A red bandana on the red, but not the tongue in the pocket. "Coronavirus, asshole of virus": it is the refrain of the surprise title released by Renaud, where he takes up the cause of the controversial Professor Didier Raoult, in a clip visible on Youtube and Facebook Wednesday evening.
"Tain tain tain"
We see the singer in a leather jacket, bare arms and tattooed, singing in a garden - near Isle sur la Sorgue, in the Vaucluse where he resides, specifies the final credits - in front of two guitarists and a bass player, a chorister joining then the group.
"When I think of the brave Doctor Raoult / Conchie by jealous colleagues / By ovipositions, luminaries / Who have the mussels (who are afraid, note) to lose wheat", we hear him declaim in his hoarse voice, worn out by years and past excesses.
A fervent defender of hydroxychloroquine, Professor Raoult is still controversial. His latest conflict of interest charges - before the National Assembly's Commission of Inquiry into the Covid-19 - have recently provoked anger from the targeted public bodies.
The video ends with Renaud who lowers his emblematic red bandana used as a mask, to drop his famous "tain tain tain". Then we read on a message written by his hand: "For all the friends who suffered from this fucking virus, for all the caregivers, friendships". Last winter, the 68-year-old artist released a new album, "Kids and Children First".
