la mousson

C est la mousson
A saigon
il mousse
sur ma maison.

le ciel est noir
c est le cauchemar
il va moussoir
sur mon caffard.

si je pleur , c est qu il pleut,
que la mousse me pique les yeux.
si tu es la sur mon ilot
je ne suis pas le bec dans l eau

ref
si tu es la avec moi
pendant que la mousson passe
jusqu a ce qu elle trepasse
si tu es la avec moi
c est sur que la mousse passera.

solo

il fait trop chaud
clim est ko
je suis en nage
je reve de plage

lachape de plomb
de la polution
il n ya pas d air
c est mon calvaire

si je pleur, je brule de feu
je transpire avec mes yeux
si tu es la dans la fournaise
je me sent quant meme a mon aise

ref
si tu es la avec moi
pendant que cette chaleur passe
jusqu a ce qu elle trepasse
si tu es la avec moi
c est sur la chaleur passera

monte chromatique
refrain x2

si tu es la avec moi
pendant que la vie passe
jusqu a ce qu on trepasse
si tu es la avec moi,
c est vite que la vie passera

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

I really like this song for both the music and the lyrics.
I would be happy to add it to our song list if you agree.

First rehearsal postponed ...

I am available this WE for a compensatory rehearsal.
Let me know if you are interested.
JC

Re-birth of the Frogs !

We had a talk today with Raph and we are motivated to restart the band.
We suggest the following:
  • Music rehearsal every Monday from 6h30 to 8pm => 1 hour and half only !!!
  • Restart playing the songs from Scott and the Froggs
  • Restart playing the compositions from last year
  • Continue to play new songs (composition or rerun (is it correct? I mean reprise in French))
  • The music style would come back to a more Rock n' Roll style
  • Become the music star we have always wanted to be
If you are motivated, let's meet tomorrow, Monday, at 6:30pm at my place for a 1.5 hour (only) rehearsal.
I still leave in the same place.

To keep track of what we play, with Raph, we have prepared you a surprise here

@Olivier: your bass is still at my place
@Scott: I hope you can find time to join the band !!!
@Raph: Thanks for your high motivation.

We would have:
  • Singing: Scott & Raph
  • Guitar: Raph & Scott
  • Bass: Mr. O
  • Drum: JC
It will be great !!!

The Ragga Frogs song


Chords
[A] : Dm A7 Dm A7
[B] : Cm G7 F7 G7

[P1] : Raggae parle – 1 [A]
Une marre au canard
Un nenuphare,
Une grenouille se mouille
Hallo! mes tetards?
La reinette m'a vu, elle m' trouve a sa mouche
J'lui dis morue, “Fermes la, ecoute!”

[V1] : Verse 1 [B] (Folk)
Never singing for politics
Cause we are are not so good at it (Chorus)
Neither for love it freaks me out,
Only try to play music … together with my froggs

[RS]: Refrain [A] (Folk to ska, progressive acceleration)
We are the frogs,
The pretty froggs,
The dirty froggs,
The sexy froggs,
+ 4 x [A without singing] (Music break on the first beat of the 4th [A])

[P2] : Raggae parle – 2 [A]
T'as compris qui j'suis,
un vilain crapeau
Et toi ma jolie,
et bien j't'ai dans la peau
Eh! Ca t'brancherait pas,
une histoire de fesse ?
Mais alors oublies tes reves de princesse!

[V2] : Verse 2 [B] - Folk
Tu vas me voir sortir le soir
Me bourrer au ricard
A la taverne, j'irai...
J'irai avec mes froggs

[RS]: Refrain - Ska

[V3] : Verse 2 [B] - Ska
Come to visit my lilly pad
You'll see I am not so weird,
I am always praying the gods,
For the wind to be blowing

[RS]: Refrain – Ska

finish on the 8th
