(#mp3) Jacques Hourdeaux Sings Red Sovine's Teddy Bear in French - Teddy Boys from Ceci n'est pas un blog

Teddy Boys

Le petit garçon et le routier

I was always simultaneously repulsed and attracted to Red Sovine’s ballad weeper Teddy Bear. If you’re not familiar, it’s a classic CB era country tune about “a young paraplegic boy whose semitrailer truck-driving father had been killed in a road accident, and is left with a CB radio to keep him company.” (Source Wikipedia.) While at a Salon de disque in Paris, I ran across the French version! I once did a radio show where I alternated between French songs and various Americana, mostly country, songs as an experiment in tolerance for the listener and as a challenge to see if I could make the two go together. If only I owned this 45 back then.

Not a whole lot of information to find on the “singer” Jacques Hourdeaux. It appears that he penned several tunes for the likes of Brassens, Sacha Distel, Dalida and Sheila. More info on him if I find it.

The other plus is that it is on the Pink Elephant record label.

Here are the lyrics

Red Sovine's classic most maudlin of Trucker tunes gets the treatment by an unknown Belgian/French chanteur. This is mainly an excuse to hear one of the strangest cross-language covers you can imagine...and you also get to peek into my Picture Photo Folder from my Computer as lagniappe!
