My favorite Cowboys Fringants song
The lyrics are just hysterical, you can really make your own video just by the lyrics. Les Cowboys Fringants "La manifestation" is a real funny take at those far right extremists. "At the demonstration, we were dreaming of revolution!" "I came to the conclusion that it will take a lot of sun or else that won't be anytime soon that we'll have a revolution".

Another favorite Cowboys Fringants tune: Awikatchikaen
Check their live performance
Awikatchikaen is probably one of my favorite Cowboys Fringants song! There is no official music video for it, but many live performances and fan made clips. The best live version I have found is on dailymotion (you can check it here:
Awikatchikaen live!). You will understand why they are so hot live.
Here's 2 other versions you can view: a fan-made one and a live from 2010.

Plus Rien - Les Cowboys Fringants
Plus Rien = nothing left
I don't really love the video. I find the song depressing and scary because it so close to what may happen to our earth very soon if we don't change how we live. I cry everytime I hear the song. This is one of Les Cowboys Fringants classic.
It is the story of a kid who has only a few minutes to live. He is the last human alive. He remembers what his ancestors told him about earth: a nice blue planet, with river and life. Now it looks like a moon, every one died an atroucious death because the human kind kill the earth for profit. Farewell Humanity.

Why the French lost their North American colonies to the British according to Les Cowboys Fringants? They drank too much before Plains of Abraham battle and were so drunk they could not fight! For the real Plains of Abraham battle history see here: Plains of Abraham

- Interesting sound. I think it would need a few more listens for me to like them, and maybe to see/listen to them in Canada too, that always makes a difference.

- Thanks to squidoo, this is the first time I heard about this band. They are cool, esp the Awikatchikaen. Its kinda punk hardcore. Btw, what is the meaning of Awikatchikaen?

- Awikatchikaen is a nonsense word. It just shows how crazy the person became while living alone in the woods.
