Formed by Clément Marchand (guitar & vocals) and Alexandre Castagnetti "Alec" (keyboard & vocals), their songs use many different musical styles (zouk, disco, folk, chanson) and deal with daily themes, politics, ecology, people, to name a few. They usually inspire a lot of positive energy and good mood ("bonne humeur" was their very first song).
Initially a mere funny experiment, they became quite popular in France through the video-sharing and social networks web sites, and particularly through their song "Petit cheminot" during a strike in December 2007.

La Chanson Du Dimanche Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sunday song, c'est toute l'après-midi
Sunday song, Sunday song, Sunday song, my Sunday song
Sunday song, chante avec tes amis
J'ai pris le pick-up pour aller te chercher
Sacré nom d'un God, tu n'étais pas arrivée
Je fais un stop au snack, je prends un pancake, un café
Sunday song, Sunday song, Sunday song, my Sunday song
Sunday song, c'est toute l'après-midi
Sunday song, Sunday song, Sunday song, my Sunday song
Sunday song, chante avec tes amis
Je passe au Motel faire un smack à Marilou
Sacré nom d'un God, elle n'est pas au rendez-vous
Je visite l'oncle George, on ouvre une bouteille de whisky
On watch le match de catch à la TV
Sunday song, Sunday song, Sunday song, my Sunday song
Sunday song, c'est toute l'après-midi
Sunday song, Sunday song, Sunday song, my Sunday song
Sunday song, chante avec tes amis
Sunday song dans l'escalier, Sunday song au cabinets
Qu'est-ce que c'est fun de chanter du nez
Sunday song à la piscine, Sunday song à la cantine
Sunday song, c'est toute l'après-midi
Solo...
Sunday song, Sunday song, Sunday song, my Sunday song
Sunday song, c'est toute l'après-midi
Sunday song, Sunday song, Sunday song, my Sunday song
Sunday song, chante avec tes amis
