I thought I would hit you up with some French culture because we all need a break from the killing and mutating fish don’t we?
I present to you Magic System with their latest hit “Zouglou Dance”! It’s currently number 2 on the French charts (after Estelle’s “American Boy” which is in English and therefore not appropriate for this blog).
I’ll warn you! This video may not please bosses and other various old people! This isn’t your classic Edith Piaf! You’ll find the lyrics and translation after the jump. And trust me, you’ll find them very amusing!
Now I’ll be honest: even with the lyrics I still have no idea what they are saying! The music video doesn’t exactly match with these lyrics so it’s kind of all over the place. But who cares? Let’s just ZOUGLOUUUU!!
Note: I also have NO idea what Zouglou means. If anyone does, please enlighten us!
Français:
