about

La cigarette (alto and guitar with special effects)
Poem by Dr Paul Maertens, a parody of a cigarette advertisement,
music composed and performed by David W Solomons
Interesting use of cross-over string effects and vocal straining.
Maybe this song is a little out of date these days, since most reasonable people are fully aware of the dangers of smoking
but the poem and song date from the 1970s, when the dangers of tobacco were widely ignored.
They are still worth repeating now in case there are still some people stupid enough to smoke.

lyrics

[coughing noises]
Fumez!
Des lèvres douces
la fraîcheur du printemps
Fumez!
[coughing noises]
Blanche longue cylindrique avec filtre
[coughing noises]
Fumez!
Des lèvres rouges la chaleur d'un baiser
[coughing noise]

[coughing noises]
Smoke!
Sweet lips
the freshness of spiring
Smoke!
[coughing noises]
Long white cylinder with filter
[coughing noises]
Smoke!
Red lips, the heat of a kiss
[coughing noise]
