The thing is, if you play the Rita Mitsouko at a party in France today, everyone will dance. Their music has not aged. You srill want to get up and dance whatever age you are.
I tried to translate better the lyrics: Hey, Andy? Hey, Andy! It's a friend of mine who told me you were named Andy! I've been following you for a while, Andy! Hey, do you want to come to my home ? Or we can go to yours! Come on, Andy, tell me yes! Honey, Andy, tell me yes, Andy ! Honey, Andy, tell me yes, darling ! The weather is worsening Andy is upset about that Andy takes his umbrella Andy scratches the corner of his brow It's Andy Cap p Yes it's him Honey, Andy, tell me yes, Andy ! Honey, Andy, tell me yes, oh yes ! Andy hurries Andy is suspicious Andy hasn't made up his mind Does he want this ? Andy looks at the girl and smiles Andy is a polite boy Andy hasn't made up his mind Andy is suspicious Andy hurries And goes back home Andy always avoided trouble Andy hurries and is suspicious

This takes me back to when I was 18 and spent a summer in France, living in a small medieval hilltop village. At the bottom of the hill, there was a bar/restaurant that had a jukebox. This is how I discovered Les Rita Mitsuko, hanging out with french teenagers in the the middle of the countryside. Thanks for the memories!

Hi Dereck! I notice that you're becoming the most French of the American!!! lol Do you know this week you reacted on 5 French artists or groups?? Indochine, France Gall, Mylène Farmer, Alizée and now The Rita Misouko! It's the first time that you do the same and it shows us that you love our artists and our culture as well as French singers. It's INCREDIBLE and you're AMAZING everytime dude! We like it a lot and we appreciate it! Keep it up!!! Rita Mitsouko have always been a "special", completely crazy and atypical group, whether in the music or the way they dress. Already at the time they denoted in the musical landscape and no one else looked like them. This song released in June 1986 ( at the same time as side B "Un Soir, Un Chien" :" One Evening, A Dog") and taken from their second album " The No Comprendo" released in September 1986. It refers to Andy Capp, hero of an eponymous comic book created by English author Reg Smythe. The video is directed by Philippe Gautier, in English and French versions. Do you konow an English Version exists?? link here : ua-cam.com/video/aGupRQiBjTM/v-deo.html . For the NEXT REACT I advise you a "duo" with The Sparks ( An American group since 70's), the song "Singing In The Shower" in 1988 (my favorite one!) taken from " Marc Et Robert" album. Link here : ua-cam.com/video/T6gwIgsHMis/v-deo.html , and Le Petit Train (The Little Train) the same year, a song about the deportation of Jewish people to extermination camps. Link : ua-cam.com/video/Pn5X4_JCJgg/v-deo.html . If you like french music, another group but different (you already reacted on 'em): NIAGARA with L'Amour A la Plage, Je Dois M'En Aller, Quand La Ville Dort (New Version 1987), Assez!, Soleil D'Hiver (my favorite one!), Flammes De L'Enfer (lots of brass instruments!), J'Ai Vu (more rock!), Pendant Que Les Champs Brûlent, Psychotrope (more rock!), La Vie Est Peut-Etre Belle (New Version 1991), La Fin Des Etoiles. Thanks Dereck!
It's so fun to see you discover the Rita Mistsouko again ! Les Rita Mitsouko were really big in France, if you put on one of their hits at a party everybody will scream all the lyrics. They are all cult classics here :) I would love to see you react to "les amants" and "la sorcière et l'inquisiteur" (this one is much more recent)
Yes it's clearly a pleasure to see someone discovering the Rita. I can't really remember what a shock it can be because I was 15 in 1986 when all my generation (and all the France) was caught by the power of the Rita. And it is still played in parties because it's so entertaining 25 years later ! (my god 25 ...)
I was young in the eighties and i remember when the Rita's appeared in the french musical landscape : at last a french group ( with french lyrics) who brought a fresh air, something new , more creative , original and in some way "underground" than the mainstream singers we could hear on the radio at this time. And also their visual universe was new, their first clips were made by one of the best french clipmaker of the moment; yes it was a little weird , but so unconventionnal :-) . Fred Chichin died a few years ago, but Catherine is still there and always a great singer ! Have a good day.
I never saw them perform together :'( I was in the attendance at the enventually cancelled concert in Montreux a few years ago.... Fred went to "Les Vieilles Charrues" the day after, performed, and died a very few days later. Sad memories :'(
En parlant de groupe français underground et peu conventionnel des années 80-90, il y a aussi Billy the Kick, mais c'est un groupe à texte malgré tout, du coup je ne sais pas si beaucoup de monde accroche...(Personnellement c'est la nostalgie qui parle).
Thank you bro, to show our music to american people. Most of american don't listen our music because they don't understand our language. In the same time, most of french listen american music without understand english.🇫🇷🇺🇸
@@julienbraudel7109 exagéré de quoi? Il est devenu célèbre en France avec ce morceau vendu à 150 000 exemplaires, c'est pas rien pour l'époque. Et il est resté connu essentiellement pour ça.
Next Rita Mitsouko suggestion: "Le petit train" (The little train). Despite the joyful tune and the bollywood style video, this song is about the Holocaust.
Hi. I like what you are doing here. You are the only one non french reviewing 80s french song, you are at the avant garde on this :) Btw if you love those french vibes i can give you few titles, enjoy! Niagara - tchiki boum Niagara - l'amour a la plage Ottawan - t'es ok Images - les démons de minuit Mader - macumba
That was a worldwide hit even in te U.S. in French, a rare occurence. And what a video, she had that haircut after making a film with Godard "Soignes ta droite" which you should look up. It covers the making of the album, and other experiments...
Thanks a million Dereck. You actually previously said "awkwardly addictive" and you are right. I have been addicted since I was 15 y.o . I am now 47... From France with love. Indeed "le p'tit train" must be the next one please. (And check the real hidden meaning of the song). Keep it up, you rock!
Hi! I re-discovered "Le petit train" by watching the video a couple of weeks ago. I didn't know and care what the song was about when I was a teen (and hey, I'm 47 too! :-) ), but now that I know, it's been haunting me. It kept playing in my head all through the Christmas holidays. The tune, Catherine's voice, ah, it's fabulous.
At the time this music was edited I liked it but I didn't realize how genius and crazy they were. Now 40 years later, I am simply blown away of how amazing, créative, complexe they are.
Basically the song is about a girl asking a guy (Andy) out. She wants him to say yes, asks if they should go to his place or hers/ and his reaction: he’s wary, generally runs from situations, scratches his head etc and she keeps asking him to say yes.
please if you want artists that left a mark on the french scene, you have to listen to Serge Gainsbourg, some songs that I like : Je t'aime moi non plus, Je suis venu te dire que je m'en vais, Ballade de Melody Nelson, Initials B.B.. His career spans several generations so don't be surprised to discover many different genre
He coverred some Niagara Song a while ago (L'amour à la plage, if i remember correctly), but "J'ai vu" is so iconic :) "Pendant que les champs brûlent" it gives quite a wide perspective on what Niagara was in terms of pop rock impact :)
The booklet of the CD says: Catherine Ringer: keyboard - midi-brass - guitar - vocal Fred Chichin: keyboard - guitar - bass - drum - vocal Tony Visconti: contre-bass No other musicians are listed.
I like your reactions a lot. It's great to hear french bands reacted to. My only critic would be to find good translations. The songs have meanings but it seems you have google translations witch are containing lots of errors.
I'm french and it's so LOL to see you hearing Rita Mitsuko for the first time !! Try Michel Polnareff "lettre à France" it's the story of a french guy living in New York ... Very old but very good ... And try Michel Berger his one of the best in french music history and it's him who Wright the songs for France Gall (ex: Ella) , try Michel Berger "la groupi du pianiste" and after "Chanter pour ceux" . Ciao Bros 🤙
The lyrics of the song were inspired by Andy Capp the English comic strip character created by cartoonist Reg Smythe. Try "Triton" by Rita Mitsouko sometime, it's amazing too.
Surtout Les Histoires d'A, c'est avec Andy et C'est comme ça les trois grands succès de l'album "Les Rita Mitsouko présentent The No Comprendo". Mais il y a aussi Triton, sur "La femme Trombone" qui est pas mal
Since you seem to be into french pop from the 80s, yeah les Rita Mitsouko was quite something. But this song reminds me of the other ill-love songs on french pop of the 80s. I'm talking about: Etienne by Patti Guesch. Look for the music video.
@Pierre Maillet Loin de moi l'idée de les mettre au même niveau ! C'est juste pour diversifier l'offre avant de tomber à Début de Soirée, puis aux Musclés et enfin à Licence IV 😂
You liked France Gall, written by Michel Berger, try "SOS d'un terrien en détresse" the original version sung by Daniel Balavoine, that should give you goose bumps like you rarely had before
It please me too see a react channel outside the "classics" and listen music from my country and my childhood. I really enjoy your reaction ;). Few titles : M - Machistador (late 90' but as weird-good as Rita Mitsouko) Michel Polnareff - TOUT TOUT POUR MA CHERIE (or any titles from him ex : Goodbye Marylou) Jean-Jacques Goldman - Au bout de mes rêves (and Quand la musique est bonne) Téléphone - Ça (C'est Vraiment Toi) ( the first real french rock band ) Noir Désir - Un Jour En France (the other rock band in france ^^) almost forgot IAM - Je danse le Mia (because the beat is soo good)
En fait cette chanson parle d' Andy un personnage de dessin animé. Les paroles sont moins absurdes quand on le sait ☺ Tout comme leur chanson " le petit train " qui parle des trains allemands pour déporter les prisonniers dans les camps de concentration dont le père de Catherine Ringer a fait parti. Quand on le sait on voit les choses autrement. C' est leur force aux Rita Mitsouko. Aborder des thèmes de manière unique .
Ummmm Dereck, I know you said you couldn't find some other information about the song! And that you only found Dance Club chart being a hit at number 11 But it was also a hit in the French singles chart getting in the top 20 a well :-)
hi Dereck! Another really cool react! I suggest you " Le petit train" from the same artists. Also very weird and creative video! And the lyrics are trully unexpected!
Best Rita Mitsouko music videos to review next by order of preference: - Singing in the shower (with british duo Sparks) : ua-cam.com/video/T6gwIgsHMis/v-deo.html a freaking glorious song. - Le petit train : ua-cam.com/video/Pn5X4_JCJgg/v-deo.html it's a seemingly happy song, but with dark undertones in the chorus, and then BAM! you realize she os talking about her father's deportation in the nazi camps and it's an unbelievable hit in the gut. - Les histoires d'a : ua-cam.com/video/ln0VwCqMkcA/v-deo.html "Love songs end badly, generally" Preach. - Ya d'la haine : ua-cam.com/video/hFrDuPhrs-k/v-deo.html - Les amants : ua-cam.com/video/FwllzZuzz58/v-deo.html
One thing that might be weird from a foreign perspective when you discover the Rita Mitsouko is when you find out how, for all their weird lyrics, post-punk aesthetics and general lack of artistic compromise they were universally beloved in France. People of all ages, cultural background and general taste loved them and respected their work. It really struck a chord with the french id.
hi de france ca c is pure rita mitsouko product. do not try too much for the lyrics we even do not manage to understand everything lol. But they are completely "crossed out" crazy sick ect and that's what they liked about them. that's why we love them.
It’s a song about Andy Capp (a cartoon character)
ça fait bizarre de voir un commentaire d'e-penser sur du react mais ça fait plaisir :D
Ah bon ! de quel dessin animé du coup ?
@@coquelicotdefrance2726 Pas de dessin animé, mais de BD, du même nom ;)

The thing is, if you play the Rita Mitsouko at a party in France today, everyone will dance. Their music has not aged. You srill want to get up and dance whatever age you are.
Danse AND sing with!!!
Vrai ! Coïncidence je viens de tweet que bcp oublis que fred chichin était un des meilleurs guitaristes au monde

I tried to translate better the lyrics:
Hey, Andy? Hey, Andy!
It's a friend of mine who told me you were named Andy!
I've been following you for a while, Andy!
Hey, do you want to come to my home ?
Or we can go to yours!
Come on, Andy, tell me yes!
Honey, Andy, tell me yes, Andy !
Honey, Andy, tell me yes, darling !
The weather is worsening
Andy is upset about that
Andy takes his umbrella
Andy scratches the corner of his brow
It's Andy Cap
p
Yes it's him
Honey, Andy, tell me yes, Andy !
Honey, Andy, tell me yes, oh yes !
Andy hurries
Andy is suspicious
Andy hasn't made up his mind
Does he want this ?
Andy looks at the girl and smiles
Andy is a polite boy
Andy hasn't made up his mind
Andy is suspicious
Andy hurries
And goes back home
Andy always avoided trouble
Andy hurries
and is suspicious

THE SENSE OF THE SONG IS SIMPLE: IT IS A GIRL IN LOVE WITH A GUY AFRAID OF IT.
I love when you use the word "bizarre" because this word is so french! It's the perfect word for this song !!!
My suggestions by them: "Les histoires d'A", "C'est comme ca" and their collaboration with the magnificent Sparks "Singing in the Shower"
Le petit train. Amazing song about the Aushwitz and Birkenau trains of death.
"C'est comme ça" already done.

Merci pour les sous-titres français 😘 j’adore tes vidéos

I like your reactions a lot. It's great to hear french bands reacted to. My only critic would be to find good translations. The songs have meanings but it seems you have google translations witch are containing lots of errors.
Siouxsie and the Banshees "Peek-a-Boo" was the reaction where you last referred to the movie Toys.
You will love « nuit d’ivresse » by Rita mitsouko and « pendant que les champs brûlent » by Niagara
Ah oui ! +1 pour « pendant que les champs brûlent » !
A piece of art. Great
I'm french and it's so LOL to see you hearing Rita Mitsuko for the first time !! Try Michel Polnareff "lettre à France" it's the story of a french guy living in New York ... Very old but very good ... And try Michel Berger his one of the best in french music history and it's him who Wright the songs for France Gall (ex: Ella) , try Michel Berger "la groupi du pianiste" and after "Chanter pour ceux" . Ciao Bros 🤙
The lyrics of the song were inspired by Andy Capp the English comic strip character created by cartoonist Reg Smythe. Try "Triton" by Rita Mitsouko sometime, it's amazing too.

The shoes are the exact copy of the Minnie Mouse's shoes !
I love you !
React to Sandra: "I'll never be Maria Magdalena" and "In the heat of the night", she has an incredible voice
Rita's Bizarre Adventures ^^
In the lets-get-nuts artists you may want to check Richard Gotainer (Chipie, Le Youki, Le Mambo du Décalco...)
PRIMITIF!
Not sure he will survive the trip 🤣🥳
Dunno why, I've always heard Zappa's sound in this one (for something else than the song's name off course)
You really need to find a better source for the lyrics translation. The song actually makes senses in French. :)
It please me too see a react channel outside the "classics" and listen music from my country and my childhood. I really enjoy your reaction ;).
Few titles :
M - Machistador (late 90' but as weird-good as Rita Mitsouko)
Michel Polnareff - TOUT TOUT POUR MA CHERIE (or any titles from him ex : Goodbye Marylou)
Jean-Jacques Goldman - Au bout de mes rêves (and Quand la musique est bonne)
Téléphone - Ça (C'est Vraiment Toi) ( the first real french rock band )
Noir Désir - Un Jour En France (the other rock band in france ^^)
almost forgot
IAM - Je danse le Mia (because the beat is soo good)
Yes check Machistador. Super late 90's (2010 :D )
(Mais Super conseil quand même vinz ;) )
@@leiolevan9527 2010 ? I watched him play it live in 1999 (damn i feel old now)
AMAZING group 🤩🤩🤩 I wasn't even 10 years old when this song came out. Thanks to you to be able to appreciate these 2 great artists😍😍😍

Catherine & Fred Forever 💎💫💎
Derek the song refers to a comic
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Capp
En fait cette chanson parle d' Andy un personnage de dessin animé.
Les paroles sont moins absurdes quand on le sait ☺
Tout comme leur chanson " le petit train " qui parle des trains allemands pour déporter les prisonniers dans les camps de concentration dont le père de Catherine Ringer a fait parti.
Quand on le sait on voit les choses autrement.
C' est leur force aux Rita Mitsouko. Aborder des thèmes de manière unique .
Ummmm Dereck, I know you said you couldn't find some other information about the song!
And that you only found Dance Club chart being a hit at number 11
But it was also a hit in the French singles chart getting in the top 20 a well :-)
Dereck dis moi oui.........
Chou dereck lol dis moi oui cette fois ci....lol.. Svp
Humour évidemment...
Tell me Yes ! Andy!
My friend, I think you got it, if you want to understand and like the Rita Mitsouko you can only do it from the constant experiementation
hi Dereck! Another really cool react! I suggest you " Le petit train" from the same artists. Also very weird and creative video! And the lyrics are trully unexpected!
Another video-hit in English-speaking Canada by them. This made the rounds on most video programmes.
Other old cool french song for you :
"Louise attaque j't'emmene au vent"
"noir desir aux sombres heros de l'amer"
Oui !!!!!!!
Va aider à traduire le "sombre héros de l'amer"....😶 🤕
PUN
I adore 😍😍😍😍😍
I Dereck you must react to another Rita Mitsouko : singing in the shower ..
Good idea. Singing in the Shower is from their up following album “Marc et Robert”.
Yes, great duet song with Sparks
And also nuit d’ivresse
Fantastic track indeed with a great & creative video 💫💫💫💫
Best Rita Mitsouko music videos to review next by order of preference:
- Singing in the shower (with british duo Sparks) : ua-cam.com/video/T6gwIgsHMis/v-deo.html
a freaking glorious song.
- Le petit train : ua-cam.com/video/Pn5X4_JCJgg/v-deo.html
it's a seemingly happy song, but with dark undertones in the chorus, and then BAM! you realize she os talking about her father's deportation in the nazi camps and it's an unbelievable hit in the gut.

"Love songs end badly, generally" Preach.

One thing that might be weird from a foreign perspective when you discover the Rita Mitsouko is when you find out how, for all their weird lyrics, post-punk aesthetics and general lack of artistic compromise they were universally beloved in France. People of all ages, cultural background and general taste loved them and respected their work. It really struck a chord with the french id.
Hello, suggestions : Axel Bauer : cargo and Bandolero : paris latino.
try "Hip Kit" and "Singing in The Shower".
hi de france ca c is pure rita mitsouko product. do not try too much for the lyrics we even do not manage to understand everything lol. But they are completely "crossed out" crazy sick ect and that's what they liked about them. that's why we love them.
Crazy you like a crazy group.
