Jussik-Je Te Tiens Par La Barbichette!

[Videoskooter]

I can't find the topic where Jussi is mentioning this movie but...finally there's a clip available.

To most members it will be completely unknown but ...
now you can tell all your friends that you have seen (a part of ) it and impress them :icon_mrgreen:

[Bernie]

Johan,
How could you. That was really bad!

[Videoskooter]

Johan,
How could you.

How could I? Ask the Village People and The Ritchie Family! They were in it :icon_eek: How could THEY? How could Jacques Morali? He composed this :icon_eek:

Even King Camp wouldn't approve this :icon_eek:

[canadiantire]

No offense to anyone but this is beyond what I can support.

Show this to anyone who hates Disco music and it will be used as a tool against the music style :icon_confused::icon_confused:

Like Frankie says : - "...the sacrifice of so much for nothing"

And if ANYONE can assist me in acquiring a vinyl copy of this soundtrack, I will give you my first born child!

Seriously, I've been trying to track one down for ages!

I saw that film years ago on a double bill with ATTENTION LES YEUX a french film in which Grace Jones was one of the stars.

Grace spends the majority of the film just flashing her breast & licking her lips...
Since the film is about a bunch of guys trying to make an erotic film ; when Grace is tied to a prop and the guys want to take a lunch break...one guy mentions that they should untie at least one of her hands so that she can find a way to pass the time...

2 truly horribe flicks but they had a disco connection and for that alone they got my $3.50 !!!

Yes, I remember that one about a director and his actors being unsuccessful and try to score by making an x-rated flic! Terrible movie :icon_mrgreen:

And to complete the Disco disaster movies:

"Desperate Moves" (1981) (the exit button is on the top)

That's too funny... The song that plays at the start is called DISCO MAN ; it was done by Montreal jazz singer RANEE LEE and it is a disco version of OH DANNY BOY.She had her first disco hit the previous year with a french version of LE DERNIER AMANT ROMANTIQUE...which was done in english by CHER KOMISAR [Romantic Lover].


The next song is one of my favorites from PATSY GALLANT ; a great HiNRG song written by her husband Dwayne Ford called IT'S GOT TO BE YOU.

Both songs came out the same year [1979] and were on the same label CAM Records.

All I can say is... if La Barbichette was a success in France, I now understand why Can't Stop The Music got made.

I think I made a mistake listening to this song last night . Those Ritchie Family minnie mouse voices replayed in my head all damn day today :icon_eek::icon_sad: :icon_cry: .... and by the end I got to feeling sort of nauseous :icon_sad: :icon_lol:..... of course it was 106' today which also never helps . .....

I was just going through the lyrics and thought I heard what I heard but I had to check... :icon_eek:

La Barbichette (par The Ritchie Family) - fiche chanson - B&M

Throughout the song the girls say "la tapette" [The one who laughs first will get gently hit...]

But in Quebec when you use the term "tapette" it has a whole other meaning...It is 70's slang for an effeminate gay man.

Oh, so *that's* what those guys in Montréal were saying about me...

[JussiK]

In Paris they once told me to play whatever I wanted. When I whipped out "La Barbichette" they said NO, not that, anything but that. This only makes it clear the track has be something exceptional and as such, of definite value as a cult item.

True, there's very little that's subtle or tasteful about the aesthetics of the film or the song itself, but then again as Picasso so well put it, good taste is the arch enemy of creativity. The opening shot of the sequence is straight out of a Ken Russell film but other than that, don't you think the sense of the makeshift and the improvised permeates the choreography. The extras dancing in the background had obviously recieved basic instructions for the children's dance routine "barbichette" but no other directions than: "just stay there and dance, it'll turn out to be fantastic, trust me".

Happy Pride Montreal !!

Why thank you!

I do wish I was in Montréal this weekend...

[Nano]

Hey this is art! :icon_razz:

That shot with the giant toilet paper (or is it just my mind?) was kind of surreal.

And DESPERATE MOVES, that translation! One rollergirl says to the guy who's stalking her: "Are you stocking me?" :icon_eek:

Há... LA BARBI-SHET-TE!:icon_mrgreen:

I got my copy from GEMM about 2 years ago for $14.00, so there is hope!
