@managerman13 actually!?? how do you know!?

This Song is about RAPE

dead serious it actually is

@simplesimplicity4 .. agreed.. Brel touched people's darker emotional places.. and he meant to. He wrote about life as it was.. no glitter or misplaced softness. I think that people who laugh at this song don't get the true meaning...

i think the humour is actually misplaced here. like, great voice, but. idk. like some of Jacques Brel's other songs, i think they're more funny at the beginning but by the end you see that they're actually really sad and frightening.

@EtrangerStranger probably some kind of "inside" joke. He probably sang it on a dare. It is not an easy song to sing.

I don't understand this at all. Forgive me please, but I'm just not grasping the humor. Would someone care to explain?

@texbear21 I saw her perform two days ago in Virginia. I agree completely. She was definitely awesome. ^_^

I was able to see Chita Rivera perform Carosel by Jaques Brel. in July. She was absolutely awesome!

Oh my, this is the original of Maria Friedman's 'Play that Song Again' - funny to listen to!
