The song Tassez Vous De D’La reached me and I liked it tremendously.
I never rushed out to the store to bring home the album but enjoyed the song anytime I heard it on the radio. I paid little attention to the lyrics because I was too caught up in the grooves and energy of the vocals.
Within the last two years or so, I was browsing blogs and to my surprise found the song listed. I had not heard or thought of the song since the last time I heard it. Seeing the group name and song on the blog was a welcome reminder of how much I loved the song. I was given the chance to hear the song whenever I wanted and pay more attention to the lyrics.
As much as the song is groovy, the theme is depressing and I immediately started wondering if the rest of the group’s music was as bleak. I also wondered about the state of mind of the group's lead singer if those are the lyrics and themes he chose to explore. The video provides subtitles and the words proving my instincts were on alert.
I am not conscious of any other song by Les Colocs but I am willing to bet Tassez Vous De D’La is their signature single. I heard audio of a live performance of the song and it is electrifying.
I was saddened to hear that the Les Colocs lead singer Dédé Fortin, committed suicide. On the strength of Tassez Vous De D’La, I could have been a big fan of the group. I could have wanted to hear more of their music but after of his death, my interest in the group disappeared.
