"La Belle et le Bad Boy" (The beauty and the bad boy) is the seventh song on the album Cinquième As by the french Hip Hop artist MC Solaar and the only single released in America. This single had moderate success after being featured on the series finale of Sex and the City.[1] It was also featured in Britain on the BBC series World Cup Stories, in the episode on the French football team. Here it was used to help emphasise the multi-cultural nature of the team which won the 1998 World Cup. The song's title is a take off on the traditional folktale Beauty and the Beast. The track's instrumental was produced by Hassan Ansari.
[edit] Story
The lyrics tell the story of two young lovers. They meet in school and the girl is quickly pulled into the world of crime by her rebellious boyfriend. The song ends with the young woman being shot to death.
