Songs in French

[gemfyre]

The song in the new Mars Bar ad. Does anyone know who it's by/what it's called? It's in French so I can't Google the lyrics.

I think it's from the 80's, sounds kinda surfy and goes "ooo-weee-ooo-oooh" in it.

Haven't heard the ad but i'm assuming it's 'Ca plan poir moi' by Plastic Bertrand :P

Aaaand, for good measure, translations of the lyrics, with an explanation of the colloquialisms that are used, and just what the damn song means!

I'm not sure if any of the other comments' links contain this information: the original was a punk song in english that you don't hear too often on account of the content (gay sex).
