Boby Lapointe
Robert (Boby) Lapointe (April 16, 1922 - June 29, 1972) was a French singer, noted for his humorous texts full of puns, alliterations, spoonerisms and paronyms. He was a friend of Georges Brassens who helped him along on the Parisian scene.
He was born in Pézenas, in the Hérault département of France. A brilliant scholar, he prepared for the entrance exam to the Centrale (engineering school) and Sup-Aero at Montpellier, but was conscripted into the Youth Building Projects in 1942 and sent to Germany in 1943 for compulsory work service.

He escaped the same year, and found work as a diver in La Ciotat, a suburb of Marseilles, in 1944.
In 1946, he married Colette Maclaud. They had two children, Ticha (born 1948) and Jacky (1950).
His first published work, Les douze chants d'un imbecile, appeared in 1951. He moved to Paris and opened a fashion and baby clothes shop, still writing and producing plays. Later, he switched to being a fitter of TV aerials and began singing.
In the 1960s, Boby Lapointe started an actor’s career and acted in films by some of the greatest French directors, among which François Truffaut and Claude Sautet.
His fame grew when the actor Bourvil sang Lapointe's song Aragon et Castille in the 1954 film Poisson d'avril. In 1960, film director François Truffaut offered him a part in Tirez sur le Pianiste in which he played Framboise, accompanied by Charles Aznavour on piano. This marked the start of a career that saw Lapointe perform at major venues throughout France. His joyful character led him to build friendships with French stars Anne Sylvestre, Raymond Devos, Jacques Brel and Georges Brassens.
Lapointe was also a mathematician, and developed the bi-bi-binary system (also known as the bibi system) in 1971.

Aragon et Castille
Boby Lapointe Lyrics
Au pays da-ga d'Aragon
Il y avait tu gud'une fill'
Qui aimait les glac's au citron
Et vanille
Au pays de-gue de Castille
Il y avait te-gue d'un garçon
Qui vendait des glaces vanill'
Et citron
Moi j'aime mieux les glac's au chocolat
Poil au bras
Mais chez mon pâtissier il n'y en a plus
C'est vendu
C'est pourquoi je n'en ai pas pris
Tant pis pour lui
Et j'ai mangé pour tout dessert
Du camembert
Le camembert c'est bon quand c'est bien fait
Viv' l'amour
A ce propos rev'nons à nos moutons
Vendre des glac's c'est un très bon métier
Poil aux pieds
C'est beaucoup mieux que marchand de mouron
Patapon
Marchant d'mourron c'est pas marrant
J'ai un parent
Qui en vendait pour les oiseaux
Mais les oiseaux
N'en achetaient pas, ils préféraient l'crottin
De mouton
A ce propos rev'nons à nos agneaux
Au pays da-ga d'Aragon
Il y avait tu gud'une fill'
Qui aimait les glac's au citron
Et vanille
Au pays de-gue de Castille
Il y avait te-gue d'un garçon
Qui vendait des glaces vanill'
Et citron
Mais la Castill' ça n'est pas l'Aragon
Ah ! mais non
Et l'Aragon ça n'est pas la Castille
Et la fill'
S'est passée de glac's au citron
Avec vanille
Et le garçon n'a rien vendu
Tout a fondu
Dans un commerc' c'est moch' quand le fond fond
Poil au pieds
A propos d'pieds, chantons jusqu'à demain
Au pays da-ga d'Aragon
Il y avait tu gud'une fill'
Qui aimait les glac's au citron
Et vanille
Au pays de-gue de Castille
Il y avait te-gue d'un garçon
Qui vendait des glaces vanill'
Et citron

Géniaaaal. J'écoutais tout le temps ça quand j'étais toute petite avec mon père, les chansons de Lapointe étaient mes préférées. Ca faisait bien 15 ans que je l'avais plus entendue, mais elle m'est revenue en tete l'autre jour (incroyable à quel point je m'en souviens encore bien, j'avais 4-6 ans à l'époque). Très contente de l'avoir trouvée, merci ^^
