The Bobby McGee's - S'Amuser Com des Fous

The Bobby McGee's really should be illegal, what with depicting teddy bears bloody-mouthed and raucous on their latest EP cover and renaming their songs all over the place.

For the record the content of the song entitled Danny Baker/Bob Marley (previously simply Audrey Tattou) here has nothing to do with the two men in question, though, ahem, I do happen to know the obscure allusion (the story is that Danny Baker set the ball rolling for Bob Marley's death by breaking his toe in a football match), but such a faux-pas is typical of the McGee's mischief.

S'Amuser Com des Fous is outlandishness with a true romantic heart, six anti-folk songs that sway with the tenderness of a kiss and the humour of beatific outsiders. It's the kind of terrorism you can fall in love to.
