"Cher Saddam" (Dear Saddam) is the demo of an unfinished song written after the death of Saddam Hussein (december 2006). The song is about the relationship (friendship) between the former prime minister / French president Jacques Chirac and Saddam Hussein (Chirac / Irak: interesting rime) during the 70's. The last images on the video are from the dictator Jean Bedel Bokassa (Centrafrique), an other good friend of France during the seventies.

Here is an approximative translation of the song:

DEAR SADDAM

Dear Saddam, I'm sorry
You've been judged as a tyran
I'll remain President

Dear Saddam, I'm saddened
You, my only friend from Irak
Let me tell you bon voyage de Jacques Chirac

Dear Saddam, I've been the long-term
Dictators's confidant
Their delusions of grandeur's janitor

Chorus
Saddam's descended from Saladin
What a muddle for historians
Sowing death in Babylone
Like the king Nabuchodonosor

Dear Saddam, I remember one summer
It was in the Baux-de-Provence
You told me how you love France

Dear Saddam, when I unveiled to you
Our most nuclear secrets
It wasn't for making war

Dear Saddam, when I delivered to you
Our most bloody weapons
It wasn't either to make war

Chorus
Saddam's descended from Saladin
What a muddle for historians

Dear Saddam, why haven't you preferred
Exile by me
Like Bokassa

Dear Saddam, you my shaggy buddy
Before losing the lutte (fight)
You could have shaved your occiput

Dear Saddam, I'm saddened
You, my only friend from Irak
Let me tell you bon voyage de Jacques Chirac
