principal songs
Fous ta cagoule
-
The first single of Fatal Bazooka, Fous ta cagoule, gains one big hit. The group has fun to transpose the urban style within the framework of the snow-covered mountains of Savoy. The clip was produced by Nicolas Benamou. The single topped the charts[1] in France in January 2007.
Mauvaise Foi Nocturne
-
This single, released in 2007, parodies the song Confessions nocturnes from beginning to end of Diam's and Vitaa. Michaël Youn, alias “Fatal”, parodies the character of Diam's, while Pascal Obispo, alias “Vitoo”, takes on Vitaa.
The music is identical to the original song, but the words are modified. The clip puts in scene a history similar to Confessions nocturnes, where Fatal and Vitoo try to take again the top on the girlfriend of Vitoo which is avenged to be misled by this one.
There exist at least four versions of this song, including/understanding each different part (in particular the scene in the car, after having left the apartment of the young lady).
J'aime trop ton boule
Fatal Bazooka's third single parodies ragga singers such as Lord Kossity, and of course Sean Paul. The beginning of the clip puts in scene, the arrival of Fatal in a nightclub. The clip initially makes believe that it tries to allure a girl, then the girl is literally isolated, and the interest of Fatal goes finally on a man (played by Magloire). The remainder of the clip is an anthem full with humour to the male body, with a décomplexé homoerotism.
In a sequence of the clip, the men rub langoureusement while using electric drilling machines on planks of wood, same manner that girls make do-it-yourself in way obscene in the clip of Satisfaction, of Benny Benassi. Another sequence of the clip parodies that of individual the techno of Eric Prydz Call on me, which puts in scene a languorous meeting of fitness between girls, but in the parody all the participants are men.
This video is known American Net surfers to have turned in loop in some blogs. However, some would not have understood that it was about a parody, believer to see “a true” group of French rap.
Trankillement
Trankillement takes again the stereotyped self-centredness of American rappers (of which some their tracks have as words to emphasize themselves), the whole turned in derision (always in the context of the source of the Alps, with the wink in Chambéry). One sees in the Fatal clip and another accomplice, to undoubtedly parody Lord Kossity once again there, in the middle of a parody of the party environments often present in the clips of rap American (environment alcohol, sexy and bikini) turned in derision. One recognizes a little the Jackass style of film Les 11 commandements of Michaël Youn (and whose main actors are the members of the group) behind the chaos generated by the party (the scene in the swimming pool would have been turned besides in a villa of the Riviera in whom the team of turning and the actors would have entered illegally, in the absence of the owner, which is completely in the spirit of film). The clip is stuffed winks, in particular with the frunkp and “choreographies of the summer”. The rabbit of the clip seems to be a wink with the clip “Beautiful” of Moby.
The clip was produced by Kourtrajmé.
Parle à ma main
-
Parle à ma main or PAMM is the fifth individual one of the album T'as vu, of Fatal Bazooka. The song is interpreted by Michaël Youn and Yelle. Michaël Youn sings under the features of Christelle Bazooka, sister of Fatal.
It was named Clip of the year at the NRJ Music Awards of 2008.
Style
The visual one of Fatal Bazooka makes allegiance with the most ostentatious style bling-bling. The small pocket of the album is an improved image of Michaël Youn, projecting barechested and muscles, with the manner of the American rapper 50 Cent (see the cover of The Massacre).
