Video shot in Paris, produced and directed by Fred Eagle.
Song recorded and mixed by Dennis Rux at Yeah!Yeah!Yeah! Studios Hamburg, with guest Olivier Popincourt on organ and Marie Freud and Gunther Gerhard providing additional clapping assistance.
Thanks to all of them and especially our crowdfunders who made this recording possible.
No cats were harmed in the making of this video (although they were a bit annoyed) ! With respect for the memory of Cecil the Lion and thanks to the Big Cat Rescue organization for their work and the hours of pleasant distraction.
Texte FR :
Pas de télé, ni coffret DVD
On me cause de Mad Men, mon esprit est ailleurs
C’est pas que je sois une intellectuelle
Mais l’alcool m’a déjà assez cramée
La politique actuelle, triste distraction
C’est grotesque, aucune inspiration
Question prédateurs carnassiers
je préfère les greffiers
Il y a qu’une seule chose qui me détend sans me polluer
Je reste scotchée à l’écran
Je regarde les tigres, je mate les beaux félins
Je regarde les tigres, et ça me fait du bien
J’ai des amis de toutes les couleurs
Des stalinistes aux nationalistes
Des galiciens séparatistes
Des Palos, et même, des sionistes
Des cons de gauche
Des cons de droite
Mais on est tous d’accord
Il faut tuer le dentiste !
On regarde les tigres, on mate les beaux félins
On regarde les tigres, et ça nous fait du bien
On est solidaire avec les panthers
les lynxs, lions, les ocelots
les cougars, les pumas, les léopards
les guépards, les jaguars et chats siamois
On regarde les tigres, On mate les beaux félins
On regarde les tigres, Et ça nous fait du bien
English Translation : Note this is a literal translation, do not attempt to sing the English version !!
No television, no DVD box set
People talk about Mad Men, I don’t pay attention
It’s not that I am an intellectual, but alcohol has already killed enough brain cells
Current politics, a depressing distraction ; Grotesque and totally uninspiring
When it comes to carnivorous predators, I prefer the clawed kind
There is only one thing that relaxes me without polluting me
I stay glued to the screen
I look at the tigers, I share at the beautiful felines
I look the tigers, and I feel better
I have all types of friends
From stalinists to nationalists, galician separatists
Palestinians and even zionists
Suckers on the left, suckers on the right
But we all agree, the dentist must be killed!
We look at the tigers, we stare at the beautiful felines
We look at the tigers and we feel better
We are in solidarity with the panthers, lynxes, lions, ocelots, cougars, pumas and leopards
Cheetahs, jaguars and siamese cats
We look at the tigers, we stare at the beautiful felines
We look at the tigers and we feel better
