Released in 2022, the title Clic clic pan pan de Yanns had already won the ears of listeners. But it is thanks to his presence in the comedy of Artus, A little something extra, that the piece truly had a second life.
The song was propelled to the forefront thanks to the release of the film which exceeded ten million admissions in theaters. An immense pride for the artist who would obviously have liked to take advantage of the success of the feature film to climb the steps of the Cannes Film Festival alongside the actors.
Yanns refused at the Cannes Film Festival
“I said to myself, I want to give them a fantastic pleasure that no one has ever done, which is to accompany them to the Cannes Film Festival and sing the Music with them, but I didn't understand, they refused“, he confides to Jordan de Luxe on the set of the show At Jordan's this Wednesday, November 20, 2024.
Although he does not want to accuse anyone directly, Yannick Schweitzer, his real name, seems upset by this rejection. “I don't want to say Artus or the production company, but I was told: 'The Cannes Festival is made for actors, Yanns is a singer, there are the NRJ Music Awards for him.' It hurt my heart“, he adds.
For good reason, the singer believes he has “no success“to take from the actors.”I sometimes see people saying: Click click bang bang luckily he made the film. He entered the film, he was already a double diamond. Double diamond means 100 million streams“.
A hit that breaks records
In the past, Yanns has not hesitated to highlight the success of his hit. “The Clic clic pan pan sound, it's been two and a half years since it came out and with my teams we realized that it remained in the top 100, while in general hits in France last 5-6 months“, he said in particular during an interview given to BFM TV.
And to continue: “Clic clic pan pan did it all. She made the final of Dancing with the Stars, she did The Voice, even in Belgium, she went abroad. The only thing she hadn't done was a movie“.
Despite the refusal that sticks in his throat, the artist, who recently got married, can proudly boast of having broken records!
