Memory Fading

4 Apr 2005

It's suddenly dawned on me that there is a multitude if information available here on SH.
Information on as wide a range of subjects one could hope to find gathered together in one place.
I've just been in msn and the subject of "Bertie" came up. Some of you may remember me talking of him. Some of you will even have been bored witless hearing about him.
Anyway - enough - I have a question that's been in my mind for the last couple of years. I've "googled" I've asked that butler bloke, but to no avail; so I turn now to you, my friends.
"Purple Bertrand"
Is it a song title, maybe a group/band or even it's just half a line from a song. I'm fairly sure the answer is musical.
Please help.

Thanks Jags, and sooooo gently too. kiss

I've looked at the link, maybe that was it; but I'm still not sure.
I'm sure it was something I heard in a song, rather than read; and there's no reason a Neanderthal like me would be reading stuff like that.
Did maybe someone sing about him.
I'm gonna be devastated if I mis-named him
Would you leave it open for a while.

Quote by Plastic Bertrand
Wham bang mon chat "Splash" gite sur mon lit a bouffe
Sa langue en buvant trop mon whysky
Quand a moi peu dormi vide brime
J'ai du dormir dans la goutiere
Oil j'ai un flash
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh.
En 4 couleurs
Allez op un matin
Une louloute est v'nue chez moi
Poupee de cellophane cheveux chinois
Sparadrap une gueule de bois
A bu ma biere dans un grand verre en caoutchouc
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh.
Comme un indien dans son igloo
(sort of knew the chorus, but always sang 'Slap Bang poor moi' )
Ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi
Ca plane pour moi
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh.
Ca plane pour moi
Allez hop la mama quel panard quelle vibration
De s'envoyer sur le paillasson lime ruine vide comble
You are the king of the divan qu'elle me dit en passant
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh.
I'm the king of the di - van
Ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi
Ca plane pour moi
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh.
Ca plane pour moi
Allez hop t'occupes t'inquietes touches pas ma planete
It's not today que le ciel me tombera sur la tete
Et que la colle me manquera
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh.
Ca plane pour moi
Allez hop ma nana s'est tiree s'est barree
Enfin c'est marre a tout casse l'evier le bar
Me laissant seul comme un grand connard
Le pied dans le plat
Ca plane pour moi
Ca plane pour moi, moi, moi, moi, moi
Ca plane pour moi
Ouh, ouh, ouh, ouh.
Ca plane pour moi
