Fred Chichin, miss him so much, he was a genious. Rita Mitsouko is one of those bands, in France, as soon as you play a song in a party everyone goes on the dancefloor, especially this one and Marcia Baila. The lyrics are also much deeper than they sems to be, very well written. Rita Mitsouko was unique, I saw them live a few times, and saw Catherine in solo tour too, she's awesome. The way they loved each other is in their music too, and now their childs are in music too and does great songs, their daughter is just a Catherine's clone, with the same skill with her voice. Catherine was criticized for the way she earned money before being famous (I'm sure you know what...) but she is so talented that even the ones who were very "angry" about it must admit she's above all a fantastic artist.

[@Frederic1406]

The guitar work is superb here, Fred killed it. The energy of the song is incredible, and of course Catherine is in command as always. They were million years away from other groups in France, so experimental. For an extra song of them to review, there would be Le petit train with a very interesting video and also another onr (no video) but killer song: Un soir un chien.

[@klaarkprod]

Fun fact : the CGI backgrounds in the clip are one of the early works of a young french studio called MacGuff Ligne… known today as Illumination with the "Despicable Me" series.

They did a wonderful collaboration with the Sparks in 1988: Singing in the Shower. Besides being successful in France it entered US dance charts.

As a native French speaker, it's always weird to hear Catherine Ringer singing in English in this song. It's like a bad translation to me. But I love the song. Having both Sparks and Rita Mitsouko on the same track is one of the best things that happened to music at the time.

You should look for Béruriers Noirs if you want french punk. And they're punk not only in music but also in spirit. At the Festival d'été de Québec, they requested to have all the sponsors banners on the stage hidden before performing as they don't want to be associated with any corporate stuff. The organization obliged and they gave their show afterward.

[@meldoborel]

So great you enjoy this part of our musical culture which is so important !! Great loss when they stopped and then when fred died... niagara (another band) was also cool but there’s nothing compared to this musical time we had and which is totally gone... i feel like there’s nothing as experimental and of quality than what we had at the time... but maybe I’m just getting old ??!!

Oh, Les Rita Mitsouko - from Paris with love! Unparalleled to anything else on the 1980s pop scene. Quirky cutting-edge pop music accompanied by quirky cutting-edge music videos (most of them directed by Jean-Baptiste Mondino). Catherine Ringer was/is truly a brilliant performer, dancer and singer, and Fred Chichin (RIP) was a great songwriter & producer. They released a lot of great music but three singles were very special to me: "Marcia Baila", "C'est Commes Ça" and "Le Petit Train". Legendary Bowie and Iggy Pop producer Tony Visconti produced two of their albums. Timeless pop music!

[@nadia-yahiaoui7775]

Hi, I am glad you like The Rita Mitsouko, this specific song is the song of my teenage years. For a French of any generation, it is a staple, since it is still played on radios. I agree with you, Catherine is made for art. She started younger as a pornographic actress in the 70's, met Frederic Chichin and got into this rock aventure. If you love her body language and the way she moves, please, look at the Video "Y a de la Haine". It is musically interesting, and this is the video in which they underline their complicity both in music and life, since they were a couple. Whenever you see her now, she has this melancholic look, and must miss Fred who passed away from a cancer years ago. Good job for your analysis, you are really fair and precise. Thank you.

[@c.p.5627]

A little known fact about the Rita Mitsouko is that they featured System of a Down's singer Serj Tankian on their 2007 album Variéty. The song is called Terminal Beauty, and it's a gem! Sadly this album was their last, since Fred Chichin died that same year, but I highly recommend it. :)
