Assedic – Les Escrocs (1994)

The music band ‘Les Escrocs’ is composed of Eric Toulis, Hervé Coury and Didier Morel, who are all born in 1960.

Complete fans of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, they were never able to make a choice between these two. This is why they pick their inspiration in totally different music: soul, jazz, reggae, salsa, brazilian music and latin in general, texts of Serge Gainsbourg, Bobby Lapointe and also Charles Trénet.

This song: ‘Assedic’, was a real success during the 90’s. At this time, they even play in first part of Alain Souchon (french singer), at Paris’ Zénith.

“ASSEDIC…
Je t’écrirai de temps en temps,
Toi tu m’enverras mon virement
Directement,
Tout là-bas, dans mon île
ASSEDIC
Enfin ma place au soleil,
A moi les ciels vermeils
Et les beaux voyages…
M’en priver ce serait dommage.
ASSEDIC
Tu seras ma petite maman,
La Maman de tous les gens
Qui n’ont pas d’argent.”
