Dionysos - Thank you Satan (live!) ...

Ben non jamais contents, râleurs, critiques, coupeurs de ch'veux en quat, grévistes, etc. etc.
Oui c'est un "classique", une chanson que je trouve pleine d'ironie, d'humour (et de provoc). Autant de sentiments que je ne retrouve pas dans cette interprétation. J'aime le balancement lent de celle de Ferré, et sa manière presque nonchalante de lancer son : "Thank you satan".

Argh... Je préfère et de loin la version de Léo !!!

Nice =)

For those who may wonder about these "satanic" lyrics, consider that Mr. Léo Ferré (who wrote this text) was a singer, a poet, but also an anarchist. Thus, he denied the idea of God as a society belief. Plus, French poets (as Baudelaire or Eluard) often use metaphores based on death, religion, love, you know, all that stuff (for instance, remind that "the love" and "the death" sound pretty alike in French : "l'amour" and "la mort").

lltrf, if you are just learning french, how can you be so sure that "satan" means the devil here? It might just be a false cognate. You are jumping to conclusions. Please do some reaserch before you go off into a religious tirade. Who knows, it might just save you some embarassment later on...

the question is not to know if satan is a gentleman or not. I see you're just a dumb you don't speak french so you don't understand the beautiful lyrics. The man who wrote this song didn't believe in god

and to my mind all religions ARE DRUGS!

Jesus in fact disempowers you, like all christian beliefs...

Drugs are excellent
