Palladium
Liz Brady Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Le Palladium
C'est la nouvelle boite
Et tout Paris en parle
Car le jerk
Le shake
Oh, oh, oh, oh Monkiss
Yé yé yé yé Letkiss
C'est au Palladium que l'on peut danser ce qu'on veut
Allez au Palladium, y'a rien de mieux.

C'est là-bas que chaque soir, on voit rentrer tous les copains
Pour crier, danser, chahuter, taper des pieds, claquer des mains
Yé Yé Yé Yé Yé
Et quand ils entendent la musique qui commence
Ils ne se font jamais prier pour rentrer dans la danse
Oh yé, yé yé yé
Mais comment vous dire, mais comment vous expliquer
Allez au Palladium et vous verrez

Ecoutez-les, ça chauffe terrible
J'en crois pas mes yeux
C'est vraiment merveilleux

Le jerk
Le shake
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Monkiss
Yé yé yé yé Letkiss
C'est au Palladium que l'on peut danser ce qu'on veut
Allez au Palladium, y'a rien de mieux.

Yé yé yé yé oh oh
Si vous ne connaissez pas
Le jerk, le shake
C'est au Palladium que l'on peut danser ce qu'on veut
Allez au Palladiium, y'a rien de mieux





Ecoutez-les, ça chauffe terrible

Hey guys, I'm French (Canadian) by ancestry. Here's what the French lyrics mean in English translation:
Palladium

The Palladium

is the new club

all Paris talks about,

because the jerk,

the shake,

Oh oh oh Monkiss

Yeah yeah yeah Letkiss

Palladium is the place, you can dance whatever you want

Go to the Palladium, that's just the best

 

That's where you see all the buddies go every night

to shout, dance, row, tap your feet, clap your hands

Yeah yeah yeah

And as they hear the music starting

they are quite happy to start dancing

Oh yeah yeah yeah

Now how could I tell you, how would I explain.

Just go to the Palladium and you'll see

 

Just listen to them, it's crazy hot

I can't believe my eyes

It's really wonderful

 

The jerk,

the shake,

Oh oh oh Monkiss

Yeah yeah yeah Letkiss

Palladium is the place, you can dance whatever you want

Go to the Palladium, that's just the best

 

Yeah yeah yeah oh oh

In case you don't know

the jerk, the shake

Palladium is the place, you can dance whatever you want

Go to the Palladium, that's just the best

 

Just listen to them, it's crazy hot

The Stella Artois beer commercial led to me search for this artist and song. Wow! what a performance. She was tearing it up back in 1964 and looked like she was having so much fun. Such passion!

@buffaloblues2207

I don't know how Madison Ave finds these classics, but thanks for spreading.

Liz Brady was of English descent but she chose to make a career in France and singing in French.
In this cover of the Sparkles, Liz Brady sings the praises of a very famous nightclub in Paris in the mid 60's, "Le Palladium".
We danced all the fashionable dances there, Jerk, monkeys, shake ...
She left us just 1 year ago, in January 2019.
R.i.p. Liz Brady.

@txmom2boys

She was from Egypt I thought?

@angah82

@@txmom2boys Her father is French and her mother is Greek, but she was born in Egypt. The commenter probably mistook her stage name for her real one, cause it sounds somewhat English. Her real name is Raymonde Fleurat.
