Things seem to have got a little bit heavy recently with all this writing 101 business, writing is all very well but where has the musical tour of Europe gone I hear you ask or maybe not. Anyway the next country I will be looking at if you haven’t already guessed from the video is Belgium. Is this the best song ever to come out of that wonderful country, we shall see over the coming days.
The song by the Belgian artist Plastic Bertrand was released in 1977, the title is a French expression meaning “everything is going well for me”, and the lyrics are pretty much nonsense. The song has been described as punk by some or a parody of it by others. Either way it has always made me smile and it’s a start on my exploration of the country’s music.
