After… Read Full Bio ↴Superbus is a five-piece French power pop band formed in 1999.
After a trip to the USA in 1999, Jennifer Ayache went looking for musicians to make a group. She met Michel Giovannetti, a guitarist, and François Even, a bassist, who already knew each other from another group, and formed a new band. They started out as a three-piece before 2 other members joined. Those two were later replaced by Guillaume Rousé (on drums), and Patrice Focone (on guitar). Rousé quit the band in 2005 and was replaced by Greg Jacks, drummer of the band No One Is Innocent.
The band got their name from the Latin word "superbus", meaning proud, supposedly when lead singer Jennifer Ayache stumbled upon that word while browsing a Latin dictionary.
Superbus' style is reminiscent of a vast array of bands, from No Doubt to Weezer, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Sublime.
In 2002, Superbus released their debut album, "Aéromusical".
The track "Tchi-cum-bah" was the demo which caught the interest of David Salsedo, allowing Superbus to make a full album.
The band's second album, "Pop'n'Gum", released in 2004, was produced by David Salsedo from Silmarils.
The track of the same name as the album was featured in a commercial for the Malabar chewing gum.
In 2005 they won the Best French Act award at the MTV Europe Music Awards. Superbus also made a debut in Guitar Hero III with their song Radio Song, featured as an unlockable bonus song. According to the Sikoras, Superbus are the founders of 'girl noise garage rock', a genre involving garage rock mixed with girl noise.
In 2006 the band released their third album "Wow" which reached number 6 on french album charts.
A year later Superbus released their first dvd Superbus Live A Paris which features videos from a year and a half of touring.
In 2009, Superbus released their fourth album "Lova Lova". The reissue of the album included a cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass", which was originally a bonus track for the 2006 album "Wow".
In 2010, Superbus released their first best-of compilation album, "Happy Busday", which had "Mes défauts" as the lead single of the album, while also including 3 tracks (On s'aime, Eddy, Téléphonie) which are made for the album.
In 2012, Superbus released their fifth album "Sunset". The album's recording took in place in Los Angeles.
The album's lead single was "All Alone" , a video was released for it in June 3.
The album included a cover of The Buggles' hit song Video Killed The Radio Star.
After Sunset's tours are finished, the band members did different projects. The lead singer, Jennifer Ayache went on her solo project and made her first solo album +001, bassist François Even started the band Mr. Freak, drummer Greg Jacks reformed his former band, The Dukes.
In 2016, Superbus recorded their sixth album "Sixtape". The album's name is a reference to the album's number.
The album had three singles: "Strong & Beautiful" and "On the River", and "4 tourments". Tracks "Strong & Beautiful" and "On the River" also have a piano-driven acoustic version.
In January 2020, the band released a new single named "Silencio", this single is released under the label Verycords, a division of Warner Music France. Silencio became the lead-off track on their EP XX released Mar 6, 2020.
Ça mousse
Superbus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'ai pris le temps de mouiller mon savon parfumé
Je laisse laisse aller mon dos dans l'eau douce
Un peu de couleur salée aller dans la mousse
Les bulles de savon se trémoussent
Les boules de citron m'éclaboussent
Je laisse laisse aller mon dos dans l'au douce
Un peu de parfum moussant aller dans ma bouche
Ça mousse mousse entre toi et moi
J'ai la peau douce douce comme de la soie
Ça mousse mousse entre toi et moi
Ça m'éclabousse bouse comme de la soie
J'entre à pied joints dans mon eau parfumée
J'ai pris le temps d’âme mouiller pour ne pas me noyer
Je laisse laisse aller ma tête à l'envers
Un peu de couleur salée aller dans la mer
Les bulles de savon restent dans l'air
Les boules de citron m'exaspèrent
Je laisse laisse aller mon dos dans l'au douce
Un peu de parfum moussant aller dans ma bouche
The lyrics to Superbus's song Ca Mousse depict a relaxing bath time experience. The singer vividly paints a picture of entering the bath and taking the time to wet their scented soap before letting their back sink into the water. As the bath fills with bubbles, the singer is able to let go and ease their mind. The bubbles and citrus scents offer a refreshing and invigorating experience, providing a bodily sensation of sweet and salty sensations. The chorus of the song refers to the foam, or "mousse," created by the bubbly water, imagining it as a physical connection between the singer and another person.
The lyrics are unique in their ability to describe the physical sensations of bath time so vividly. The singer's description of opening themselves up to the elements of the bath and allowing the scents and sensations to envelop their body is especially evocative. The chorus is also cleverly crafted, using the word "mousse" to create a double meaning - both as a reference to the foam in the bath and as a playful way of describing a physical connection between people. Overall, the song celebrates self-care and relaxation, providing a moment of escape for listeners.

J'entre à pied joints dans mon bain de pensées
I immerse myself completely in my thoughts
J'ai pris le temps de mouiller mon savon parfumé
I took my time to wet my scented soap
Je laisse laisse aller mon dos dans l'eau douce
I let my back relax in the sweet water
Un peu de couleur salée aller dans la mousse
Some salty color mixes with the foam
Les bulles de savon se trémoussent
The soap bubbles dance around
Les boules de citron m'éclaboussent
The lemon balls splash me
Je laisse laisse aller mon dos dans l'eau douce
I let my back relax in the sweet water
Un peu de parfum moussant aller dans ma bouche
Some foaming perfume goes in my mouth
Ça mousse mousse entre toi et moi
It's foaming between you and me
J'ai la peau douce douce comme de la soie
I have a soft, silky skin
Ça mousse mousse entre toi et moi
It's foaming between you and me
Ça m'éclabousse bouse comme de la soie
It splashes me like silk
J'entre à pied joints dans mon eau parfumée
I step into my scented water
J'ai pris le temps d’âme mouiller pour ne pas me noyer
I took my time to wet my soul so as not to drown
Je laisse laisse aller ma tête à l'envers
I let my head hang upside down
Un peu de couleur salée aller dans la mer
Some salty color goes into the sea
Les bulles de savon restent dans l'air
The soap bubbles stay in the air
Les boules de citron m'exaspèrent
The lemon balls annoy me
Je laisse laisse aller mon dos dans l'eau douce
I let my back relax in the sweet water
Un peu de parfum moussant aller dans ma bouche
Some foaming perfume goes in my mouth
