"Les Champs-Élysées" is a 1969 song by American-French singer Joe Dassin. It is a French-language cover of "Waterloo Road", a single released the previous year by English rock band Jason Crest.^[1]

Composition

"Les Champs-Élysées" is based on the English-language song "Waterloo Road", written by Michael Antony Deighan and Mike Wilsh, and released by English rock band Jason Crest in 1968.^[1] For Dassin's version of the song, Pierre Delanoë adapted the lyrics into French, and Jean Musy arranged the song.^[2]^[3]

Release and reception

"Les Champs-Élysées" was released by CBS Records as a 7" single in 1969, with "Le Chemin de papa" as the B-side. The single was also included on Dassin's 1969 studio album Joe Dassin (Les Champs-Élysées).^[4] Dassin later recorded versions of the song in English, German, Italian and Japanese.^[1]

While Jason Crest's "Waterloo Road" had been unsuccessful,^[1] Dassin's "Les Champs-Élysées" was a success in multiple European countries, selling 600,000 copies in France.^[5] The song also earned Dassin the 1969 Grand Prix du Disque from the Académie Charles-Cros.^[6]

Music Video

An animated music video for "Les Champs-Élysées" was released on YouTube on 15 June 2024 and was also premiered at the 2024 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The music video was directed by Florent Grattery and with animation created with Caribara Animation.^[7]

Other versions

In the same year (1969) the song was covered by Slovene (then Yugoslav) singer Majda Sepe under the title Šuštarski most (Shoemakers bridge in Ljubljana). This cover was itself later covered by a Slovenian punk cover band Odprava zelenega zmaja.

"Les Champs-Élysées" was covered by American punk icons NOFX on their 1997 album So Long and Thanks for All the Shoes.

In 2018, the song was remade by Paul Pogba and Benjamin Mendy to honor Chelsea Football Club and France National Football Team star N'Golo Kante, known as "he is small, he is kind, he stopped Leo Messi". The adaptation achieved great popularity in France during the French team's title run in the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and also among Kante's teammates.^[14]^[15]^[16]^[17]^[18]

In popular culture

The entire song plays under the closing credits of Wes Anderson's film The Darjeeling Limited (2007).

The melody of Les Champs-Élysées was later used for the television commercial of CJ CheilJedang's dessert brand Petitzel Eclair in 2016, with lyrics sung by I.O.I.

The refrain of the song, accompanied by a yellow bouncing ball over the lyrics, was played during breaks in NBCSN's coverage of the 2018 Tour de France.

The song is performed in the ninth episode (titled "Evil Patrol") of the third season of the DC Comics television show Doom Patrol in 2021 by Riley Shanahan (Ultimax the Brain) and Jonathan Lipow (Monsieur Mallah).

The song, accompanied by a yellow bouncing ball over the lyrics, was played during breaks in events held at the Stade de France during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The song was also played during the closing ceremony as well.^[19]^[20]^[21] During the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Paralympics at the Place de la Concorde, the song was also played as the host nation, France, was introduced in the Parade of Nations.^[22]
