Readers in Germany may recognise the talent behind the video below, since loveable mole Rene la Taupe's had a delightfully named minor chart hit there last (Merde).
Sick of his bad boy of rock 'n' mole tag, Rene has dropped the obscenities for his latest single Mignon, Mignon ("mignon" meaning "cute" in French), and has been justly rewarded by the music loving French public, whose appreciation of a good hook has given Rene his first number one. Behold:
As you may have guessed Rene is a creation for ringtone company Jamster, who also brought us Crazy Frog. I would hope that the language barrier would stop this from entering the UK charts, but the success earlier this year of novelty-but-not-quite-as-bad-as-Rene-act Yolanda Be Cool suggests that the British are open to a foreign language track so long as it is awful. This certainly fits that bill.
