Got a favorite song? I got tons of them, artists too. I’ll be returning to some of those in the future but today I want look at a song I’m possibly excessively obsessive about.

“Ça plane pour moi”

The music was composed by Lou Deprijck, Yvan Lacomblez wrote the lyrics. The song was covered by many artists, though Plastic Bertrand’s original recording was the most successful, reaching No. 8 on the UK charts in the summer of 1978.

I want to address the “covered by many artists”. At this moment in time I have versions by these artists on my IPod.
