I had made out most of it while listening to it before, but didn’t get it completely, my French isn’t great. But whenever I listen to it I’m just amazed at the ridiculous premise of this song, Rick Springfield hanging out in a bar in France and trying to tell people he’s a superstar. First off, most (sane) stars want some rest and quiet when they’re somewhere they won’t be recognized and idolized constantly, right? So why would he be saying/singing he’s Rick Springfield, a superstar, anyway. But more laughable is that nobody in France or anywhere in Europe knows Rick Springfield at all, if you ask someone around here who Rick Springfield is they’ll ask “who?”, some might know him from “Jessie’s Girl” but apart from that he’s unknown over here and I doubt many would recognize him even from that song, it’s not very popular over here.
