Catherine Ringer is just amazing! ... Sadly her husband Fred Chichin passed away in 2007 .. Marcia Baïla, sung with a forced Spanish accent, was a tribute to Marcia Moretto, an Argentinian dancer who died of cancer in the early 80s, with whom Catherine took lessons in the 70s.

Catherine Rinnjeur ahaha. With her lover Fred Chichin. Great of you (finally!) for discovering this classic "you just can't not dance on it" song . If only you could understand the lyrics. It's just fantastic, evily good, gets you on with the music that you end up not only dancing it but feeling it (from the start to be honest). Les Ritas were iconic and simply Cool with a big C. Very arty and creative in whatever they do. " When your mouuuth is immeeeeeense When you smiiiiiiile And when you lauuuuuuugh, I smiiiiile with youuuuuu, You so much love liiiiiife, What's this COLD THAT WE FEEL IN YOU ? It's DEATH that killed you Mathias, It's DEATH that consumed you Mathias, It's cancer You took under your arm, Now you're in DUST, in DUST, Death is like an impossible thing, Even with you who's strong like a rocket, Even you who IS LIFE MARCIA, IT's DEATH WHO TOOK YOU AWAAAYYYYY AYYYY AYY AYY AY...." For the record ;)

I was 15 when this came out and i loved it right from the start. The music, her voice, the video, the lyrics, etc. So many elements to hear, watch, enjoy ! And the statement : "And death, it's like an impossible thing" that makes you have a look (again) at the absurdity of life, it was striking (makes you feel hopeless and makes you wanna live so much !) .... Later, after Fred's death, it took another added sense.... And it takes more added sense when you have lost a person you loved... So, definitely, this song works on so many levels, you just can't count them

Rita totally rocks and it is funny... when I am in France with friends... everyone stops what they are doing in the car and sings this song as a group. Everyone in France (generalization there, eh) loves this song.

As someone who grew up in this era (I was 24 when this was released)..it really didn't seem very experimental or different at all...check out Poly Styrene, Hazel O'Connor, Souxsie Sioux et al.

Great song indeed ! It’s a song about dance and griev, filled with sadness, anger and joy In the same time. Still very popular in France 🇫🇷 Unfortunately Fred Chichin died In 2007, Catherine continues to sing with the name « Catherine Ringer chante les Rita Mitsuko » Thanks a lot for your video, very moving

all the strangeness of the music, the dance and the song, only emphasizes the lyrics. Indeed, she speaks of Marcia saying: "you love life so much" then screams "but it is death that murdered you, it is the cancer that you took under your arm ..". At the time, this song made you shiver as much as dance .... it's a masterpiece.

I remember when it came out, it sounded like nothing we had heard before on the radio, or rather an odd mix of elements heard in very different kind of musics from the 50's to the 80's and from around the world. A very unique sound at the time, this was their first big hit and not only in France... And I'm only talking about the music, not even touching on the creativity in the video.

This song is a tribute to an Argentinean dancer with whom Catherine Ringer took dance lessons and who died of cancer. Fred Chichin and Catherine Ringer were married, unfortunately Fred died in 2007. This may be the most famous song of the band, but they released a lot of hits and were one of the most influential bands in French pop rock. The video clip was directed by Jean Baptiste Mondino, one of the great advertisers and music video directors of the 80s.
