At last year’s French GP, some of the original Pink Floyd band members were reunited to put on a concert at Magny Cours. Naturally, given that it was the legendary Pink Floyd, the evening was a great success. So this year, the organisers have decided to stage another concert, but looking at the list of acts, there is a very strong French flavour to this year’s line-up. Oh dear! While France has brought much to the world of the arts and culture, pop music is not a Gallic strength. To prepare you for the concert and in tribute to Johnny Halliday, “le roi de beaufitude” and France’s greatest living pop artist, we bring you a quick guide to le pop francais…..
What’s the difference between a dead French pop musician lying in the middle of the road and a dead Country ‘n Western singer? At least the Country ‘n Western singer might have been on his way to sign a record deal. What is the range of a French pop singer? About twenty metres if you have a strong throwing arm.
What do you call a French pop star with a mobile phone and a beeper? An optimist.
Why did the chicken cross the road? To get away from the French pop concert.
Why does a French drummer have a brain that is slightly bigger than that of a horse? To avoid those embarrassing moments during the Parade.
How do you know when you are being kissed by a French Horn player? Because he is trying to put his fist up your bottom.
What’s the difference between a French rock guitarist and a dog? The dog knows when to stop scratching.
An art critic and a French rock fan are on Death Row. Taken to the Death Chamber together they are asked by the Executioner if they have any final wishes. “Yes, I have, “says the French rock music fan. “Please play a Johnny Halliday record.” “And you? “ asks the executioner, turning to the art critic. “Just make sure you kill me first!”
