Et pour préciser elle était danseuse, chorégraphe et aussi la prof de danse de Catherine Ringer

This one is a Major hit in France. Still broadcasted a lot on the radio 40 years after its release. Very unique and experimental but les Rita Mitsouko are one of the best French bands ever

This video clip is 40 years old. Catherine Ringer is dressed by Jean-Paul Gautier and Thierry Mugler, the star stylists of the 80s and the decor is composed of paintings by artists such as Ricardo Mosner or Nina Childress, emblematic painters of the "free figuration" pictorial movement whose heads featured are Combas and the Di Rosa brothers. With the music of Les Rita Mitsouko, this clip is a summary of the different artistic movements of those years and as such is part of the collections of the MoMa in New York.

RITA MITSOUKO = ART VIDEO

Bonjour Oncle D, Madonna était fan des Rita Mitsouko (et de Mylène Farmer, aussi). Elle a demandé à J.P. Gauthier de lui faire le même bustier que celui que porte Catherine Ringer (quand elle marche comme un robot, lol) dans cette vidéo. Ainsi, aux USA, tout le monde pensait alors que c'était Madonna qui avait sorti ce style. Et bien, non, la preuve ! Les Rita Mitsouko était un des groupes les plus inventifs et créatifs des années 80. Ce clip est complètement déjanté et drôle, alors que les paroles (qui peuvent sembler décousues à l'écoute, ne le sont absolument pas) parlent de la mort et du cancer ("elle est maigre," "danse à plat," "quel est donc ce froid que l'on sent en toi?", etc.). Comme dans leur chanson "Le petit train," par exemple, Les Rita Mitsouko avaient coutume de parler de sujets tragiques sur des rythmes endiablés. Stromaë s'en est largement inspiré. Paix, les gens. ☮👈😎

Les Rita Mitsouko 💣💥💯. Greets from Germany...fantastic art and brilliant music.

Lyrics in english: Marcia she dances On rayon satin Expanded polystyrene At his feet Marcia dancing with legs Sharp like cleavers Two arrows that give ideas Sensations Marcia is skinny Beautiful on stage beautiful as in the city Seeing her dance transforms me In excited Ah Moretto like your mouth Is huge when you smile And when you laugh I laugh too You love life so much So what is this cold What do we feel in you? But it's death Who murdered you Marcia It's death You burned yourself out Marcia It's cancer That you took under your arm Now you're in ashes, ashes Death feels likе an impossible thing And even to you who is strong as a rockеt And even to you who are life itself Marcia It was death that took you You might also like Marcia dances a little Chinese Heat in shoulder movements Flat like an Inca hieroglyph From the opera With the head She also dances very well And his face Dance with everything else She searched A new way And invented it She's the grasshopper The lovesick mermaid The dancer in the flannel Or the cardboard Ah Moretto like your mouth Is huge when you smile And when you laugh I laugh too You love life so much So what is this cold What do we feel in you? But it's death Who murdered you Marcia It's death You burned yourself out Marcia It's cancer That you took under your arm Now you're in ashes, in ashes Death seems like an impossible thing for you Who is life itself Marcia And even to you Who is strong like a rocket It was death that took you Marcia Marcia Marcia Marcia Marcia

You can't imagine how this first song from them was huge when came out, and still huge: put it now in a party: everybody dance on it. Thgere a lot a looooot to say about The Rita Mitsouko, but they are really important in the french rock / pop history. Videos were always silly, a crazy world, with a lot of imagination, new sounds, everytime a new song / album from them was out, they tried really new things...and always with a big succes. RIP Fred Chichin (the guitarist and husband of the duet), we lost a big artist when he died. The song alwayus seems silly, crazy , fun, but when you know about the lyrics there are always a lot of deep meanings, mostly sad (I recommend "le petit train"... many french don't even know what it is really about). Catherine Ringer is a complex and fantastic artist, her voice is amazing. Lot of people spitted on her at the beginning because, to make enough money to live before earning enough with music, she acted in adult movies (even Gainsbourg himself told her she was a whore in an interview, but as always, provocation and alcohol) But, as I say, Rita Mitsouko loved provocation, they were incredible artist, on stage, on album, on videos, very very creatives and they pushed the limits of french pop rock music. Rita Mitsouko is a french gem very important, but I can understand, when you hear them from the first time you can be speechless and think: well, who are those crazy stupid people?

tu ne comprends pas c est normal les francais ont dansé pendant des mois sur cette chanson sans comprendre les paroles jusqu au jour ou les paroles ont etes expliquées . c est un hommage a marcia moreto danseuse choregraphe americaine decédee en 1983 d un cancer

Oui pareil pour Le petit train.

Merci pour ce fou rire que j'ai eu en regardant vos réactions 😂. Il est vrai que ce clip et la chanteuse des Rita Mitsuko était un autre monde.

I admit that without knowing the codes, it's very disconcerting, but in France we love them a lot, they're a couple, he, Fred Chichin unfortunately died, but she, Catherine Ringer, still sings!!! You are so comic, you make me laughing !!! ☺☺

You killed me ! 😂😂😂

They had a quick popularity in the mid 80s. They made satires what was going on in france at the time thus the funny body languages, the attires catherine uses during the videos. As mentioned in the comments, this song was probably a tribute for a friend of hers. Also there is a minority gypsie group called the "roms" in france. They hang out by the side of the road all the time like nomads. She sings with a broken french here just like gypsies do. This song is probably for them as well. They became iconic over the years. Their songs and the genre they use is pretty unique. I've learned to appreciate them over the years. So yeah it's not for everyone. Mostly french people will get what they're saying.

The only response to "do French women shave" is also the simplest, well; some do some don't some do it sometimes,it's just their choice.

Mostly they do... it's very rare to see french woman that doesn't... some feminist or some "close to nature" women but they are not the majority...

In the 80's, I danced to this song until my feet hurt! Still do. The lyrics cannot properly be translated, lots of metaphors. It's a tribute to an argentinian dancer who died of cancer. It basically says that even if Marcia was very strong, death had the upper hand. The music is very upbeat and looks like a surrealist painting, but the lyrics are sad. It's a tribute to the courage of a dead friend, who danced and did funny stuff until the very end. Making such an absurdly funny video is the band's way to give the Reaper the middle f!nger, like see, you will come for us all but in the meantime: Carpe Diem!

So true !

I love your react you are so funny 😁and thank you for talking french 👍

j'adore tes réactions "qu'est ce qui ce passe ?!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The 'Ritas' as we call them in France are one of most innovative and creative band... This song talks about Marcia Moretto a very famous Argentinian dancer who died of breast cancer... you should listen to 'le petit train'... and please you are correct when you say French women shave their armpits but we French people think that German women don't 😅... so many stereotypes !

This song is a tribute to a dancer friend Who died very young of cancer. We all dance in France to this song, moving and celebrating life to pay tribute.

@@ReactionsbyD Hi, it’s quite common in French culture and French pop songs to hide powerful dramas behind a joyful aspect or melody. Here : a friend of the singer died young because of a breast cancer. Two joyful songs : « C’est une belle journée » by Mylène Farmer and « Je chante » by Charles Trenet deal with the suicide of the protagonist etc…

Please react to "C'est comme ça " by the Rita Mitsouko

Vous devriez écouter, des Rita Mitsouko, "les amants" avec sa voix poussée à fond et "le petit train" qui parle des trains de déportation des nazis. Cela fait parti de leurs meilleurs tubes

It’s very difficult for a none French to understand the meaning…. Marcia was a very creative female dancer and she had a cancer and died . The mouth is about the squelette when we death !Another video callled le petit train ( inspired of a song for young people ) very creative and meaningful about the Hollocost . I recommend. And thanks ! Your French is better than my English ( apologies)

Leur tout premier tube.

Un de mes groupes preferes, innovateurs, plein de talent, etc...J'adore

Elle parle d'une artiste espagnole qui a beaucoup comptée dans sa vie d'artiste et qui est morte d'un cancer. Les Rita Mitsouko est un groupe de rock qui fait partie des meilleurs.

Les Rita Mitsouko sont toujours quelque part dans nos cœurs. 😊 🎉 The Rita Mitsouko are always somewhere in our hearts.😊 🎉

Les ritas, on adore, c'est comme ça

Love Les Rita Mitsouko ❤

welcome to the completely crazy musical style of Rita Mitsouko, whether it's the music or the clips, everything is colorful and quirky even the songs that talk about drama like "le petit train". Catherine Ringer the singer made a duet with Marc Lavoine “je me sens pas belle'

You chose a very, very special group 😄🇨🇵 Bravo pour votre français

This was a huge success, the song relates to a friend’s death. You can find more classic french songs, chansons, like aznavour, brel... Rita is on the crazy side but french like it too. And the video is a kind of exercice de style on the top of the lyrics. We like to have fun with our culture

c un hommage a marcia moretto , un éloge de la vie face a la mort , coutures , danse , chants , nature et séduction ....un clin d'oeil hispanique pour leur amie

Rita mitsouko are vert good

Don't worry, I heard this song when it came and I STILL don't know what it says! I know it's an hommage to a dancer who died of breast cancer. I have no clue what the words mean. It was a HUUUGE hit in France at the time and can still be heard. Catherine Ringer (the singer) still sings. Chinchin (the guitar player and her husband) died some years ago. My fav of their titles is C'est Comme Ca. Amazing video.

here is the lyric (in French) : Marcia, elle danse sur du satin, de la rayonne Du polystyrène expansé à ses pieds. Marcia danse avec des jambes aiguisées comme des coup'rets Deux flèches qui donnent des idées, des sensations. Marcia, elle est maigre, belle en scène, belle comme à la ville. La voir danser me transforme en excitée. Moretto, comme ta bouche est immense quand tu souris Et quand tu ris, je ris aussi, tu aimes tell'ment la vie. Quel est donc ce froid que l'on sent en toi ? Mais c'est la mort qui t'a assassinée, Marcia. C'est la mort qui t'a consumée, Marcia. C'est le cancer que tu as pris sous ton bras. Maint'nant, tu es en cendres, en cendres. La mort, c'est comme une chose impossible Et même à toi qui es la vie même, Marcia Et même à toi qui es forte comme une fusée. C'est la mort qui t'a emmenée. Marcia danse un peu chinois, la chaleur dans les mouvements d'épaules À plat comme un hiéroglyphe inca de l'opéra. Avec la tête, elle danse aussi très bien Et son visage danse avec tout le reste. Elle a cherché une nouvelle façon et l'a inventée. C'est elle, la saut'relle, la sirène en mal d'amour Le danseur dans la flanelle ou le carton. Moretto, comme ta bouche est immense quand tu souris Et quand tu ris, je ris aussi, tu aimes tell'ment la vie. Quel est donc ce froid que l'on sent en toi ? Mais c'est la mort qui t'a assassinée, Marcia. C'est la mort qui t'a consumée, Marcia. C'est le cancer que tu as pris sous ton bras. Maint'nant, tu es en cendres, en cendres. La mort, c'est comme une chose impossible Et même à toi qui es la vie même, Marcia Et même à toi qui es forte comme une fusée. C'est la mort qui t'a emmenée.

Dans les années 80, peu de femmes se raser sous les bras en Europe 😅 L'époque était comme ça ☺️

The duet with marc lavoine is "Qu'est ce que tes belle"

Thank you for reacting to the video proposal I sent you. And yes, today the French women are shaved :D

If the author listens to me, he absolutely must listen to "c'est comme ça" by Les Rita Mitsouko, more traditional than this musical UFO which has never been remixed, so perfect is its construction. Everyone in France dances to this song, yet it's about the death of Marcia Moretto, a dancer and friend who accompanied them on tour for several years, and of cancer. Surely a song that has become part of French heritage, like Frank Sinatra's My way, ah mince c'est une autre chanson française 😏🥳😀

Listen Catherine ringer in The Late Show ❤

The Rita Mitsouko: were (he died, far too early, but Catherine Ringer is pursuing a great career, solo, sadly) quite "déjantés": great music, great singing, tons of talent and originality.

les Rita Misouko est un groupe complétement décalé, un univers qui ne s'attache à rien. C'est certain que cela peut surprendre mais quand on y regarde de prét on nercherche pas forcément ce que l'on peut trouver au coin de la rue. Les Rita Mitsouko qui ont eu une trés belle carrière en France et au Japon réponde à ceux qui cherche un peu de diversité et d'étonnement. Rita Misouko is a completely offbeat group, a universe that is not attached to anything. It's certain that this may surprise you, but when you look closely you're not necessarily looking for what you can find on the street corner. The Rita Mitsouko who have had a very good career in France and Japan respond to those looking for a little diversity and astonishment.

Dommage que vous n'aimiez pas, ça parle du cancer, c'est dramatique en restant joyeux avec une musique dingue mais faut être sans doute européen pour apprécier😋

Vous avez un excellent accent.

One of the best French bands ever. Try "C'est comme ça".

"Marcia baila" is in Spanish and translates to "Marcia Danse".

"comments" in french = "commentaires'

I am french. Love the song. Never understood the lyrics

Thanks for the reaction. It's great to see US people listening to French songs (BTW, did you know one the most well known song of all time is French ? Guess it... It's My Way... Written by Gilles Thibaut and French star Claude François. French title is Comme D'habitude). So kudos for doing that D. Ahhh... 80's videos... so much fun... so much madness, craziness. Yeah, it's weird, but so arty. The song is about death (of a dancer friend Marcia Moretto). And yeah... we love to melt sadness with joy in songs... You can check Le Petit Train or Les Histoires d'A. More French songs reaction please :) Take care.

it's a mix about Family adams and the world of Tim Burton

Whenever i see or hear this song all i can think about is Rock Et Belles Oreilles parodying this song 😂😂😂

Hello D, So funny 😂 It's also weird and hardly understandable for french people... When you speak french your accent is incredible for an american, let say 98 per cent french ! Always a pleasure to watch your videos...

Le gars qui n'a rien compris au délire des Rita. Si on ne parle pas suffisamment bien français et que l'on n'est pas assez ouvert d'esprit, on passe totalement à côté du sujet et le loufoque l'emporte sur la puissance et l'hommage Dommage...
