    Well Plastic Bertrand is actually a Belgian singer (born in Brussels in 1954) - so the French part of Belgium.
    He surfed the punk wave and with "ca plane pour moi" landed a world hit in 1977.
    Someone translated the song quite accurately a bit further down in the comments.
    I am a native French speaker and so I can tell you that "ca plane pour moi" (pronounce "sa" with the "a" like in "bat") means
    "it's allright for me" but "planer" also means "to glide" (airplane), hence being high after drug consumption.
    The whole song describes how he feels after having drunk too much,
    having f... a girl (she compliments him : "you are the king of the divan/sofa").
    There's also a bit about drugs abuse...
    The girl dumps him and destroys everything in his flat.
    Sex, drugs and rock'n roll,
    the holy trilogy.

    I was 23yrs when this came out
    & id been celebrating my birthday in the pub at lunchtime
    I got very drunk & didnt bother going back into work for the rest of the day
    But i got my pal Peter to take me into Woolworths( when Britain still had Woolies)
    I insisted they play this, my current favourite single
    & would they mind turning up the volume so i could hear it as it was my birthday!
    Luckily the shop wasnt busy, so they did, full max volume
    Then i danced, hopping up & down like Plastic Bertram ..ALL OVER THE SHOP, UP & DOWN THE AISLES & SINGING MY LUNGS OUT TOO!!
    Everyone was clapping, i was singing any words that came to mind, people came in off the street to watch my performance around the shop
    My pal Peter, red faced & cringing, tried to hide behind a rack of Ladies Tee Shirts, so i dragged him out & forced him to Bop round the shop too
    I think the recoŕd dept played the song 3 times & the shop manager who i swore was going to throw me out of his shop, presented me with this record
    As it was my birthday & id unknowingly attracted a stack of customers in off the street & were now filling their shopping baskets, full of good cheer & happy faces...
    What a birthday!
    Id probably get locked up today if o repeated it.
    Ive still got the single, on vinyl too
    Happy Days
    Cheers

      Thank you so much for your reply
      Yes, i hadnt thought about that memory for such a while & seeing Plastic Bertram pop up on my menu was such a joy!
      Back then in the mid 1970s we were so adventurous & full of daring & mad exploits! At least me & my close friends were! I sometimes look back & shake my head at some of our madcap ideas which we oft as not, carried out!
      I honestly did laugh to myself when i wrote about my bopping around Woolworths to Plastic Bertrams Ca Plane Pour Mois.
      Playing at max decibels
      Im sure nowadays the cops would have been summoned to arrest this drunken female causing havoc..
      Thank goodness there was such good humour & levity about!
      My pal Peter was from such a posh family & was so sensible!
      How we ever became such good pals, i know not, but i lead him into such calamities & crazy adventures & he never complained or left me in the lurch
      Bless him!
      I did however introduce him to his future wife so in a way his good nature & true friendship paid off!
      They have been happily married for over 40yrs now & parents too
      I think my other friend Laura who eventually married Peter was a bit like me & drew Peter out of his shyness, but she fancied him rotten ( i didnt fancy poor Peter at all so i was so happy for them)
      I know she didnt pull him into schemes like i did.
      Its brilliant to have such amazing memories & ive always felt utterly fulfilled in my life so now on the cusp of my 70th year i have no regrets & have loved every moment of being alive!
      The best thing about being my age is you have earned the right to say outrageous things, swear like a trooper & say embarrassing things & others smile patronisingly & indulgently & say " Oh its just her age"
      While i smile wickedly & know exactly what im saying...
      Its the beauty of getting older
      Being disgraceful & getting away with it...lololol 😆😆
      Hope you are in fine fettle, and may you have many happy days ahead & blessings too, many smiles & chortles to boot.
      Peace
      🇬🇧👧

      @@itallia666 There's a reason why we've never met and an ocean between us, the powers that be KNEW we would be a lethal combination and should be forever kept separated!😅 We are cut from the same cloth!
      You're absolutely right about the 1970's and would like to add: the fight for women's liberation, protests and marches for things we believed to be wrong. So many things were going on all over the world during that time. The music also changed. We were introduced to punk rock (The Clash, Sex Pistols, New York Dolls, etc.,) progressive rock (which I'm still not sure what that is,) disco and rap. We were so full of daring and adventurous schemes because it was a freer time back then for everyone. The laws were there, but not as strict and society's rules were starting to bend as well, making it easier for us to think "so what if we get caught, what's the worst that they can do to us?" 🙃 I know for a fact that all the things I did back then, the ones I got caught for and the ones I didn't, if any of us were to do them today, we'd be in jail. In fact, the jail would have a revolving door! 😂
      I am so happy I was able to grow up during that time and wouldn't trade it for the world. Yes, we've earned our "right" and wear our badge proudly. My adult son has said on many occasions that he wished he grew up then. I've started a little journal writing down my exploits, so if I happen to get Alzheimer's Disease, I can read about this crazy young girl who grew up in a fantastic era, and lived life to it's fullest!
      May you have many healthy sunny days ahead and enjoy all your memories.
      Peace and Love to you!

    Wam! Bam!
    Mon chat, splatch
    Gît sur mon lit
    A bouffé sa langue
    En buvant dans mon whisky
    Quant à moi
    Peu dormi, vidé, brimé
    J'ai dû dormir dans la gouttière
    Où j'ai eu un flash
    Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
    En quatre couleurs
    Allez hop!
    Un matin
    Une louloute est v'nue chez-moi
    Poupée de Cellophane
    Cheveux chinois
    Un sparadrap
    Une gueule de bois
    A bu ma bière
    Dans un grand verre
    En caoutchouc
    Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
    Comme un indien dans son igloo
    Ça plane pour moi
    Ça plane pour moi
    Ça plane pour moi moi moi moi moi
    Ça plane pour moi
    Hou! Hou! Hou! Hou!
    Ça plane pour moi
    Allez hop! La nana
    Quel panard!
    Quelle vibration!
    De s'envoyer
    Sur le paillasson
    Limée, ruinée, vidée, comblée
    "You are the king of the divan!"
    Qu'elle me dit en passant houhouhouhou
    I am the king of the divan
    Ça plane pour moi
    Allez hop t'occupes t'inquiètes
    Touche pas ma planète
    It's not today que le ciel me tombera
    Sur la tête
    Et que l'alcool me manquera
    Hou hou hou hou
    Ça plane pour moi
    Allez hop ma nana s'est tirée, s'est barrée
    Enfin c'est marre, a tout cassé
    l'évier, le bar me laissant seul
    Comme un grand connard, houhouhouhou
    Le pied dans le plat

    English Translation Lyrics
    [Verse 1]
    Wham! Bam! My cat, Splash
    Is rolling around on my bed
    He swallowed his tongue as he drank all my whisky
    As for me, I've hardly slept, I feel empty and reprimanded
    I had to sleep in the gutter
    Where I had a flash of inspiration
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    In four colours
    [Verse 2]
    OK, let's go! One morning
    A babe came round to my house
    She looked like a cellophane doll with curly hair
    She was wearing a plaster and had a hangover
    She drank my beer in a large rubber glass
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    Just like an Indian might do in his igloo
    [Chorus]
    It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me
    It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me
    It's all working out for me
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    It's all working out for me
    [Verse 3]
    OK, let's go! That babe was such a bitch
    What a vibration!
    Coming on the doormat
    Filed down, ruined, empty, but happy
    "You are the King of the Divan!"
    She says to me in passing
    I am the King of the Divan
    [Chorus]
    It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me
    It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me
    It's all working out for me
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    It's all working out for me
    [Verse 4]
    OK, let's go! Mind your own, keep your nose out
    Don't harm my planet
    Today's not the day the sky will fall down around my ears
    Or that I will have to go without a drink
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    It's all working out for me
    [Verse 4]
    OK, let's go! my baby upped and left
    She walked out on me, it's a shitty situation
    She broke everything, the sink, the bar
    And she left me all alone
    Like a total jerk
    Stuck here faced with the aftermath
    [Chorus]
    It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me
    It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me
    It's all working out for me
    Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
    It's all working out for me
    It's all working out for me, it's all working out for me
    It's all working out for me-me-me-me-me
    It's all working out for me

    This song transcends the language barrier because of its pure energy and fun nature. I used to think "Moi...lolita" by Alizée was one of the only French songs to reach the Top 10 in the UK, but this one did too, over two decades beforehand.
    Cette chanson transcende la barrière de langue grâce à son énergie pure et sa nature amusante. J'avais pensé que "Moi...lolita" d’Alizée était l'une des seules chansons françaises à avoir atteint le Top 10 au Royaume-Uni, mais celle-ci l'a fait aussi, plus de deux décennies auparavant.

    This was popular when I was just out of high school. Jackass would sometimes play it when they were doing something crazy. When I heard it on Ozark it made me so happy. Such a cool song and it NEVER gets old!

    I dreamed with this song today. I was at some coast, living my best at the sunset jumping on some trampolines. And this song started. In that moment, I was the best version of me, my life was happy and I had will to live. It was very strong to me. Maybe I will start to learn french.

    Bought the US Sire 45 in 1979 (?) during the New Wave era of New York Radio. Visited Bleeker Street record stores that were chock full of Stiff, Zee and other UK labels. Artists like Talking Heads, Devo, Blondie, Elvis Costello, Lena Lovich and one of my favorites: Ian Dury. Fun times.

    This used to make me laugh, back when punk was real punk and this was clearly Bertrands take on the sound of '77'.
    But as I got older, and became a bassist too, this tune has slowly grown on me...over nearly 45 years!👍🏿

      Bertrand was the original Millie Vanilli. He was hired as a pretty face to pretend to be the singer after the song was written produced and sung by Lou Deprijck who was ten years older and not as cute. Seriously.
