Kind of the same thing for 'Bernard Minet' in France. This guy is a legend

Yeah, I looked him up too on Spotify when researching. Maybe I should add the Spotify links to my top comment.

It's such a whiplash to go from the Italian one to the French one. Completely different vibes. I love it.

Well, a "legend". Just because it's from our childhood doesn't mean we should disregard how terrible it was.
Bernard Minet's songs were ridiculously childish even for my 9 year old self!

I never specified what 'legend' meant.

His songs are not to my taste. At least, he had his own style. That's something

Wouldn't say his style was that different from, say, Dorothée's. So, not even that.

As someone who wasn't aware of his work until listening to the French intro right after the Italian one gave me a cultural whiplash, I wouldn't hesitate to call him a legend if this intro is representative of the rest of his work. Who knew Sailor Moon could be a sitcom?

If you want to see him on the drums.
That's what we got instead of Cha-la head-cha-la.
Warning: that song is going to stay with you for decades, and not in a good way.

Goodness! He does have a formula, doesn't he?

I dunno, I kinda dig how it's essentially the same song with the same lyric structure. It's so ridiculous I can't help but like it.
