Lyrics mine (2010), obviously adapted from the original lyrics of "Miss Maggie" by Renaud (1985). Music: basically my approximation on folk guitar and harmonica of the original composition of "Miss Maggie" (Jean-Pierre Bucolo, also 1985), with just, in the intro and outro, "La Marseillaise" instead of Big Ben (you'll understand why when you listen to the lyrics).
My way of throwing a little fit: writing a parody-detournement — of the well-known old French pop song "On ira tous au Paradis" (1972) by Michel Polnareff (music by the latter, lyrics by Jean-Loup Dabadie — here carefully distorted by me).
(Warning: the sound is very weak on this recording, so you need to pump the volume of your device.)
(And actually, this is definitely in line with the themes of the scholarly journal issue I once co-directed, the Caliban about collapse in fantasy and SF.)
Juste the chorus of "Chirac en prison" (2006) by French punk band Les Wampas, with four different updates regarding current news. 😉
