Music video description
"Ça Plane Pour Moi" is a song by the band Plastic Bertrand recorded in 1977. The vocal parts in the song were originally performed by Lou Deprijck, the producer and composer. Despite the fact that the song was recorded by many respected artists, it was the version by the Plastic Bertrand group that was the most commercially successful, reaching number 8 on the UK singles chart in the summer of 1978. "Ça Plane Pour Moi" is a punk song that is also sometimes associated with the new wave and parody punk trend. The song's title is a French idiomatic expression that can be translated as "everything goes my way" or "everything flows to me."
The song "Ça Plane Pour Moi" was recorded by Mike Butcher (guitar), John Valcke (bass) and Bob Dartsch (drums). The song was released as the B-side of the single Pogo-Pogo, which was intended to launch Plastic Bertrand's musical career. When the B-side song became successful, the sides were swapped. It is worth mentioning that the original recording of both songs took only two hours.
The hit "Ça Plane Pour Moi" appeared at the top of the charts in many countries around the world. In the United States, meanwhile, it reached #47 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, a significant achievement. Previously, only a handful of French-language songs had reached this prestigious listing. The single sold more than 900,000 copies worldwide.
