Plastic Bertrand
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plastic Bertrand was a new wave punk-rock group and solo artist (Roger Jouret, born February 24, 1958) from Belgium, most famous for the parody "Ça plane pour moi" (roughly translated as "The Life For Me"), although the song was neither written nor sung by Jouret and used the backing track from Elton Morello's "Jet Boy, Jet Girl". The group also appeared at the Eurovision Song Contest, representing Luxembourg, in 1987.
When he was a Scout, Jouret formed his first band Bison Scout Band (as a singer and drummer), then Les Pélicans, then Passing the Time, and then in the early days of Punk rock in Belgium Hubble Bubble.
Plastic Bertrand was the cover star of the first ever issue of UK pop magazine Smash Hits in September 1978.
Plastic Bertrand's "Stop Ou Encore" was featured in David O. Russell's Three Kings, starring George Clooney and Mark Wahlberg. "Ça Plane Pour Moi" was featured in the films National Lampoon's European Vacation, Winning London, Eurotrip, and Beerfest.
