Saturday Flashback: Yelle – Ce Jeu

I can’t tell if it’s 60s, 80s, or modern.

Tim: Friend of the site Ed has demanded that we review this band, suggesting a rap song they did, Je Veux Te Voix, or this one, the video of which has considerably fewer terrifying cast members. So we’re going with this.

Tom: That’s… well, I can’t tell if it’s 60s, 80s, or modern. Perhaps that’s just the video’s effect, though. I must thank the numerous YouTube commenters pointing out the brief flash of nipple there. I might have missed it otherwise.

Tim: No doubt the various toys and things in the video would make sense if my French was at a decent enough level to understand this (though I’m not sure anything could justify two dinosaurs mounting each other); musically, though, well, it’s alright. It’s admittedly not what I’d choose to put on a playlist, but I’d be happy hearing it at, say, a house party or something.

Tom: See, I rather like it. It’s happy, bouncy, and even ends on a little whistle.
