This timeless piece from the 70's is on my playlist to this day. It doesn't matter that I can't speak French, what matters is the guitar work and that pace...
When I joined the Railways in Australia in 1977 my mate and I used to sing this song in the booking office, with comical emphasis on the HOOOOHOOOOO part, in the meantime the queue of people waiting to buy train tickets at the window got longer and longer. Happy days !!!
@@bjornhurst-do4ce It's difficult to translate, it has lots of slang and idioms, would probably take more than a post to explain. The title could loosely be translated as "it works for me" or "i'm feeling good".
a song from my childhood in France. when I woke up as a kid listening to this it would give me "la pêche" (energy) for school. thanks Plastic you really are fantastic.
@@SultanOrhanGazi Non, 1977. Je me souviens bien de son début sur l'emission de Danielle Gilbert, "midi premiere", que je regardais chaque jour pendant mon lunch break. Je suis devenu Punk ce jour là.
This song was essentially a one hit wonder for two artists at the same time and neither actually performed it. Although one did sing it (not this one, this guy here is lip synching)
This gets stuck in my head all the time!! Even when I haven't heard it for a while, it pops into my head and then I can't get rid of it!! But I effing LOVE it!!!!!
And Australia! I think possibly top 10. It was the happening thing in 78 😆 Still to this day have no fucking idea what he's saying. The translation is gobbledygook
C'est Lou Deprijk un belge lui aussi,qui chante, le compositeur de la chanson mais il était trop âgé pour les jeunes punks, alors il a créé un avatar Plastic Bertrand . Il y a eu plusieurs procès entre eux deux, Lou les a gagné mais personne ou presque n'en parle .
Une révolution ce titre en 77 ... j'avais 13 ans , paroles incompréhensibles , rythme de ouf mais à la première audition vous l'aviez dans la tête pour la journée . Merci Plastic ...
J'avais 17 ans, au bistrot avec les potes on l'a mis 10 fois de suite au juke box, le patron et les clients étaient devenus fous. "I am the king of the divan"
I'm a child of the 60s. I don't speak French. Never heard this until today. Halfway through I'm singing along at the top of my lungs driving down the highway! Great song!
I was introduced to this song when European Vacation came out when I was about 13. I immediately loved it. Never knew what he was saying and didn't care, I just loved the song.
42 years looking for this song, and thanks to Sirius, I found it in 2021. Kind of hard finding a song If you don't even know what the hell he's saying.
Mid 30s, spanish speaker with no clue of french... And couldn't resist to search this song after I listened in Ozark's last season. Now I can't stop listening this hit!!!
To anyone in 2021 who searched, found, danced, laughed, sang the wrong words apart from, "ooh ooh ooh" but enjoyed every second of it I'm very pleased to meet you. Have a fantastic day, try be kind to a stranger today. 🙏🙏
Well Plastic Bertrand is actually a Belgian singer (born in Brussels in 1954) - so the French part of Belgium. He surfed the punk wave and with "ca plane pour moi" landed a world hit in 1977. Someone translated the song quite accurately a bit further down in the comments. I am a native French speaker and so I can tell you that "ca plane pour moi" (pronounce "sa" with the "a" like in "bat") means "it's allright for me" but "planer" also means "to glide" (airplane), hence being high after drug consumption. The whole song describes how he feels after having drunk too much, having f... a girl (she compliments him : "you are the king of the divan/sofa"). There's also a bit about drugs abuse... The girl dumps him and destroys everything in his flat. Sex, drugs and rock'n roll, the holy trilogy.
Right ! and as I saw English lyrics, it says at one point "that girl was such a bitch" when there is no connection, he says in fact "that girl, that foot!" (feet here means fun "what fun!") And "colle" [kol] it's not "drink" but "glue" (=drugs)
I was 23yrs when this came out & id been celebrating my birthday in the pub at lunchtime I got very drunk & didnt bother going back into work for the rest of the day But i got my pal Peter to take me into Woolworths( when Britain still had Woolies) I insisted they play this, my current favourite single & would they mind turning up the volume so i could hear it as it was my birthday! Luckily the shop wasnt busy, so they did, full max volume Then i danced, hopping up & down like Plastic Bertram ..ALL OVER THE SHOP, UP & DOWN THE AISLES & SINGING MY LUNGS OUT TOO!! Everyone was clapping, i was singing any words that came to mind, people came in off the street to watch my performance around the shop My pal Peter, red faced & cringing, tried to hide behind a rack of Ladies Tee Shirts, so i dragged him out & forced him to Bop round the shop too I think the recoŕd dept played the song 3 times & the shop manager who i swore was going to throw me out of his shop, presented me with this record As it was my birthday & id unknowingly attracted a stack of customers in off the street & were now filling their shopping baskets, full of good cheer & happy faces... What a birthday! Id probably get locked up today if o repeated it. Ive still got the single, on vinyl too Happy Days Cheers 🇬🇧👧

I remember this from a comedy movie back in the day and this song on a commercial just now made me think of this tune, couldn’t get it out of my head so I went to google and was like what song is this and hummed what I remembered and it popped up. What a time to be alive.
Back in the school days my friend and i used to sing this song daily in the assembly hall, it's been 7 years now we still laugh and sing this song whenever we meet.
I was a kid and heard this song and I didn´t understand but I felt this is special. Now I´m 55 and I hear this song and now I understand that this is just hot. Plastic was waaayyyy ahead of his time. I love the speed, his voice, the vibe. I even understand the words, because I know a little bit French... Great song!
🇨🇿 super písnička na tuhle písničku jsem poprvé narazil ve filmu bláznivá dovolená v Evropě ve svých 16 letech,,, díky tomu filmu znám tuhle Peckovou písničku i po té létech je top ❤ teď je mi 20 a pořád to jedu to je hit
My friends sent me this years ago as a joke and... The joke gets better i actually liked it. Back then he had less views thsn me.... They put this on super troopers and its 7.2 mill now with 87,000 likes and a check in his mailbox....❤😂❤
This song transcends the language barrier because of its pure energy and fun nature. I used to think "Moi...lolita" by Alizée was one of the only French songs to reach the Top 10 in the UK, but this one did too, over two decades beforehand. Cette chanson transcende la barrière de langue grâce à son énergie pure et sa nature amusante. J'avais pensé que "Moi...lolita" d’Alizée était l'une des seules chansons françaises à avoir atteint le Top 10 au Royaume-Uni, mais celle-ci l'a fait aussi, plus de deux décennies auparavant.
A text bol. Zaplať kto mas.! Lebo my sme sa na účet v krčme skladali. Ty si mal tri pivá, ja až 6 , takže to rozratame. A furt som na to doplatil. Bolo dávno
Right Leo, no concept of irony either! This thread was about respect for the man but I guess if you're not literal in everything you do, say or write, some dick will take offence!
I remember buying this single and I was 12 at the time and never really understood what he was singing, but it was quirky and fun, unlike most music now.
Bought the US Sire 45 in 1979 (?) during the New Wave era of New York Radio. Visited Bleeker Street record stores that were chock full of Stiff, Zee and other UK labels. Artists like Talking Heads, Devo, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Lena Lovich and one of my favorites: Ian Dury. Fun times.
I remember my french teacher used to play this all the time, 9 years on and I can sing it word for word and often return to make sure I can still do it 😂!
So much going on here its fantastic! I hear a glorious mix of anarchy in the UK, Subterranean Homesick Blues and a nice chunk of Johnny B Goode added to the mix. During the intro that brass section deep down in the mix could fit straight into soul numbers like sweet soul music or in the midnight hour!
I remember this being played over the school PA system at the end of the lunch hour and before the bell rang for class in primary (grade school). If it was released in 1977 I was 6 years old at the time. I never knew what this was called, but like everyone else the melody and chorus got stuck in my brain. It hasn't aged a bit and still makes me want to get up and dance. Thanks for posting!
I first heard this on Radio Mi Amigo. They gave it a lot of air play back then. Bought the LP as soon as it came out and still play it from time to time. Brings back great memories of my youth.
Its amazing watching young people seeing the cereal advert and thinking this is a new song and band, jumping around saying how cool there music is......until I play it on here. To be fair, they then say how lucky there parents were to have great music.
@@mikezuniga4066 The only "French" fries are those boiled by a clochard under a bridge in Paris using an old rusty tin of WD40 and a combination of various used oils and somewhat outdated potatoes from a nearby restaurant dumpster.
You didn't have Mrs Gediss or Ward then. I would have learnt some French maybe if I had you teacher. Most teachers at my school were awful, boring and dull.
You teacher was genious, with a little evil side: I'm a native French speaker and there are still lyrics I don't get (and I promised myself long ago I'll never check on Google)...
This was popular when I was just out of high school. Jackass would sometimes play it when they were doing something crazy. When I heard it on Ozark it made me so happy. Such a cool song and it NEVER gets old!

Like eating a cracker between wine tasting to cleanse the palate. Great idea 👍

& would they mind turning up the volume so i could hear it as it was my birthday!
Luckily the shop wasnt busy, so they did, full max volume
Then i danced, hopping up & down like Plastic Bertram ..ALL OVER THE SHOP, UP & DOWN THE AISLES & SINGING MY LUNGS OUT TOO!!
Everyone was clapping, i was singing any words that came to mind, people came in off the street to watch my performance around the shop
My pal Peter, red faced & cringing, tried to hide behind a rack of Ladies Tee Shirts, so i dragged him out & forced him to Bop round the shop too
I think the recoŕd dept played the song 3 times & the shop manager who i swore was going to throw me out of his shop, presented me with this record
As it was my birthday & id unknowingly attracted a stack of customers in off the street & were now filling their shopping baskets, full of good cheer & happy faces...

Ahhhh FINALLY!! I have been trying to find this song for months!! I finally found it.. so relieved..
I always loved this song . the energy is insane !
I remember this from a comedy movie back in the day and this song on a commercial just now made me think of this tune, couldn’t get it out of my head so I went to google and was like what song is this and hummed what I remembered and it popped up. What a time to be alive.
Back in the school days my friend and i used to sing this song daily in the assembly hall, it's been 7 years now we still laugh and sing this song whenever we meet.
More like 47 years
Plastic Bertrand. Thankyou. A brilliant way to learn French at school
My mother sent this video to me without an explanation. And now it’s been stuck in my head for weeks 🤣😂
It's had a resurgence of late in the UK (I'm typing this 2022-6-4) through use as the backing for a TV commercial. (IIRR for Kellog breakfast cereal.)
I was a kid and heard this song and I didn´t understand but I felt this is special. Now I´m 55 and I hear this song and now I understand that this is just hot. Plastic was waaayyyy ahead of his time.
I love the speed, his voice, the vibe. I even understand the words, because I know a little bit French... Great song!
He admitted he didnt sing it though? Not his vocals. No one is aware I believe 🤔
Merci Ozark, 🇫🇷
I am 48 and remeber this as a fookijng great song from my youth :)))
🇨🇿
super písnička
na tuhle písničku jsem poprvé narazil ve filmu bláznivá dovolená v Evropě ve svých 16 letech,,,
díky tomu filmu znám tuhle Peckovou písničku
i po té létech je top ❤
teď je mi 20 a pořád to jedu
to je hit
The energy this song radiates could power ten thousand Tesla's.
If I listen to this in early morning I go out like my mind is dancing. You're right. Greetings from Italy
R.I.P Lou Deprijck🙏🏼❤️
Bugger. Didn't know he'd died. RIP.
Not to be confused, the man on video singing is himself Plastic Bertrand, Roger François Jouret.
Som rada, že som túto pieseň našla.
My friends sent me this years ago as a joke and... The joke gets better i actually liked it. Back then he had less views thsn me.... They put this on super troopers and its 7.2 mill now with 87,000 likes and a check in his mailbox....❤😂❤
I remember buying this in the late 70’s still love it
It was in the German charts also for quite a while.
The greatest use of the French language in rock music ever, stands the test of time ooh ooh ooooh
Ça Plane Pour Moi
This song transcends the language barrier because of its pure energy and fun nature. I used to think "Moi...lolita" by Alizée was one of the only French songs to reach the Top 10 in the UK, but this one did too, over two decades beforehand.
Cette chanson transcende la barrière de langue grâce à son énergie pure et sa nature amusante. J'avais pensé que "Moi...lolita" d’Alizée était l'une des seules chansons françaises à avoir atteint le Top 10 au Royaume-Uni, mais celle-ci l'a fait aussi, plus de deux décennies auparavant.
thank you for this comment. You just introduced me to Alizee
It's Belgian / Belpop
A text bol.
Zaplať kto mas.!
Lebo my sme sa na účet v krčme skladali.
Ty si mal tri pivá, ja až 6 , takže to rozratame.
A furt som na to doplatil.
Bolo dávno
The Grant Tour remembered me about this song!
The only plastic we need in our lives...
yeah my high school jam
Guess your computers made out of wood ?
That's funny, mine too!!
What are you talking about?!
Right Leo, no concept of irony either! This thread was about respect for the man but I guess if you're not literal in everything you do, say or write, some dick will take offence!
Never understood a word he said. But loved it!
I remember buying this single and I was 12 at the time and never really understood what he was singing, but it was quirky and fun, unlike most music now.
Same...I was 11 and so mesmerized by the song, so my parents just had to buy me the single.
Lets goooooooooo
Ok?
You re the greatest
Let’s not
Oh look it’s clickbait man
You go here
So ahead of time !!!! Still fresh 40 years later......
Heard this on Ozark and had to find it. Thank you!
Bought the US Sire 45 in 1979 (?) during the New Wave era of New York Radio. Visited Bleeker Street record stores that were chock full of Stiff, Zee and other UK labels. Artists like Talking Heads, Devo, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Lena Lovich and one of my favorites: Ian Dury. Fun times.
Love this song, remember getting me head kicked in at a funfare with this in the background
Wow was that you? Sorry mate
Parfait.
Theres always major scraps at funfares for some reason
If l had to pick just one song to have playing while being kicked in the head at funfair this would definitely be in my top ten.
Haha made me laugh out loud this comment
I remember seeing this on top of the pops as a kid and being glued to the tele
2021- LET'S DANCE PEOPLE !
2022....let`s dance 4ever! Even in heaven...
After all these years this song still hasn’t grown on me. It’s execrable.
I personally love this song but I appreciate your comment. It's clever.
I remember my french teacher used to play this all the time, 9 years on and I can sing it word for word and often return to make sure I can still do it 😂!
Loved this track when I was apx 12 years old, still works 40 years later, a real century power hit!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰
we used to speed roller skate to this song when I was a teenager, we are flying now :D
Toute ma jeunesse, du punk Rock en Français!!!!!! RIP pour le compositeur!
Just discovered this song and its such a banger
This song so iconic through many movies from the 90s and early 2000s and after two decades finally found this song.
Heard it in Eurotrip several years ago and got me hooked!
the fact that this is still in my head after so many years, Love it!!!!!
So much going on here its fantastic! I hear a glorious mix of anarchy in the UK, Subterranean Homesick Blues and a nice chunk of Johnny B Goode added to the mix. During the intro that brass section deep down in the mix could fit straight into soul numbers like sweet soul music or in the midnight hour!
Superbe belle chanson ! 😁
elle est tellement bien cette chanson , qu'elle est toujours aussi plaisante à écouter plus de 43 ans après ...!!!
C'est un homme
I remember this being played over the school PA system at the end of the lunch hour and before the bell rang for class in primary (grade school). If it was released in 1977 I was 6 years old at the time. I never knew what this was called, but like everyone else the melody and chorus got stuck in my brain. It hasn't aged a bit and still makes me want to get up and dance. Thanks for posting!
I first heard this on Radio Mi Amigo. They gave it a lot of air play back then. Bought the LP as soon as it came out and still play it from time to time. Brings back great memories of my youth.
Share some psychodelic-hippie-80's tales mr. Van Der Waal
plz
Its amazing watching young people seeing the cereal advert and thinking this is a new song and band, jumping around saying how cool there music is......until I play it on here.
To be fair, they then say how lucky there parents were to have great music.
Sir how many drugs have you taken?
Plastic: oui
C'est français! Si tu me voyais après la dose, c'est encore pire
Hold my glass of red wine 🍷 jean Paul going to do some more fat lines of coke 🤧
@@JazzFunk22 And he did, but so do most rock stars
Probably as many as you did 😂
You don't say Sherlock 🤗 🇧🇪
Долго искал эту очень энергичную песню...
One of the best things to come out of Belgium others include great beer and chocolate
That's my idea of a great night, Plastic, beer and chocolate.
And firearms. Fabrique Nationale - FN, an unusual combination agreed
Don’t forget “French” fries 🍟
@@mikezuniga4066 The only "French" fries are those boiled by a clochard under a bridge in Paris using an old rusty tin of WD40 and a combination of various used oils and somewhat outdated potatoes from a nearby restaurant dumpster.
Sono qui grazie ai cereali! 🤔 ho troppo tempo libero...
1978, et en France ( Port Leucate ) am Strand; schöne Jugenderinnerungen; mit 15 Jahren damals!!
Merci bien!!!
Ohhh, this evokes memories of school trips to France ...
My teacher put this on while teaching us French stuff and we all had a mad rave
your teacher must have been ace
deemdoubleu meh not really it was a French lesson
I would have loved to have seen that! Nice one.
You didn't have Mrs Gediss or Ward then. I would have learnt some French maybe if I had you teacher. Most teachers at my school were awful, boring and dull.
You teacher was genious, with a little evil side: I'm a native French speaker and there are still lyrics I don't get (and I promised myself long ago I'll never check on Google)...
Este tema y Born to be alive, qué dos enormes One hit wonders!!! Qué marcha proporcionan!!!
Born to be pour moi 😀
We need a mash-up 😀
This was the moment we realised Punk had gone international...sounds quaint today...but it fucking blew our minds back then!!!
Translated literally the title is "It Is Gliding For Me," in English i guess it would be similar to "it's all smooth sailing" or "I'm walking on air"
Ach, die gute, alte Zeit........
Fabulous Europop….a complete delight in these days of so called pop.
This was popular when I was just out of high school. Jackass would sometimes play it when they were doing something crazy. When I heard it on Ozark it made me so happy. Such a cool song and it NEVER gets old!
I used to Pogo to this as a 12 year old Punk rocker at the Project disco in Easterhouse, Glasgow in 1978.
I remember this when I was a young teen. It was fab. Still is.
De bons souvenirs, je l'ai vu chanter dans une toute petite discothèque à ses débuts, à Nangis en Seine et Marne. Année 76
''YOU ARE THE KING OF THE DIVAN'' WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!comme moi Ça Plane Pour Moi!!!!!!
,,TOUCHE PAS MA PLANET!!!!!PLuTON et si je SMOK-SKORPION A.S.cendentalna Lwica JAM JEST ANNA ,,PEŁNA ŁASKI'' więc może Was dzisiaj nie POŻRĘ NA ŚNIszADA?NIE hahaha BEAUCOUPE D'AMOUR POUR TOUS CEux-QUI LA VEUT ;D
Just saw a TV ad during SNF on NBC and this song is being played in the background for Paris 2024 games.
