Hi all welcome back to another video Dereck Reacts back at it again! This time around we take a look at for the first time an 80s oddity that won my ears over with Les Rita Mitsouko "Marcia Baïla." Incredible voice delivery and use of sound, with this dance-oriented pop funk beat. See what I have to say about a new favorite of mine.

"Madonna type of stuff" - hummm pretty sure Catherine Ringer was wearing Jean-Paul Gautier before Madonna did
yes 6 years before Madonna
Madonna was very inspired by French artists in the great period of the 80s but Americans (who never look at what exists elsewhere ...) thought that she brought novelty .. ^^
The world city of fashion is Paris and it will always be so ...
Yep! She did! Ringer 4ever!
Catherine Ringer en 1984... Madonna en 1990.
Yes she was wearing a Jean-Paul Gaultier's dress in the clip.
Catherine Ringer is just amazing! ... Sadly her husband Fred Chichin passed away in 2007 .. Marcia Baïla, sung with a forced Spanish accent, was a tribute to Marcia Moretto, an Argentinian dancer who died of cancer in the early 80s, with whom Catherine took lessons in the 70s.
Funny, I never thought about the forced spanish accent ; the way she rolls the "r" always made me think about the singers of old like Edith Piaf instead but the spanish accent as explanation for this song is way more consistent.
@@lazyshoggy - Edith Piaf's R is uvular, while Catherine's R, in Spanish or Latin style, is done with the tip of the tongue.
Sorry but this tune is absolutely NOT sung with a forced Spanish accent!!! It's only Mrs. Ringer's way of singing... and even singing in French, she rocks!
@@jeromejerome4659 no. She doesn't sing the other songs with this accent sorry. Actually she sings normally . Only this one... She told that herself in an interview...
@Jerome Jerome - Mais si, Jérôme. Ce n’est que sur cette chanson, celle-là, que Catherine emprunte cet accent latino. Ce n’est pas sa façon habituelle de chanter. *** It’s only on this tune, this one, that Catherine borrows this Latin accent. It's not her usual way of singing. YES! She rocks.
When I saw you raise your shoulders to the « Hoohoo hoohoo » I thought : Congrats boy you are now a French citizen.
No Derek, rest American, it's better for you!!
I'm brazilian and simply obssessed with this song my favorite french song of all times
You can listen Taxi Girl « chercher le garçon »
czcams.com/video/BhTy8J0cBVI/video.html , French cold wave with Mirwais on keyboard who produced for Madonna later...
Marcia baila est une chanson extraordinaire
@@danielblaze4112 tout est génial ds cette chanson...les paroles, la musique...
@@inkitekcnote6tm15
Yes!! 👍
@@RakNtaK It's alright to like that song but it's nowhere to near comparable to Marcia Baila.
This song is played at every French houseparty! It's mandatory by law I guess 🙃. A true standard for sure 😌
Absolutely 20 years in jail if you don't play it!!!
clearly not ! I'm french. this music is just a classic maybe in for 80's
@@-Wildwolf- bah t'es pas french du coup :))
With "l'aventurier" XD
@@7Fk1 Clairement!!!! le type n'a jamais mis les pieds en France
To see an American react to 80s Rita Mitsouko is kind of amazing 😁.
I've been watching Les Rita Mitsouko's videros for years now. Love them and Ms. Ringer. Beau coup.
Catherine Ringer is now 63 and she's still grooving on stage.
I love her style, voice and talent so much!
Fun fact : Catherine Ringer is 63 years old now and she's still killing it when she performs Marcia, as she did on tonight's France 2 New year's eve show :)
Fred Chichin was not only a "guitar player" , he was the composer of Rita Mitsouko. They were married, had 3 children together.
A great classical 80s french song. Catherine is a great artist! 🤩
They were my first ever concert I have been too, when I was a teen!
Great fun in a relatively small venue!
This song is really sad
Artist singer or actress (in the porn industry)?lol
Moi j ai danser sur ce morceau à l époque...
@@projectnemesis88 Et alors ?
In reality, it s a sad song. Speaking about Marcia, a girl who loved to dance, but who is now dead of cancer, and is now just ashes.
French eigties were amazing.
''but the death, it s like an impossible thing,
Even for you, who is strong like a rocket,
Even for you, who is the life itself, Marcia,
Its the death, that brought you awaaaaaay!!!!!"
Marcia Moretto was a model, choreographer and a great dancer.. She accompanied the band during their tour.
Rip to both Marcia and Chichin.
Be this song for long time making them still alive.
@@brunobleiz4092 ... Still dead they are but Catherine.
But WE are alive.
Wait a sec, i ll Come back with a strange vid...
Here i am!!!
czcams.com/video/zVxKIV_OaUU/video.html
Thé vid is perfectly mad. But thé lyrics are good enough.
In a nutshell, it says
''we are survivors. WE are the saved ones. WE are the ones who skipped it slightly. WE dont have Time to watch the sea level increase. We dont have Time because WE are all flushed out.''
Beg your pardon for the poor translation.
That song just says : RUSH!!!!!! Death is at the door, now we lack if Time, so just RUSH!!!!".
She was 32, not a girl anymore. She was a teacher, a fabulous dancer and artist. Peoples today seem to believe they have the right to act like teenagers at an age, when
we had children AND a carriere. It's a a sad sight to see sometimes. 🤣
@rippenhengest wtf u talking about?!
This group gives me goosebumps every time I hear them songs... you have to learn French, understand it. It's actually a sad song, it's a hymn to life, a refusal to let death swallow us; sad story but delivered with a joyful rhythm, can't help it to cry, but be happy at the same time, yes, the world needs more of them.
Thank you.." The world needs more of them." Ya got that right.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Fun fact: This was the first music video ever added to the Museum of Modern Art (NYC) collection. The lyrics are about her dance instructor that died of cancer. They recorded and English version also.
Indeed :
czcams.com/video/QaK2gSRk5po/video.html
Her husband who played guitar made rita Mitsouko band died
by a cancer too
It's not just about her friend. The song is about how powerless we are when death comes calling.
Looks by Jean Paul Gauthier (before he did Madonna) and Thierry Mugler, video by amazing Philippe Gautier
very unfortunate that French singers and bands are not better known abroad.
Thank you Dereck for sharing the french vibes on your channel 👍🏻😉
absolutely...and I agree : )
Fred Chichin died more than 10 years ago
if you want kwon good singer or band in 80's tell me
like indochine l'aventurier
@@DereckReacts @Derek Reacts She's also faking a Spanish/Argentina Accent which is funny bizarre and Dramatic at the same time. It's an Hommage to a Dancer who died of breast cancer.. But nobody knew the story and just found the song cool and original. It's a miracle that this song was in the Top 1 of charts in France. The 80's were crazy and experimental. The PIC (and The end of the end.) of pop culture.. 💖.
Just play this song in a french party.. everybody jump everywhere: this song is .. A monument! And it's a .. sad song about a dancer's death
ooOOP ooOOP !!!
did you mean "dancer cancer death" also
@@MontetatilGueritatoo yes breast cancer
It's funny to see someone "discovering" this song.
Here in France, it has always been around.
Just everybody knows it!
Salut les Français!
Les RIta c'était mon premier concert !!
J'ai vu un des dernier de fred chichin. Bordel quel groupe ! 💚
Plus je l’écoute, plus je l’aime. Je me souviens de ma première écoute. C’était l’été, j’allais dans le petit magasin du coin et je m’apprêtais à acheter un Mister Freeze. J’entendais cette musique et je la trouvais ultra bizarre 😬😊❤️
Guess he doesn't "discover" it, really. You have dozens of channel like this, pretending 'discovering" tunes, but they know it perfectly. And this guy is not the worse.
Littéralement, cette chanson est et restera une TUERIE. Quel texte...
Hey another french group called Niagara famous in the 80s
Yes!!! Thanks! I did several recommendations on 'em! We have the same musical tastes! ;-)
Ouiii🤟🤟🤟😊
Oh mais oui !
Gainsbourg et Ringer se détestaient: les génies ont du mal à cohabiter; ils s'accusaient en gros, l'un l'autre, d'aller vers la facilité!
Pauvre de nous mortels qui ne pouvons que nous ébaubir de leur magnificence !
Yes! The « J’ai vu » videoclip is quite something!
Ahhhh right, the Rita Mitsuko are definitely a VERY unique & creative group, they sound like nobody else I know
Je propose qu'on lui fasse capter Nostalgie !
Un Commentaire d'une française qui passe par là pour te soutenir, courage à toi ! ;)
Thank you. I love "Andy", "Le petit train" and "C'est comme ça" too.
Les Amants, Les histoires d'A.
Although "Le petit train" is nice to hear, this is a really sad song.
@@shadowofthetree8293 Le ptit train....(qui part dans les camps de la mort)
Andy is my favorite
"C est comme ca" c'est ma préfèrée perso
It may sound indie experimental to you but those who lived the 80's were used to all kinds of different musical sounds. This was a huge hit back then. Artists experimented a lot to develop their own sound and style. We were really spoiled, the music variety was insane. Hopefully, you'll get into some Indochine soon, a great 80's french group.
telephone is a good band too
@@j-cherold2792 Téléphone jusqu'à la fin on dirait qu'ils chantent dans leur garage
@@vico5816 ils ont sorti de sacré tubes quand meme ;-)
thanks american cute boy for listenning french songs !!!it s amazing for us to hear and watch you !!!if you want one other big hits from the 80 ' : "voyages voyages " or "l aventurier "...but if you want a good clip "cargo " of axel bauer
In life, Catherine Ringer and Fred Chichin were a couple and their children also make music. The name of their band is Minuit. It's quite close of the Rita's sound but less radio formatted. You might like it...
This song, in 1984, was something totally new and unusual, they really invented something unique, it happened sometimes but it is very rare.
Nope was not new or unusal when you were used to listen to Britton new wave. Je suis Français.
Wow Les Rita Mitsouko a part of my teenage years!!! My favorites songs are "Andy" and "C'est comme ça".
YES Dereck !!! now go to "c'est comme ça" if you like rock song :)
Et "qu'est-ce-que t'es belle" avec Lavoine aussi
"Les amants" est une de celle qui developpe le plus toutes les capacitées vocales de catherine selon moi.
Catherine was divine ! ! And she's always. ..
There are literally LOADS of French music that is/was never heard in Anglophone US. It's a parallel universe that should be visited more.
I agree. Thank you. Merci beaucoup.
Simply one of the best songs of the 80's. The lyrics add another level to it that I love. Every french person knows about this song and many can sing it. A must-play in all french parties ;-)
OMG! I cannot believe it! I have loved this song and have the extended version on Vinyl since it’s debut in the ‘80s. I have never met anyone who has ever heard of this song or group. Thrilled to no end that someone requested it and you are reacting! Your viewer are the best! Love your channel!
I was in my early teen when their fantastic videos jumped out of the TV set and pulled me into their bizarre world. I was not prepared for this. And I was hooked forever. I consider them the greatest duo of all times. They always managed to perfectly balance beauty and dissonance in the voice, instruments and gesture. I love that strange sensation of satisfying harmonious weirdness.
Great, "Les Ritas" should be better known worldwide. They are part of the rare french "gems" in pop/rock.
The corset dress is designed by Jean-Paul Gaultier ... long time before his collaboration with Madonna 🇫🇷😉
Un Excelent groupe , du talent réel from France 😉👍
"Les Rita", as we call them, are a pillar to french pop music. Glad you gave them a highlight. Love to see you feel their groove. ☺
We danced our butts off on this tune back in the 80s, here in Quebec. Their other hit "C'est Comme Ça" was and still is great.
Danced my butt off too at Le Passeport on St-Laurent in Mtl. **sigh**
@@cronehagwitch3384 Wasn't Le Passeport rather on St-Denis street? Back then I used to go out at the Securité Maximum, La Boite En Haut and La Track.
@@EctoBuzz yessss! You are correct. I meant Le Belmont. Alzheimer is starting early this year!
@@EctoBuzz le passeport a termine sa vie en dessous du Cafe Chaos :(
@@EctoBuzz Le KM heure!! Le Café Campus!! Bon souvenirs!
Haha i never expected seing you discovering this song (it story is really tragic) and those two geniuses. I'm glad you liked
OMG Dereck, welcome to the eighties of french pop!😂
I always felt that Rita Mitsouko were the French Talking Heads.
My thoughts exactly. Or the French Blondie, in the way the band is built around a female singer in her 30s and a male guitarist. Coincidentally, both bands names were mistakenly believed to refer to the front woman. Like the Heads, they fused funk/new wave sensibilities with exotic sounds (Hispanic, African...)
Of course "she's slaying it!" she's a singing monster.
I love this band they are brilliant
Best french duo💗💗
Merci de partager cette vidéo!!🌟🌟🌟👍
👋😷😙🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵
Love Les Rita Mitsouko 🖤 wasn't expecting this reaction
84?? Already?? OMG time went so fast!!! That vidéo is very France...They're creative/crazy... and this song, we Gays went crazy when this played in CLUBS!! And singing our head out!! I'm very Happy that you have look at this song.... You can look, at Desireless: "Voyage Voyage" and Etienne Daho's songs he has so many...
I agree, "Voyage voyage" is a very good song and Desireless had a great voice despite of her look. I'm so nostalgic of these time
Next dear Derek... C'est Comme ca... Another les Rita's Mitsouko smasher... Love it
@Frank Thinnes I think so, too.
And Andy too! ^^ ☺
I love that song too. All my teenage years !!
@Frank Thinnes And the lyrics... *Wink wink nudge nudge say no more*
@Frank Thinnes Bizarre, j'entends autre chose... 😏
One of the most creative bands made of sheer geniuses if you ask me. Out of time, beautiful, inspirational and fun. Makes me feel good immediately.
Another great french pop song of these times is "Cargo de nuit"
Avec une superbe production rarement égalée, à part du côté de Gainsbourg évidemment, juste parfaite.
I love when you dance in your chair. You have a music in your blood😘
My favorite from Rita Mitsuko is called Andy, u'll love that. Thank u Derek.
I just discovered Les Rita Mitsouko myself in the last year. I think I got excited about the same stuff in the same places you did. I hope you researched the song and the group because it's time well spent - I once spent an insomnia-fueled night with Google Translate reading French articles about them.
You noticed their chemistry - Catherine and Fred were partners in life as well as in music.
Most definitely 😃
Rita mitsouko: jalousie
Very hard text, I love this song
I dont understand why You Never react to Alain Bashung? (That's a great monument of french song)
One of their best songs. Love "C'est comme ça" too (song played in a lot of parties in France) or "Le petit train" (song about the trains to concentration camps)
Oh! I didn't know at all about the "sub-text" of _Le petit train_ (I was 22 in 1988!)
@@75Philippos Now, you know! ^^ ☺
@@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391 Never too late to learn, even when you are 53 yo ;)
A song about their Argentinian dancer friend dying of Cancer. If you can believe that! "Andy" was an international hit after that!!
I didn't know your Channel, CZcams recommended me this video and I'm really happy to discover you. I love this song.
I'm french and in family event, we always listen to it! 😊 so happy americans like it too! 🥳
French music was so prominent and dominant during the 1980's.. Especially with singers like france gall, and bands like desirless with their number one hit voyage voyage which was a number one hit sensation in-all the nightclubs in europe back in 1987
As a VJ from the early 80's, this was one of my all time favorite music videos.
French music is unique. There is no equivalent.
Oh thank you!
@@Fierlapin Cocorico man! 😜
You can say the same about every country's music in this planet I think.
@@difmasika6858 you can, I don't.
@@Chuck-mp1ji Why is that?
One of their best song is C'est Comme Ça... my favorite of this French group
There is a duo Rita Mitsouko/Sparks called "Singing in the shower". Fantastic.
Amazing song, love the live version from 1994
and I LOVE that at time this video feels like watching the Muppet show .... Les Rita Mitsouko is culte , their first album was a must listen , all songs were good , original and so creative ...
Oh man, this song is just a timeless classic one. 1984, I was 10 and it was a hit already. Nice review dude!
At last, some international recognition. As an English teacher in training from the Netherlands, this may be an unconventional favourite, but I'm hoping to see them this year💖
The Rita Mitsouko are Legend!! Their entire music collection is like you said weird but very artistic. They are really from another planet! Some songs are really funny, they are completely out of this world, on a buzz of I dont know what drugs exactly but damn it was good stuff cause even tho its weird, its refreshing, amusing, you cannot feel down or depressed when you hear their music, it's a feelgood music, it's mind opener! As you can see, I like them very much since my childhood and I wont stop til the day I die and I hope if paradise exist there will be the Rita mitsouko playing out there to bring a bit of joy and color in this white paradise !!
Absolutly right! J‘aime Les Rita Mitsouko ❤❤❤
A master piece of art. All of it. So ahead of its time.
And you should know about lyrics. She's speaking about a friend how died because of a cancer. Such a memorial to their friend
Merci pour tout ce que vous faites pour la France 🇨🇵
Catherine Rinnjeur ahaha. With her lover Fred Chichin. Great of you (finally!) for discovering this classic "you just can't not dance on it" song . If only you could understand the lyrics. It's just fantastic, evily good, gets you on with the music that you end up not only dancing it but feeling it (from the start to be honest). Les Ritas were iconic and simply Cool with a big C. Very arty and creative in whatever they do. " When your mouuuth is immeeeeeense When you smiiiiiiile And when you lauuuuuuugh, I smiiiiile with youuuuuu, You so much love liiiiiife, What's this COLD THAT WE FEEL IN YOU ? It's DEATH that killed you Mathias, It's DEATH that consumed you Mathias, It's cancer You took under your arm, Now you're in DUST, in DUST, Death is like an impossible thing, Even with you who's strong like a rocket, Even you who IS LIFE MARCIA, IT's DEATH WHO TOOK YOU AWAAAYYYYY AYYYY AYY AYY AY...." For the record ;)
Rita totally rocks and it is funny... when I am in France with friends... everyone stops what they are doing in the car and sings this song as a group. Everyone in France (generalization there, eh) loves this song.
J'ai 50 ans et j'adore les ritas mitsouko j'écoutais marcia baila quand j'avais 14 15 ans a l'époque excellent groupe.
Hi Dereck! Thank you for reacting again on French song (You you start to love France and French patrimony and culture,all you need to do is learn French!^^), the Rita Mitsouko ( a couple for life and on stage, Fred Chichin died in 2007 and Catherine Ringer the female singer) an unforgettable band (crazy and atypical!) especially in 80's and 90's.
This song is a SMASH HIT in 1985, a tribute to their friend Marcia Moretto, dancer and model died of cancer in May 1983.
It's a catchy and poppy song despite a serious subject. They often hide behind a joyful melody lyrics with tragic themes, like the agony of their friend Marcia Moretto.
The video of the song, directed by Philippe Gautier, in which Catherine Ringer appears with a corset dress by Jean-Paul Gaultier which will become emblematic, and showing sets by Free Figuration artists (Di Rosa, Mosner, Combas), will become a reference1
Do you know? : The name “Rita Mitsouko” is chosen for its beauty and international sound: it associates the name of stripper Rita Renoir with that of the Mitsouko perfume by Guerlain.
Their best album is "The No Comprendo" with the SMASH HIT "Andy" (Hey Andy.. with lots of guitars and trumpets, you will like it!!^^ : czcams.com/video/Ae-tP-rFJl0/video.html), " C'Est Comme Ca" (It'S Like That :czcams.com/video/fGZRVGlGZ6A/video.html ) end of 1986 and beginning 1987 with lots of synths and guitars (video directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino, worked with MADONNA in 1986-1987 on "Open Your Heart" video), "Le Petit Train" in 1988 (The Little Train (like "Marcia Baila", tragic theme on the deportation of Jews to Nazi concentration camps :czcams.com/video/Pn5X4_JCJgg/video.html ).
They worked in 1988 on their new album "Robert" with an american band The Sparks with the Smash Hit "Singing In The Shower" (My favorite one!!! Very 80's with synths, drums, guitars too : czcams.com/video/T6gwIgsHMis/video.html).
During all these years, the duo kept a great originality, on record as on stage, without taking themselves seriously, and explored various musical currents, taking an interest in funk, new wave, hip-hop or music. jazz.
PS : In 1982, they recorded a song in English: "Don't Forget The Nite" ( czcams.com/video/pfdnhY7Ax0Q/video.html).
Don't forget to react on another France Gall (Débranche : Unplug in March 1984, Babacar in 1987, Evidemment in 1988).
There was also another French band called NIAGARA (with Muriel "Moreno" Laporte and Daniel Chenevez) from 1985 to 1994: Tchiki Boum in 1985 (mexican/cuban ambiance, it's for you^^: very 80's in the song and especially in VIDEO! Synths, drums, etc...), L'Amour A La Plage (Love On The Beach) and Je Dois 'En aller in 1986, Quand La Ville Dort in 1987 (New Version for 7" release and last single of their first album released in 1986) and a rock turn in 1990with "Religion" album: J'Ai Vu and Pendant Que Les Champs Brûlent. Videos are very aesthetics!
They make their videos themselves! You should react on 'em! Well worth a look!!!
Thanks lovely Dereck!
15 years ago, during Brussels Summer Jazz Festival, I saw them on the Grand Place of Brussels... and Keziah Jones came right after this !!!
Such a crazy memory 😃
🎶You should listen "ANDY" by the "Rita Mistuko".
Second that, I feel like Derek would love it !
I remember the first time I heard that song. It was just out and so different and fresh. I saw Catherine Ringer in concert 2 years ago and her voice is still amazing! What a show that was! Everybody was dancing.
She preformed at Jean-Paul Gaultiers farewell show in the beginning of this year.
understand french will make even more sense of the clip... it was a tribue song to Catherine Ringer dance's teacher who die of breast cancer
its a happy sad song
Legendary track!
Dereck you're a champion about songs analyse, very impressive especially because you look like young so we could thing you don't have enough experience to make good comments but your music open mind is very precise and fair and your technical too. Your reacts are great and very interesting and funny, i'm french so ofc i know all french musics you analyse and i'm so happy when i see you in communion with songs, you embrace 100% the music and this is why your words are so excellent, i suscrib to your channel, you're simply the best ! Keep going on ! (And sorry for my approximative english but i guess you understood me). Wow !
Thank you!!!❤️😉
Haha same ^^
I saw a bodybuilded young (probably) american guy in the thumbnail and I wasn't expecting this kind of quality in the analyse in the video, nor that you would love it that much. Like a French comics drawer said : prejudices are like acne, it's when you think you got rid of it that it comes back right in the face :/ Just hope the lesson will be learned for some time ...
@@DereckReacts yes i say the same you're good :-)
Thank you Dereck for your openmindness, I love how long you continue to give information after the song ends.
Also considering this is a nich (most of comment come from frenchy like me), that's very kind, and show you really LOVE artists. that's matters for me.
Hello from France !!
Nice take on Marcia Baila, such a good song.
She sing the beauty, talent, and life of M.Moretto in the verses, and the cancer, and her death in the chorus. RitaMitsouko was a great band (rip F.Chichin) , and they where very good at mixing beauty, and tragedy in their art.
It is rare that CZcams recommended me a video i actually appreciated.
Very interested to see a non-french spoken person discovering french songs and this one is really famous. It made me laugh the way you pronounced their names but there was no mean or offense in here.
Anyway, everything has been said/written in the comments about this duo and i also recommended you to discover and watch "C'est comme çà". Then, find out the meaning of lyrics ;)
More seriously now, i suggest you, if it's not already done (About to take a look at your channel) "L'Envie" LIVE version (From 80's early 90's if possible) by Johnny Haliday. You will see power or should i say strength in his voice and the lyrics, their meanings, damn...
Wow!!!
Les souvenirs attachés à cette chanson du début des années 90.
Keep on the good work making fresh culture trough your channel ❤️
When my mom would pick me up from school in my Quebec small town, I would always ask her to put on this tape in our old nissan santra. Such good memories attached to this amazing music. Happy to see it appreciated by non-french audiences.
Oh, Marcia! There was a time I was almost obsessed with this song, its so great (the video too!) and still I love it!!!!
Man, you are an artist , and so you can understand art ! You re great.
What a chance to hear that song for a first time. I’m jealous
Wow this is amazing! ‘Avant Garde’ ❤️❤️❤️
I used to listen to that group in the 80s. Loved them. The song "Andy" is great to listen to as well.
I am French, I follow you, and frankly your reactions on French music I died of laughter... you kill me man I love :)
My Mum died when I was eight and this was her favorite song. I see her trough this singer.
Yeah ! A new react video from the most French of American youtubers ! 🤗👍🏻Congratulations Dereck for reacting to this video of Rita Mitsouko, one of the best and original group in France.
I was 15 when this came out and i loved it right from the start. The music, her voice, the video, the lyrics, etc.
So many elements to hear, watch, enjoy !
And the statement : "And death, it's like an impossible thing" that makes you have a look (again) at the absurdity of life, it was striking (makes you feel hopeless and makes you wanna live so much !) ....
Later, after Fred's death, it took another added sense.... And it takes more added sense when you have lost a person you loved...
So, definitely, this song works on so many levels, you just can't count them
Vive les Rita👏, Merci Catherine et Fred, groupe et oeuvre musicale de fantastique.
Et merci Dereck, Thanks you
Great song indeed ! It’s a song about dance and griev, filled with sadness, anger and joy In the same time.
Still very popular in France 🇫🇷
Unfortunately Fred Chichin died In 2007, Catherine continues to sing with the name « Catherine Ringer chante les Rita Mitsuko »
Thanks a lot for your video, very moving
Thank you. I enjoy listening to you..many memories with this song.
I like "ding, ding, dong" of Rita. M!
Haha glad you can react and discover that song ! Love it so much
well done, guy: it's dark - and so much fun too...
yep, phenomenal hit.
Aaaahhhhh les Rita!… Inégalés!!! I had the chance to see them live and Catherine is a total must, un monstre de scène à l’énergie inépuisable: galvanisante!
Sûr j'ai également eu la chance de voir les Ritas en concert. Un souvenir impérissable.
all the strangeness of the music, the dance and the song, only emphasizes the lyrics. Indeed, she speaks of Marcia saying: "you love life so much" then screams "but it is death that murdered you, it is the cancer that you took under your arm ..". At the time, this song made you shiver as much as dance .... it's a masterpiece.
Les RIta Mitsouko, mais quel groupe extraordinaire qui a marqué de son talent toute une époque. J'ai eu la chance de les voir plusieurs fois en concert et la voix et la présence scénique de Catherine était incroyable. Je n'ai plus jamais ressenti une telle puissance de la part d'une chanteuse.
