Jean Leloup - Le monde est à pleurer
I'm not quite sure what to say about this.
I'm not sure which is trippier and more mesmerizing--the video, or the song.
In any case, Jean LeLoup is a truly original (and possibly very crazy) artist.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_leloup
Jean Leclerc (born May 14, 1961) is a Québécois singer-songwriter and author from Quebec, Canada. He is popularly known as Jean Leloup (which he likes to translate to John the Wolf in English), a stage name he kept using until 2006, when he temporarily changed his name to Jean Leclerc, only to resurrect his wolf character in August 2008. He is known for his colourful personality and unique musical style in the francophone rock community.
Born in Sainte-Foy, Quebec, Leclerc grew up in Togo and Algeria, where he was influenced by traditional African rhythms.

sensass!
woowee, i love jean leloup. you should hear the song "alger" which is about his childhood growing up in, of course, algeria.
Woh, strange, funny, boring, disturbing, just damn strange. I love that coat though, classic, tassel.
yeah, the lyrics are about as damn strange as the video.
sort of about how life is awful, but god and buddha and krishna and manitou have a meeting to see what they can do about it, and then they need drugs to help facilitate the meeting, so there's some conversation between them about that, followed by their collective despair over teenage acne and the ugliness of humanity, and then there's something about glued ears and parc lafontaine and public toilets and teeth-rage
allez hop! un peu de sincerite! le monde est a pleurer!
