd sell records by the ton
      All sung by many other fellows
      My name would then be Handsome Jack
      And I'd sell boats of opium
      Whiskey that came from Twickenham
      Authentic queers and phony virgins
      I'd have a bank on every finger
      A finger in every country
      And every country ruled by me
      I still know where I'd want to be
      Locked up inside my opium den
      Surrounded by some Chinamen
      I'd sing the song that I sang then
      About the time they called me Jackie
      If I could be for only an hour
      If I could be for an hour every day
      If I could be for just one little hour
      Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way
      Now tell me wouldn't it be nice
      That if one day in paradise
      I sang for all the ladies up there
      And they would sing along with me
      We'd be so happy there to be
      'Cause down below is really nowhere
      My name would then be Jupiter
      And I would know where I was going
      And then I would become all knowing
      And my beard so long and flowing
      If I became deaf dumb and blind
      Because I pitied all mankind
      And broke my heart to make things right
      I know that every single night
      When my angelic work was through
      The Angels and the Devil too
      Would sing my childhood song to me
      About the time they called me Jackie
      If I could be for only an hour
      If I could be for an hour every day
      If I could be for just one stinkin' hour
      Cute, cute, cute in a stupid-ass way

    Try the peerless Scott's other classy versions of Brel songs, such as Mathilda, If You Go Away, Girls and the Dogs, Funeral Tango, Next and the brilliant but never released (on record or CD) Alone.

  • @xavierlechard3269
    @xavierlechard3269 6 років тому +2

    This should have been the big hit, not Seasons in the Sun. Schuman did a wonderful job rendering Brel's abrasive wit - not an easy feat, believe me!

    Whoa...It's funny, camp and brilliant, all at the same! But 1967? And he got away with those lyrics...? WOW. But man, what a voice~ I love 'No Regrets' as well~ but this is so different! Thanks for the lyrics, as well as the upload. Top job. ^^

    He says Juniper (as in the berry) not Jupiter (as in the old Roman God of Gods). I don't see why he'd need to avoid saying "god" but it wouldn't fit the music - the French original is "Même si on m'appelle Dieu le Père" or "Even if they call me God the Father" - the extra syllables mean "Juniper" fits better than just "god". Even if he chose Jupiter, it's a name of a god from a religion that pre-dates Christianity and I doubt there are many active followers :)
