The group is chiefly famous for its frontman, real name Didier Chapedelaine, chief lyricist and singer. He deliberately sings off-key and often high-pitched, so has a recognisable voice. His on-stage energy, and crowd-surfing, are major features of the band's live shows, and, since the release of the album Kiss (2000), he comes into the crowd after each performance to hug members of the audience and give them a kiss on each cheek.

Du yaourt espagnol ? Marilyn...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics "Du yaourt espagnol? Marilyn..." in Les Wampas's song "Marilyn" can be interpreted in a few different ways. First, it's helpful to know that "yaourt" is the French word for yogurt. The line itself is fragmentary, meaning it doesn't make complete sense on its own. However, it could be saying something along the lines of "Spanish yogurt? Marilyn... what's that all about?"

Overall, the song "Marilyn" is a tribute to the iconic American actress and model Marilyn Monroe. The lyrics reference both her fame and beauty, such as the lines "I see your image on a canvas / Your face, a magnet for the masses." There is also a sense of nostalgia in the song for a time when Marilyn was still alive and capturing the world's attention.
