It's about a girl who doesn't want to believe to what's really happened last summer & who prefers to live in the past.Ī Serge Gainsbourg / Jane Birkin cover. The title is a reference to Felt & to the Damned.Ī fast, typical Watoo Watoo indiepop tune. I had fun making 2 short instrumental acid/techno tunes with Rebirth. The lyrics & the guitar chords are the greatest tribute to Felt ever! I wanted the WW version to be different (ie, loungy/bossa). I recorded an indiepop version of this song with Mumbly, my other band.
It's quite autobiographical (for once) about me going back to the suburbs where I grew up (Sarcelles, 15km north of Paris). Pascale asked me to write her a jazz song but I did this one -sounds more like the Kinks or Blur, I guess. & there's a real oboe, sunk in reverb because it was out of tune. I wanted to sound like Saint-Etienne but in the end it reminds me of the Cure.įirst song I wrote & recorded! I did a noisy pop version in the summer 1993 but this version was recorded 3 years later, & it's more on the Young marble Giant minimalist side. I think this version sounds more like Felt than the original! It's a cover of a Felt b-side, which was (& still is) a very strong influence. I still like it, but I think we did much better since then. Released before on some comps, some others not. Curiosités ? is a compilation of covers, rare recordings & other strange things.
