Press:
The Fader: "Less 'rock band' than all-out 'experience,' a thoroughly modern hybrid that defies easy categorization."
LA Weekly: "A theatrically vibrant blur of thrash-mariachi, psychedlic distortion, histrionic vocals, performance art, punk rock, surrealism, Mexican telenovelas and five-dollar-store fasions."
ARTFORUM: "Globe-trotting emissaries of trash in translation, a refreshing brand of cross-cultural misprision... Talk about a surprise vantage on the touchy elisions of imperialist modernism!"
Fluxblog: "This is technically an ESG cover, but there's got to be a better word for what Los Super Elegantes do with this song. The basic elements that make "Dance" one of the best dance songs ever written remain intact, but the band adds new verses and hooks that actually build on the greatness of the original. It's rather like buying a buying a beautiful old house and renovating it so that everything you add to the structure only enhances the aesthetic charm of the design."
Gorilla Vs. Bear: "The band, whose name loosely translates to 'The Super Elegantes,' is unclassifiable in its greatness. Each song seems to dabble in about 3 different genres and multiple languages, and yet it somehow comes together perfectly.
Je Suis Bien
Los Super Elegantes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Je suis terrible, je suis terrible
Je suis bien, je suis très bien
Je veux De Gaulle et Notre Dame
Je suis bon, je suis très bon
Libération pour les pauvres cons
Je veux le château de Robert!
Je suis bien, je suis en bas du cinéma,
et je t'aime, je t'aime comme
Je suis bien, je suis très bien
Je veux Chirac et Napoléon
Je suis bon je suis très bon
La répression est très fatale
Monique, Philippe, on y va à la plage!
The lyrics of Je Suis Bien by Los Super Elegantes is a French phrase that translates to "I am fine" in English. However, the lyrics are not as straightforward as they may seem. The lyrics are a repetition of the phrase "Je suis bien" in different variations, creating a playful and upbeat tune. The lyrics also mention some historical and political figures like De Gaulle, Notre Dame, Chirac, and Napoléon.
The lyrics may be interpreted as the singer expressing their contentment and enjoyment of life. They also seem to be making fun of people who take themselves too seriously, as seen in the line "Libération pour les pauvres cons" which can be translated to "Liberation for poor idiots." The lyrics seem to be suggesting that people should not take life too seriously and instead learn to embrace the moment and enjoy the small things in life.
