Aaaahh I love this song.  I love this song so much.  This is in the top ten list of personal theme songs.  The song’s chorus, “Ça plane pour moi,” very roughly translates into “This is working out great.”  It’s possible it’s ironic.  Actually, wait – it’s French.  It’s highly probable it’s ironic.  It sounds so upbeat in the face of so many annoying (and strange – again, it’s French) things happening to the guy – “it’s not today that the sky will fall on my head.”  Damn right, Monsieur Français!  This is a very good song for the day after a big night.  (Editor’s note: If you really tied one on last night, perhaps wait until those ibuprofen have taken effect before pressing play on this one.  It might make that headache just a touch worse.)  It is also a great way to kick out the old and bring in the new.  Oh hey there, 2014!  Ça plane pour moi!

Wham! Bam! mon chat Splash
Git sur mon lit a bouffé
sa langue en buvant tout mon whisky
quant à moi peu dormi, vidé, brimé
J’ai dû dormir dans la gouttière
Ou j’ai eu un flash
Oooo-ooo-ooo-ooo!
En quatre couleurs
