Chirac en prison - Les Wampas

Chirac en prison - Les Wampas
2:55
Rock 'n' roll Part 9, 2006
Written by Les Wampas

A very pop-indie track from a punk band, with an uptempo go-go beeping melody and "yeah yeah" type background vocals.  It concerns a man whose friend really wants Chirac to go to prison.  "La seule chose qui lui ferait plaisir / Ce serait de voir Chirac en prison." Predictably the song was banned and censored, which makes these guys punk no matter how pop their songs might be.  Another song of theirs criticizes Manu Chao, the leader of Mano Negra whose song "It's My Heart" was covered on this blog.
