I just heard this song by Vincent Delerm, off his album Kensington Square. I know nothing about him or his music or this song. I'd appreciate it if someone here clued me in. Thanks!

I got some heaven in my head

He's a very fashionable boring singer whose biggest hit was a song with the chorus: "The girls from 1973 are 30, la la la la."

I think I must have heard that "Veruca Salt and Frank Black" song once. Or the first half of it - I usually fall asleep at that point. From what I've gathered it's about a girl (who probably turned 30, la la la la somewhere along the way) who was into VS and FB (read: obscure pop music no one else used to listen to).

As far as I understand, all his songs are about girls he didn't get because he was so boring. I guess I should relate, but he's really too smug and just plain fucking boring.

I never heard this song, but I suspect Vincent D. is at least as boring as his father Philippe, who has written dozens (and sold millions) of books about nothing - I mean, really nothing.

OK, time to get drunk now.

yeah, "fucking boring", that's exactly the terms to define this guy and his music (and his father's books as well)

he probably thought it was still cool to use that kind of "name dripping" in a bad french light music song, with his dirty Miossec-esque voice kinda saying: "look, I know these bands, I listened to rock 'n' roll in the 90's, now I play my music on a piano, and I like to think I am Serge Gainsbourg"

I haven't heard that song and couldn't find the lyrics so I can't tell you what it is about. I only know Delerm's first album and I think some of the songs are not so bad. But I think the way he sings and his voice are not really pleasant to listen to, and the music seems always the same. So I don't really like him.
