Already cult as possible, Les Inconnus takes a new step. Sunday June 16, singer Iggy Pop played the iconic song on his music show on BBC Radio 6 Music It’s you that I love des Inconnus, a parody of alternative groups like Mano Negra.
“It was The Unknowns”, explained Iggy Pop after broadcasting the song. “It’s a French comedy troupe. Together they made this humorous album. It’s a parody of French punk bands.” “One of my French friends sent it to me. It’s a strange song, where the protagonist lists all the ways he will change to obtain the object of his desire. At one point he says, ‘I won’t pee in the sink again’“, the legendary rock singer released this sentence in French, before translating it for English-speaking listeners.
On his show, Iggy Pop added: “People ask me: ‘Have you ever made similar sacrifices for love? Well, no. Not at all. Sometimes I make a little effort to make it work out but never for love.’
