webfact Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Pattaya — Legendary Belgian singer Lou Deprijck, renowned for composing the 1970s punk hit “Ca plane pour moi,” and the iconic Pattaya, Pattaya song has passed away at the age of 77, as confirmed by his partner. His most famous international hit, Ca plane pour moi, a lively three-minute track, which translates to “Everything’s going well for me” from French, achieved global stardom when performed by fellow Belgian musician Plastic Bertrand in 1977. In a heartfelt message on social media, Vanessa Vanderkimpen, Deprijck’s partner, expressed her grief, saying, “My sunshine… my darling… my man, my everything. I accompanied you to your last breath as you wanted me to.” With its catchy opening lyrics, “Wham! Bam!”, “Ca plane pour moi” explores the antics of a whisky-drinking cat, a disgruntled girlfriend, hangovers, and beer.

PremiumLane Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 As Joe Strummer once said, about 'Ca plane pour moi' - "Plastic Bertrand compressed into that three minutes a bloody good record that will get any comatose person toe-tapping, you know what I mean? By purist rules, it's not allowed to even mention Plastic Bertrand. Yet, this record was probably a lot better than a lot of so-called punk records." Have always liked the Sonic Youth cover as well 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
