Oyez, oyez! Now that the 2012 French Presidential elections are practically around the corner, we are likely to discover more and more French “parodies politiques“!
One of those, which have surfaced over a year ago, a quite hilarious one actually, is the parodie based on a classic song of French comedian Fernandel called “Félicie aussi“ (“Felicie too”)
One way to look at this “tongue-in-cheek” classique is that it is a French (but, quite frankly, a slightly more sophisticated) equivalent of the American “That’s what she said” sense de l’humour —Starring French President (well, at least for now) Nicolas Sarkozy

“Félicie aussi” by Xavier Morrys
A memorable 1990 remix of Fernandel’s
Then there’s the “Motörhead-like” reprise (cover) played by le groupe Santiago
