Not really sure about the decor in this thread. IMHO it’s not a better place.

Close the door, light the light
We’re stayin’ home tonight
Far away from the bustle and the bright city lights
Let them all fade away, just leave us alone
And we’ll live in a world of our own

Wasn’t Bertrand Russel who postulated that this life is heaven, and if you’re not enjoying it, then that’s up to you?

It could have been him but it could also have been anyone. Happiness is. It cannot be chased with a butterfly net.

Actually happiness can be chased, you can (at least attempt) to fix circumstance to put yourself in a position where you will be happy.

Heheheeh, that’s a blast from the past. Jeeze, countdown.
I am the king of the divan.
Have you heard the other song released around the same time with the same music? Interesting…

Which one? I do recall Tone Loc, all his music was the same, but still enjoyable.
“Jet Boy, Jet Girl” is a song by Elton Motello about a 15-year-old boy’s sexual relationship with an older man, who then rejects him for a girl.
…
“Jet Boy, Jet Girl” has the same backing track as Plastic Bertrand/Lou Deprijck’s “Ça plane pour moi”. A few months before the vocals for “Ça plane pour moi” were recorded, the record firm used the same backing track with the same musicians to release “Jet Boy, Jet Girl”. Alan Ward recorded his song in English.
It is so weird that Plastic didn’t sing any of the songs, just appeared in the videos.
I mean this is not the only case of this, but in the other examples (eg Bony M, Milli Vanilli) it is because the singers sound better than the people in the video, and the people in the video look better than the singers.
Plastic Bertrand looked like shit and the person who did the singing sounded like shit. What was the point?

A complete waste of time, apart from the bucket load of money they made.

He seems to be singing this live version, but it doesn’t sound any better than the original. Mind you, it’s a very shitty song.

There is zero melody – it’s all “sung” on exactly the same note, and the lyrics are:
Yam! Bam!
My cat Splash lays on my bed
Having swallowed her tongue
From drinking all my whisky
As for me, barely slept, emptied, wasted,
I had to sleep in the gutter,
Where I had a vision
In four colours
Come on, let’s go!
One morning,
A chick came to my place
Cellophane doll, Chinese hair,
A bandaid, a wooden mug (hangover),
Drank my beer, from a big glass
made of rubber
like an Indian in his igloo
Everything’s cool for me
Off we go! That chick,
What a brutality, what a buzz
To send herself to the sack!
Shagged, ruined, emptied, fulfilled,
“You are the king of the divan”
Is what she told me in passing
I am the king of the divan
Everything’s cool for me
Come on! Butt out, back off,
Don’t touch my planet
It’s not today
that the sky will fall on my head
and that I will run out of alcohol
Everything’s cool with me
On we go! My chick took off, beat it
in short, it’s enough to break everything
the sink, the bar, leaving me alone
like a big idiot
I had been fucked (once more)
Everything’s cool for me

I think as a song, it is ideal.
it entertained the masses, made it’s producers a truckload of money.
It’s identifyable within about 5 seconds of hearing it and still gets airplay today.
sounds perfect

A Better Place
clipping.
Produced by Jonathan Snipes & William Hutson
Album Splendor & Misery
If ever you find yourself beaten and broke
And can’t feel the whip for the weight of the yoke
And fear that the night will not turn into day
Remember the darkness will show you the way
It’s a long way away, it’s a long way away
And I’m all alone along a long
Long long long long long long way
Inside the mind of a man is a massacre
Made up of many a miniature message
And misses the most of it
So convoluted, design for disaster
It’s making the best of a universe
Far too expansive to cope with
And he never chose nor was chosen
By metrics that make any sense
And the senses are numbed by emotional stresses
There must be a
Better place to
Be somebody
Be somebody else
Who got time on a string, on a finger?
Nothing to remember
But the passage of it
Who got time to let anything linger?
Where it hovers
Surely you will learn to love it
Who got time for this love shit anyway?
Gotta survive
Isn’t that mess enough for him?
There must be a
Better place to
Be somebody
Be somebody else
Set a course
It’s a bet upon an endless
Roulette wheel odds are ungodly
As are the odds of the body
Making it through and surviving the gravity shift
The gravitas of which is lost
From the lost thoughts of a being ch-ch-chopped
To a bite size in the light eyes
Beggin’ don’t leave the messenger
The messages and SOS and other S’s
In the language where it goes
There must be a
Better place to
Be somebody
Be somebody else
And somebody gotta keep watch where the watch stops
He talks about his pops in polarity
Fingers fantasize of rocks there will never be
“Land ho!” likely
Lest a hole in the mantle of Heaven
He’s demanding the evidence for something
That maybe never was for anyone
He’s missing something pretty
He’s missing where the air tastes gritty
He’s missing the splendor and misery
Of bodies, of cities, of being missed
There must be a
Better place to
Be somebody
Be somebody else
Flesh is weaker than the metal, it is true
But the metal’s being moved into a thing it doesn’t do
Circuitry is only serviceable as much as it is used
So why don’t you use it?
Till you use it up, abuse it
It is strong, it can take it if you can’t
Your sinews are more intuitively designed for dance
Well, it set up a random course safely away from suns
Four-hundred and twenty-three
By a hundred and twelve by fifty-one
There must be a
Better place to
Be somebody
Be somebody else
Inside the mind of a man is a mystery
Made up of these centuries
Of mistakes he believes
Are important to be
Part of his DNA, calls it history
Species with memories longer
Don’t bother with sweating the old shit
Maybe it’s this time-bound conscience
That keeps him out pushing through nothing
With only the hope brought on by this belief that
There must be a
Better place to
Be somebody
Be somebody else
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go yet?
Let’s go
Are you ready to go yet?
Let’s go
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go yet?
Let’s go
Are you ready to go yet?
Let’s go
Are you ready to go?
Are you ready to go yet?
Let’s go
Are you ready to go yet?
Let’s go
There must be a
Better place to
Be somebody
Be somebody else
Go
In defence of Plastic Bertrand, that song was actually supposed to be shitty. Listeners weren’t expected to regard it as a sublime musical experience :)

I don’t like the quality of the sounds produced during the 70’s but there are some exceptions
