About this song : It's all about geekiness. The expressions in the song are still widely used. About the author : La chanson du dimanche is a small band of two funny and talented guys, who have recorded every week a new song. Some of these songs are epic, others are just shit. They usually mock an habit or a common set of mind of French people.They can be difficult to understand for foreigners, because they use a lot of "cultural references". Among their hits, you can also listen to "Bonne humeur", "petit cheminot" and "pouvoir d'achat". This clip doesn't have a good video quality, but is has got subtitles (without too many mistakes) ! (If you prefer a slightly better video quality, but without subtitles, follow on youtube la chanson du dimanche - bluetooth.)
