Hard swingin ye-ye with loony screaming and growling, sound effects (specifically sheep & sine waves), and lyrics about integral calculus. Evariste was a legit student of particle physics (under his real name Joel) before deciding it would be more fun to have an extremely lopsided haircut & flail around like Freddie from Freddie & the Dreamers while singing an impression of a rooster. Superbly cutting, brilliant arrangements by Michel Colombier (of Pierre Henry fame, as well as Serge Gainsbourg). Evariste's complete discography is here, and though it's just a few singles, a comparison to a giant like Kim Fowley is not out of order. Tracklisting: Connais tu l'Animal qui Inventa le Calcul Integral, Si J'ai les Cheveux Longs C'est Pour pas M'Enrhumer Atchoum, Dans la Lune, Evariste aux Fans, Ma Mie, Wo I Nee, Les Pommes de Lune, La Chaase au Boson Intermediare, La Revolution, La Faute a Nanterre.
