about
This song and video were composed during quarantine in my apartment in Paris with my wife and dog.
The song describes in various metaphors the first major sex scandal of the decade in France. A cringe-worthy tale of Parisian municipal politician Benjamin Griveaux and his downfall caused by Russian activist artist Piotr Pavlensky.
The song is a tribute to musique variété française (esp. Serge Gainsbourg, Régine and Claude François), and sung from my balcony in the 19e arrondissement of Paris.
I wish I was releasing my upcoming triple album instead but this is consequently on hold due to the global pandemic.
Covid-19 might effectively make this scandal dissipate, but Bernardino Femminielli never forgets.

lyrics
Pauvre Lapin
C’était pas très malin
Ta baguette dans la main
Tsar du jour au lendemain
Je te préviens
Pauvre petit lapin
Mes yeux salivent l’humain
Boire son propre venin
Tu te souviens
La famille au bout du chemin
Ce rêve républicain
Carrière politique sans lendemain
Petit Lapin
Boit un peu de ce vin
Le jeux des bas-instincts
Ça s’avale comme ce bout de pain!
Ton destin
C’est mon gagne-pain
Je suis le réveil-matin
Pauvre con… Glisse-toi donc le bulletin!
T’aime faire le arlequin?
C’est moi le magicien
Et toi pauvre lapin…
Tu cherches encore la fin!
La chance t’as posé un lapin
Je chante pour nous crétin
Le Pavlov fait son chien.
