I've long maintained that French music is either utterly brilliant or utter toilet, there doesn't seem to be a bland middle ground - well certainly not to my Anglo-Saxon ears. This 1967 cover and re-working of The Who's 'My Generation' falls firmly in the tray marked 'brilliant - can we have some more please?'. The video however is so cheesy it looks like it could be a spoof. I suspect it is genuine and that makes the song all the better. Listen and watch for yourself and make your own mind up. I'm off to buy a beret and smoke Gauloises cigarettes, daddio.
