"The French are a smallish, monkey-looking bunch and not dressed any better, on average, than the citizens of Baltimore. True, you can sit outside in Paris and drink little cups of coffee, but why this is more stylish than sitting inside and drinking large glasses of whiskey I don't know." —P.J O'Rourke (1989)

  • Where the hell did you get the idea to combine Billy K with Nique-nique S - Absolutely fucking brlliant. 'Spectacular but dodgy' sums up Sarko in one phrase. Géniale!!

    The song is, of course, a classic. Loved it

  • A true minstrel. Genius.

  • Brilliant

  • So funny!

  • the sarkozy reference is way off the mark - the song says he never picked the beautiful ones as you have a picture of model carla bruni in a bikini

  • Many thanks to you for your help

  • The Jolly Captain

  • Help

    i would like the title of the song where he buries his Mrs facing downwards . I saw Jake perform it on Thats life years ago

  • Me thinks he was referring to Sarko's ego, not Jake's.

  • Now then. Thanks for the vid. Always loved this song. Like the Sarkozy connotation!

    I'd love to see a performance of 'Rememberance' by Jake - one about getting killed in no-mans-land in an unspecified war. It was on a BBC doc about Jake once, but that is the only time I've heard it. If you find it please put it up, thanks.

  • great song, wish we had a video of it. Such clever words too. what a lot of crap the chap earlier says about the man's ego. Maudie25
