Zidane Headbutt Song is #1 in France

The title of this post is completely true. The #1 song in France right now is "Coupe de Boule" or roughly “The Headbutt.” Check out the link to the story: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/soccer/08/01/headbutt.song/index.html

Check out the youtube link for the music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWAJhUNj8Xg&search=coupe%20de%20boule

Check out the following English translation of the song lyrics, courtesy of http://etiennemarcel.blogspot.com/. I bolded the best verse. FYI - Trezeguet is the guy on France who missed the penalty. Of course, others have said that he still would have kicked a penalty even if Zidane was in the game, but this song is still funny.

Watch out, it's the headbutt dance!
(Headbutt, headbutt)Headbutt to the right
(Headbutt, headbutt)Headbutt to the left
(Headbutt, headbutt)
Go Blues!Go,Zidane, he hit [him], Zidane, he slapped [him]
(Headbutt!)* 4x

The guido, he was hurt
Zidane hit [him]
The Italian's not doing well
Zidane slapped [him]
The ref saw it on the TV
Zidane hit [him]
But we lost the World Cup
We had a good laugh anyways
Zidane, he hit [him], Zidane, he slapped [him]
(Headbutt!) 4x

Trezeguet didn't play
When he played he sucked
He screwed up everything
We lost the World Cup
Barthez didn't stop anything
And it's not even complicated
The sponsers are all angry
But Chirac was eloquent
Zidane, he hit [him], Zidane, he slapped [him]
(Headbutt!) 4x


Watch out, it's the headbutt dance!
(Headbutt, headbutt)Headbutt to the right
(Headbutt, headbutt)Headbutt to the left
(Headbutt, headbutt)Headbutt to the front
(Headbutt, headbutt)Headbutt to the back
(Headbutt, headbutt)

And now it's the penalty
Attention please, he's gonna shoot
One, two, three...he missed!
Zidane, he hit [him], Zidane, he slapped [him] (4x)
We had a good laugh anyways

Zidane and Trezeguet
We lost the World Cup
Zidane and Trezeguet (2x)
And Trezeguet...and Trezeguet...and Trezeguet-guet-guet
Trezeguet(Headbutt, headbutt)
and Trezeguet(Headbutt, headbutt)
and Trezeguet(Headbutt, headbutt)
and Trezeguet(Headbutt, headbutt)
