Hi. I am the UA-camr whose video you analyzed. Thank you very much, it was very funny… and sorry for not making you laugh too much with my elderly character (from Wish...) 🤣🤣 vous avez droit 😉 C’est ÇA qu’on veut !
In French they are called Schtroumpfs (Socks in German), and they were first published in French and in Dutch back in the 60s. I used to read them when I was a kid in the 70s... Way before they were adapted to the American audience...
I remember when I was invited to Americans family friends in New York. They told me, proudly « hear that famous song « my way », which is an emblematic typically New Yorker song »…. I still remember their face when I told them it was a song from a famous disco french singer. They decomposed themselves
I'm french and to be honest it's okay, In our lives even if we do something grandiose we have to share it's always better than keep to ourselves So I think it's a cool thing
Par ailleurs, la vague des yéyés s'appelle ainsi à cause du nombre astronomique de chansons anglophones adaptées en français dans les années 60. It goes both ways...
Salut l’ami, pour une fois c’est un français qui va préciser un petit point qui n’est pas si anodin, ce n’est pas « pour la France » mais « pour la Francophonie ». Monsieur Brel était Belge (et fière de l’être), le dessinateur des schtroumpfs également 😉
Plaisir de voir ça ❤ Du coup il te faudrait des réactions aux Schtroumpfs (c'est belge francophone) et à Trust "antisocial" pour commencer 😊 tu comprendra que les francophones ne t'aient pas demandé d'antrax Merci beaucoup pour toutes tes réactions à la decouverte de la France Lumière sur vous pour cette période ❤
Nowadays we almost no longer hear adaptations of American hits in France. But in the 60s and 70s it didn't stop. And we should not confuse between adaptation and song cover.
Most of French songs in the sixties were taken from American standards, it was very fashionable then. Singers would change their names to american souding ones (Jonnhy Hallyday is by far the most famous one, Dick Rivers, Eddy Mitchell) and adapt the songs in French. The Locomotion, House of the Rising Sun and so on... I was going to say Black is Black, but that one is actually a Spanish song, originally :-). We even have a name for that period in French music : Les Yéyés (because singers would add Yeah-Yeah in the Lyrics).
Music is meant to be shared. I'm glad other countries enjoy French compositions. Also, "French" music lives a lot because of other French speaking artists (Brel, Stromae, Céline Dion, Johnny Halliday and so on).
The members of Anthrax were absolutely fans of Trust. In their 1989 EP "Penikufesin", two of the six tracks are Trust covers. “Antisocial” (sung in French) and “Sects” (Les sectes). Fun fact, when Anthrax released "Antisocial" in 1987, Iron Maiden had also planned this cover and dropped out. Another fun fact, Iron Maiden drummer Nico McBrain left Trust in 1982 to join... Iron Maiden. A less fun fact, the singer of Trust and the singer of ACDC were very good friends. On February 18, 1980 in a recording studio in London, Bon Scott joined Bernie Bonvoisin to jam and then met to party in the evening. Meanwhile, Trust managers arrive from Paris to celebrate Trust's first gold record. Everyone leaves the studio to celebrate and, a little later, Bon Scott finds the place empty and goes to party on his own. The next morning he was found dead in a car. I tend to think that, if Trust hadn't been successful, Bon Scott might still be alive. Bad karma 😑.
@@SonOfBaraki359 Absoluemment, en échange de Clive Burr. 👍 D'ailleurs, sur Wikipedia ils parlent de 1983 mais Nico lui même avance la date précise du 5 juin 1982 losqu'il a quitté Trust... pour ne pas dire qu'il a plutôt été jeté dehors 😑.
C'est une bonne chose que les musiques soient adaptées dans d'autres pays, ça fait vivre l'intention de l'auteur à un public qu'il n'aurait probablement pas touché sans ça.
Les Schtoumpfs (The smurfs) et Jaques Brel, c'est pas français mais belge ! ;) Stromae et Angèle, aussi (Lara Fabian, Axel Red, Jhonñy Hallyday, Benny B, ....)
@@PhoenixSinhopsysTV je sais tout ça...mais il n a jamais pris la nationalité Belge et globalement sa vie était plutôt en France. Perso je m'en fous qu'il soit français ou belge, c'est juste que le mythe comme quoi il était belge m'énerve. Et à l'inverse j'aime pas que des français essaient de s'approprier des artistes Belges ou suisses
Yes, we have the Smurfs in France under their original name of Schtroumpfs, because it's a creation by Peyo (1928-1992) who was from Belgium. Jacques Brel was also from Belgium.
Elvis Presley a aussi repris "Plaisir d'amour" dans "I can't help falling in love". Rod McKuen a repris " Le moribond "de Jacques Brel dans " Season's in the sun " chanté par Terry Jacks. Les Everly Brothers, Bob Dylan et bien d'autres ont repris " Je t'appartiens " de Gilbert Bécaud sous le titre " Let it be me ".
Anthrax guys only paid respect to Trust, they were fans. Some years later they invited to play with them the main members of the French band that split in 1985, an doing so they motivated Trust to reform. This cover not only was a tribute but also a piece of appreciation that motivated one of our greatest rock band to come back. I like Trust a lot and I'm nothing but grateful for this cover. There's really nothing to apologize for.
Hi sir, for information, smurf are from Belgium and are way known in France long before it was exported in USA. Kiss from France, and continue, it just awesome to find you discover our culture
Ray Charles et Nicoletta était amis c'est pour cela qu'il a adapté et chanté il est mort le soleil. De toutes les manières tout le monde se copient pour le plus grand plaisir de tous
In France we did the same so many times that I can't count . For example Claude François released in autumn 1963 "Si j'avais un marteau". it's a cover of the song If I Had a Hammer. From everything you heard during this video you MUST make reactions to TRUST = Anti social, Police milice, Au Nom de la Race, Le Mitard
What is most ironic is that the song "Auprès de ma blonde" which became a children's rhyme was originally a rhythmic marching song for the troops of the King of France. Besides, when you put drums there, it leaves no doubt.
well... there is an obvious one: the "French" musical: "Notre Dame de Paris" (the hunchback of Notre Dame) was adapted in so many languages... from Italian to Korean, from Russian to English, in Spanish, German etc etc btw, the quotes around French are because it's about the language, many original participants being Quebecquois
Well maybe not much now but most big hits songs here in France in the 70's and 80's were shameless covers from US and UK hits... And sometimes not always authorized...
The song Le Moribond by Jacques Brel was converted into Seasons in the Suns by the Beach Boys. The classic Les Feuilles Mortes by Yves Montand was converted into the jazzy standard Autumn Leaves The song Le monde est stone by Fabienne Thibeault ( Michel Berger) became The World is stone in the english cover by Cindy Lauper. And so many more. But the reverse is even more frequent TBH.
There were plenty of US songs used in French versions too. The difference is the French are aware of this while Americans all think everything comes from US
“Stealing” music is likely as old as music itself. One of the most prolific (and famous) musicians in history, Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), was dead against the spread of printed press, as he thought it would enable large-scale theft of his work. He wasn’t wrong somehow but more than anything this anecdote points at how difficult it is to define music. Interesting to note that in musical terms a piece (like an opera, for instance) is said to have been created when it’s been performed for the first time, not when the composer considers he’s done with writing it. Pieces can be created years, decades and sometimes centuries after they were written and composed. To sum it up, it’s a tricky challenge to define theft of something that doesn’t reality exist until the stealing is complete.
Depuis le début des années 2000 et la vague de house music, le monde ne prend plus seulement nos chansons mais directement nos artistes comme DAFT PUNK (one more time ;) ) ou encore David Guetta ou encore Martin Solveig ! This is the french touch man ! :)
Of course, we have a lot on our side that come from the USA too, especially songs from the fifties/sixties. For instance : Johnny Halliday - Les Portes du Pénitencier (titre original : The Animals, The House of the Rising Sun) Nicoletta - La Musique (Barry Man - Angelica) Claude François - Cette année là (Frankie Valli & the Four Seasons - Oh What a Night) Dalida - Le Petit Gonzales (David Hess - Speedy Gonzales)
oui vous avez raison mais il a fait toute sa carrière en France , et il n'était pas très aimé des belges Flament , suite à une chanson , se moquant d'eux , la chanson s'appelle justement les Flament
@@didiers62 Certes, il a fait carrière en France comme beaucoup d'artistes belges pour la simple (et mystérieuse) raison qu'il n'y avait pas de maisons de disques en Belgique. Tout artiste qui voulait "percer" se devait de s'expatrier. Mais concernant Brel, c'est son esprit qui était bien plus belge que français, où qu'il soit. Quand à sa chanson "Les Flamandes", en effet, elle n'a pas beaucoup plu aux Flamands. Il s'est plus tard fait pardonner d'eux avec sa merveilleuse chanson "De Bruges à Gand".
Je rajouterai un oublie impardonnable de la vidéo française, The Good Life chanté par Tony Bennett en 1963, sorti en France en 1962 sous le titre Marina. La musique de The Good Life est française, elle est composée et interprèté à la guitare par Sacha Distel un artiste français. En revanche les paroles sont américaines, elles sont de Jack Reardon. Même chose pour The windmills of your mind, pour les paroles c’est Andy et Marilyn Bergman deux auteurs américains, pour la musique...Michel Legrand un compositeur français. Moralité quand les français et les américains fond quelque chose ensemble ”ils cassent la baraque”
Yes, Franck Sinatra 's "My way" is a cover of "Comme d' habitude". But Claude François ' song is a rearranged version of an American song wich I think has unfortunately got no success by its time.
Місяць тому
80's/90"s Euro Dance is the sample pool for many American rapper/singer since 10 years. Kanye West sampled Daft Punk !!!!!
The French didn't "stole" two or three American songs, but almost ALL their great titles, especially in the 60s ! ("D", your French is really good... 👍)
Better to make a rectification. he uses the verb fly giving him here the meaning of reprise (or cover) just to say that great American artists (and others) have so much enjoyed some of our most beautiful francophone songs, they’ve made them their own cover And don’t worry, in the 60ties, almost all the French Yéyé stars were doing the same with American standards
Bonjour d'Occitanie (France) Frank Cotty analyse pas mal de chanson, c'est même amusant quand il corrige des paroles écrite dans un français approximatif, ou le sens caché des chansons... Il a fait une vidéo sur des reprises de chansons anglaise par des chanteurs français. La chanson comme d'habitude reste un mystère elle a été écrite par Gilles Thibaut et Claude François et composé par Jacques Revaux et Claude François.
@@XiaoVeen Because it often seen like a lazy habit when it’s done by the most famous artists, and it’s sometimes true, I mean at least in terms of of originality and creativity. In the « mainstream business » what makes an artist, a great artist, it’s his ability to create original pieces while being productive at the same time. The truth is that it is almost impossible, so in order to stay in the race they do adaptations. By the way covers like you said are something normal these days, but back in the days when called an adaptation it was different because even if was normally done with the agreement of the artists, it was done in secret, the credits were written in small on the of the track, everything was done to hide it to the their fans because it wasn’t accepted like it is today, even if most of them were already doing it. The myth of the genius who writing, and singing all of his songs stronger than now, although there was many really famous songwriters, but unlike today originality was still something important for the consumer, so the artists and their labels were trying their best to feed the myth
"Vous êtes droit" I believe you mean 'vous avez raison' : you are right ? ;) With all due respect, Jacques Brel was from Belgium, the french speaking ;)
In the sixties we use to steal all american songs. Nowadays we just listen to the original songs, even the covers still are in english most of the time.
There is just a little mistake, "Auprès de ma blaonde", before becoming a song for kids.... it was a military song done by the french King Louis the 14th to justify the war with Netherlands... The song relates the story of french wives which have lost their husbands, trapped and killed by the Dutch... It was the song of a company of the second regiments I served in (5th infantry regiment called "Navarre", created in 1494... retired in 1997)... And yes, this company was marching military singing the "Auprès de ma blonde" ua-cam.com/video/mvaixjuT3HQ/v-deo.html - recent video from army ua-cam.com/video/bTnsuMapE2c/v-deo.html - with english translation ua-cam.com/video/ryk5HSKfO4o/v-deo.html - as it was played in the old time of "Sun King" (Louis XIV) ua-cam.com/video/uZrTvl_e_t0/v-deo.html - to show that it was truly a military march ;) Thanks for your reactions, keep up the good work...
Enfin c'est bien gentille de s'auto-congratuler mais rien que les reprise des chanteur yéyé dans les années 60's y doit d'en avoir plus de 1000 covers de chansons anglophones reprise par toute cette generation de chanteurs
"Anglophone" when you refer to Shakira ? Really, ? She is Colombian ! And by the way she speaks fluently 6 languages (I ama bit jealous with only 4) and sings "je l'aime à mourir" on her very unique style which gives me goose bumps ! She is way more talented than some fools imagine...
@@zeeldaazoonk Some do indeed, but that doesn't make them of French nationality; the Flemish (some sort of Dutch) speaking Belgians are not Dutch and the German speaking Belgians are not Germans ... ;o)
Please look into Michel Polnareff, e.g. "Âmes Calines" (has been covered as an instrumental in the US) or "Le Bal De Laze". A genius composer. By the way, "you're right" is "vous avez raison" (not "vous êtes droit"). xD Of course, American songs have been covered in French, too. Johnny Halliday did it a lot, but also others. The Germans did it as well, it was even systematic in the 1960s and 1970s, almost EVERY English language hit was covered by German artists.
oui vous avez raison , il y avait un chanteur qui s'en était fait une spécialité , richard Anthony , le mec a fait tout une carrière en pompant les titre anglo-saxon .
12:30 in French we « pris le doigt dans le pot de confiture » or more often « pris la main dans le sac » when someone is being catch in the act, so he can’t deny. But I am not sure that is what you were talking about
The expression "the proof is in the pudding" is an alteration of an older saying that makes the saying a bit clearer "🙂the proof of the pudding is in the eating"
Stolen is not the word, it's just covers or adaptations and it's no problem, very current in music. The thing is that french origin (or others countries) of american hits is not known, while on the contrary we know well in France that lots of songs are Anglo-Saxon in origin 😏
French people like english songs, we have not the need to translate it. We can understand it and even when we don't undersand we like the rythm. But Americans people doesn't listen to anything if it's not their language, I don't know why, it's bad for them, they miss a lot of things... except when an american artist buy the rights and translate it of course... and since few Americans are interested in artists from other countries, they will never know.

oui vous avez raison mais il a fait toute sa carrière en France , et il n'était pas très aimé des belges Flament , suite à une chanson , se moquant d'eux , la chanson s'appelle justement les Flament
@@didiers62 exact 👍
@@didiers62 Certes, il a fait carrière en France comme beaucoup d'artistes belges pour la simple (et mystérieuse) raison qu'il n'y avait pas de maisons de disques en Belgique. Tout artiste qui voulait "percer" se devait de s'expatrier.
Mais concernant Brel, c'est son esprit qui était bien plus belge que français, où qu'il soit.
Quand à sa chanson "Les Flamandes", en effet, elle n'a pas beaucoup plu aux Flamands. Il s'est plus tard fait pardonner d'eux avec sa merveilleuse chanson "De Bruges à Gand".
Je rajouterai un oublie impardonnable de la vidéo française, The Good Life chanté par Tony Bennett en 1963, sorti en France en 1962 sous le titre Marina. La musique de The Good Life est française, elle est composée et interprèté à la guitare par Sacha Distel un artiste français. En revanche les paroles sont américaines, elles sont de Jack Reardon. Même chose pour The windmills of your mind, pour les paroles c’est Andy et Marilyn Bergman deux auteurs américains, pour la musique...Michel Legrand un compositeur français. Moralité quand les français et les américains fond quelque chose ensemble ”ils cassent la baraque”
Yes, Franck Sinatra 's "My way" is a cover of "Comme d' habitude". But Claude François ' song is a rearranged version of an American song wich I think has unfortunately got no success by its time.
80's/90"s Euro Dance is the sample pool for many American rapper/singer since 10 years.
Kanye West sampled Daft Punk !!!!!
Who knew?
Well, ALL of France and Belgium for starters?
The Smurfs, i.e., les Schtrompfs are Belgian!
The French didn't "stole" two or three American songs, but almost ALL their great titles, especially in the 60s ! ("D", your French is really good... 👍)
Better to make a rectification. he uses the verb fly giving him here the meaning of reprise (or cover)
just to say that great American artists (and others) have so much enjoyed some of our most beautiful francophone songs, they’ve made them their own cover
And don’t worry, in the 60ties, almost all the French Yéyé stars were doing the same with American standards
Bonjour d'Occitanie (France)
Frank Cotty analyse pas mal de chanson, c'est même amusant quand il corrige des paroles écrite dans un français approximatif, ou le sens caché des chansons... Il a fait une vidéo sur des reprises de chansons anglaise par des chanteurs français. La chanson comme d'habitude reste un mystère elle a été écrite par Gilles Thibaut et Claude François et composé par Jacques Revaux et Claude François.
Merci beaucoup
L'inverse est vrai aussi.
I don't see why a cover should be considered dishonest. Permission is requested from the author and he receives royalties, that's all.
@@XiaoVeen Because it often seen like a lazy habit when it’s done by the most famous artists, and it’s sometimes true, I mean at least in terms of of originality and creativity.
In the « mainstream business » what makes an artist, a great artist, it’s his ability to create original pieces while being productive at the same time. The truth is that it is almost impossible, so in order to stay in the race they do adaptations. By the way covers like you said are something normal these days, but back in the days when called an adaptation it was different because even if was normally done with the agreement of the artists, it was done in secret, the credits were written in small on the of the track, everything was done to hide it to the their fans because it wasn’t accepted like it is today, even if most of them were already doing it. The myth of the genius who writing, and singing all of his songs stronger than now, although there was many really famous songwriters, but unlike today originality was still something important for the consumer, so the artists and their labels were trying their best to feed the myth
Why would someone ever remake Amsterdam ? This masterpiece cannot be imitaded
Peut-être parcque David Bowie l'a fait magistralement ... 😂
"Vous êtes droit" I believe you mean 'vous avez raison' : you are right ? ;) With all due respect, Jacques Brel was from Belgium, the french speaking ;)
Antisocial ❤❤❤. Ca marche aussi dans votre langue. NOUS SOMMES TOUS. ?!😢😮😅😊. J’aime le monde...
❤
It is a right-being influencer 😂
Don't worry french singers also make covers from american songs 🤗
Smurf / schtroumpf et Jacques Brel sont belges 😊
We did the same. Don't worry
In the sixties we use to steal all american songs. Nowadays we just listen to the original songs, even the covers still are in english most of the time.
Forgetting is one of the symptoms of being exposed to ..; anthrax (the gas)
Rassurez vous les français ont aussi pris aussi des chansons anglophones...
@@michel2075 Des titres ?
@@eponine4349 pratiquement toutes celles qu’il a cité viennent en réalité des usa
frencg loves punk culture no worries
There is just a little mistake, "Auprès de ma blaonde", before becoming a song for kids.... it was a military song done by the french King Louis the 14th to justify the war with Netherlands... The song relates the story of french wives which have lost their husbands, trapped and killed by the Dutch... It was the song of a company of the second regiments I served in (5th infantry regiment called "Navarre", created in 1494... retired in 1997)... And yes, this company was marching military singing the "Auprès de ma blonde"

Thanks for your reactions, keep up the good work...
Enfin c'est bien gentille de s'auto-congratuler mais rien que les reprise des chanteur yéyé dans les années 60's y doit d'en avoir plus de 1000 covers de chansons anglophones reprise par toute cette generation de chanteurs
"Cover" = "reprise" en français
Il a fait des vidéos sur tout donc c'est déjà passé
C'est pas faux 😂
1000 , ça me semble beaucoup
Et donc, on a pas le droit d'en parler ??
It's a two-way street... Look for "Le Pénitencier" by Johnny Halliday, tell me you don't know where it comes from..
Jacques Brel is not French🇫🇷, but Belgium🇧🇪
I know one WE stole a long Time ago... It was called sacré dollar. In englisH green back a dollar I THINK
In french we don't say " vous êtes droit " we said " vous avez raison "
The proof is in the pudding=c est à l oeuvre que l on connait l artisan..
"Anglophone" when you refer to Shakira ? Really, ? She is Colombian ! And by the way she speaks fluently 6 languages (I ama bit jealous with only 4) and sings "je l'aime à mourir" on her very unique style which gives me goose bumps ! She is way more talented than some fools imagine...
We don't have smurfs we MADE smurfs with the Belgiums
Of course the smurf are french ! Here the are called Schtroumpfs which means socks in Germany
Nope, they are Belgian!
@@micade2518 I know but belgian speaks french
@@zeeldaazoonk Some do indeed, but that doesn't make them of French nationality; the Flemish (some sort of Dutch) speaking Belgians are not Dutch and the German speaking Belgians are not Germans ... ;o)
Please look into Michel Polnareff, e.g. "Âmes Calines" (has been covered as an instrumental in the US) or "Le Bal De Laze". A genius composer. By the way, "you're right" is "vous avez raison" (not "vous êtes droit"). xD
Of course, American songs have been covered in French, too. Johnny Halliday did it a lot, but also others. The Germans did it as well, it was even systematic in the 1960s and 1970s, almost EVERY English language hit was covered by German artists.
oui vous avez raison , il y avait un chanteur qui s'en était fait une spécialité , richard Anthony , le mec a fait tout une carrière en pompant les titre anglo-saxon .
12:30 in French we « pris le doigt dans le pot de confiture » or more often « pris la main dans le sac » when someone is being catch in the act, so he can’t deny. But I am not sure that is what you were talking about
No it's not what he was talking about"the proof is in the pudding" en gros il veut dire la preuve est dans le pudding"un genre de gateau Anglais".
The expression "the proof is in the pudding" is an alteration of an older saying that makes the saying a bit clearer "🙂the proof of the pudding is in the eating"
Mon Français est pas top mais je pense à "la preuve est dans le coffre fort"
pris la main dans le sac => caught red-handed
The smurf are belgian my friend.
ah ah God save the King is an original french song
Stolen is not the word, it's just covers or adaptations and it's no problem, very current in music. The thing is that french origin (or others countries) of american hits is not known, while on the contrary we know well in France that lots of songs are Anglo-Saxon in origin 😏
vous avez raison, juste il serait normal de mentionner, l'origine de la chanson
Même "Aline" de Christophe est une reprise d'une chanson américaine !
Les schtroumpfs c'est franco-belge 😊
Anthrax, always the forgotten band of the Big 4 of Thrash Metal 😁
Il y éffectivement beaucoup de titre anglais repris en Français.
Y FAUT absolument que tu écoute ULTRA VOMIT c'est du métal bien lourd et parodique sur les derniers album

Jacques Brel is Belgian ! No matter if you like him or not ! SO he should not even speak about him as a a "French" singer...
French people like english songs, we have not the need to translate it.
We can understand it and even when we don't undersand we like the rythm.
But Americans people doesn't listen to anything if it's not their language, I don't know why, it's bad for them, they miss a lot of things... except when an american artist buy the rights and translate it of course... and since few Americans are interested in artists from other countries, they will never know.
