CA PLANE POUR MOI was their first single release
from AN 1 and is widely regarded as a New Wave classic for its gleefully
deranged stupidity, with Jouret singing French nonsense lyrics in a cartoonish
voice over basic three-chord rock & roll complete with saxophones and a
falsetto vocal hook straight out of the Beach Boys or Four Seasons. The song
was a smash hit in Europe and became a cult favourite in America (#39 Billboard
Hot 100) and peaked at #8 in the UK charts.
