I got the message and the message is clear
I really really really really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton d’allumettes
It says I don’t really miss you but I haven’t tried yet
I have the message & the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c’est facile a dire and it’s easy to say
Well it’s mine
Not Yours
Get down
On all fours
Well live long
And hard
On this road
To mars
Got a good thing, yeah, got you going
Everybody’s moving, watch out it’s showing
I have done a good thing I’ve got you dancing, Everybody’s happy
I have done a good thing, I’ve got you moving, Everybody’s dancing
You’re really grooving
I have done a good thing don’t dansez moderne
Everybody’s happy
I got the message and the message is clear
I really really really really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton d’allumettes
It says I don’t really miss you but I haven’t quite yet
I got the message & the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c’est facile a dire and it’s easy to say
C’est mon
C’est toi
C’est nous
C’est cool
C’est long
C’est dur
Frappons
Nos tetes contre les murs
I got a good thing, got you going
Everybody’s moving, it’s really showing
I have done a good thing I’ve got you dancing, Everybody’s happy
I have done a good thing, I’ve got you moving, Everybody’s dancing,
It’s really groovy
I have done a good thing, don’t dansez moderne
Everybody’s happy
I got the message and the message is clear
I really really really really wish you were here
It was written on the back of a carton d’allumettes
It says I don’t really miss you but I haven’t quite yet
I got the message & the message is proof
There really is a thing they call the rhythm of youth
It will pick you up and it will make you wiggle this way
Et c’est facile a dire and it’s easy to say
It’s mine
Not Yours
Get down
On all fours
Well It’s long
And hard
This road
Road to mars
Ahhhhhhhh
I'm From Maine USA and up until the 80s there was a lot of French Canadian influence. It seems to be gone now. I also miss a lot of GREAT 80s music that came out of Canadian bands like Men Without Hats. I miss it. It was full of electricity and sharp focus. Men Without Hats helped define the 80s.
--- "it was written of the back of carton d'allumettes,
--- it said i don't really miss you but i haven't tried yet."nearly a laurie-anderson-line ;-) i've alwas loved this song. it was titile-giving to their 1982 Vinyl album "rhythm of youth":
" I got the message and the message is proof,

- i have done a good thing,
- i got you dancing and everbody's happy."
