Containment inspires singers. After Helmut Fritz and its updated version of It annoys me last week, it's Goguettes' turn to hit the headlines on YouTube. Clémence and Valentin, two members of the quartet, wrote, sang and directed T'as wanted to see the show , a parody song about the intimate (and wider) consequences of the current health crisis. All on the notes of Vesoul , the famous song by Jacques Brel.

Speeches by Emmanuel Macron, shortage of masks, certificates, everything goes by. The text aims to make people laugh, of course, but also to denounce certain (in) government decisions. "You wanted to put on a mask, and well, there was no mask, but I can make one with paper towel. I wanted to poke stuff to buy food, but just around the corner a cop fell on me, I had not marked the time on my certificate, never a lump of butter cost so much of cash ”, sings Valentin, accompanied in a good tempo by Clémence on the piano.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more acidic. "You wanted to see Macron, and we saw Macron. Now everything is clearer. To avoid contamination, you must confine yourself. But to get confused, he is immune. But to be immune, you have to be infected. To be contaminated, it causes deconfining. CQFD ". Even Benjamin Griveaux takes it for his rank.
Madness takes precedence over reason. An effect of containment? "So what it seems must hold until May 11. What are we going to be able to do with all this time offered? We have already killed the cat, tied up the children, denounced the neighbor who goes to see his parents in a rotten nursing home near Charenton. Strongly that it is finished that we confine ourselves in prison, for good ». On their Twitter account, Les Goguettes also point out that Valentin is "on the verge of a nervous breakdown" .
The song ends with a verse honoring the hospital staff. Nothing soothing. Rather a warning so that the applause of France have a striking and stumbling extension. “At 8 p.m. you have to yell at the window, to support the caregivers in the galley of equipment. It was the same last year who was beaten up by the constabulary to get the budget. Now it's heroes, I take my hat off if they don't get a little schizophrenic with all that. As long as they last. Let it be remembered, ” concludes Valentin. Posted on Tuesday, the video has already exceeded 2 million views on YouTube and has been massively shared on social networks.
