Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Du ketchup pour mon hamburger
Donnez-moi Madam' s'il vous plait
Du gazolin' pour mon shopper
Je serai votre pop star je serai votre king
C'est un' question de dollars une affair' de feeling
Des décibels pour mon tuner
Donnez-moi Madam' s'il vous plait
Des boots Made in Angleterre
Je serai votre pop star je serai votre king
C'est un' question de dollars une affair' de feeling
Oh Oh Oh Madam' encor' un petit effort
Oh Oh Oh Madam' j'ai tant besoin de réconfort
Je serai votre pop star je serai votre king
C'est un' question de dollars une affair' de feeling
Oh Oh Oh Madam' encor' un petit effort....
The song "Rock'N'Dollars" by William Sheller is a satirical take on the music industry and the pursuit of fame and wealth. The lyrics speak of a protagonist who requests various items, such as ketchup for his hamburger and gasoline for his shopping cart, from a Madam, likely working at a music studio. The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to become a pop star and a king, indicating a desire for fame and power.
The singer believes that becoming a pop star is simply a matter of dollars and feeling. In other words, if he has enough money and is confident enough in himself, he can achieve his dreams of stardom. The lyrics suggest that the music industry is more concerned with profit than with producing quality music or supporting talented artists. The singer is so desperate for success that he asks for decibels for his tuner, indicating a desire for louder music that will attract attention.
The final lines of the song ask Madam for a little more effort and comfort, perhaps indicating that the singer is struggling and needs support to achieve his goals. Overall, "Rock'N'Dollars" is a commentary on the commercialization of the music industry and the damaging effects that it can have on artists and their music.
