Nagui was at the rendezvous on France 2 this Monday, October 25, 2021, to host his show “Don’t forget the lyrics”. Just after the elimination of Caroline, the second greatest champion in the history of the game, the host found Aurélie, the current Maestro, who once again fought to retain her coveted status.
During the show, his opponent Hervé had to interpret one of Johnny Hallyday’s hits: “Requiem pour un fou”. A song with an equivocal text about a man madly in love with a woman who does not hesitate to kill her so as not to lose her… After his terrible gesture, the man patiently waits to be judged.
“I was just a madman, but for love. She made me mad, mad with love. My sky was her eyes, her mouth. My life was her body, her heart. I I loved her so much that to keep her I killed her. For a great love to live always. He must die, he must die of love “ sings the rocker in this hit released in 1976.
A controversial song
Sadly, viewers were shocked to hear the lyrics to this song in prime time and didn’t fail to let it know on social media. Faced with the controversy, Nagui was forced to speak: “Very nice dramatic song… A few people have criticized me for broadcasting this song saying that it is still a song about violence against women. And of course, you don’t doubt that we are aware of it, but it is is a fiction “.
“If we had to explain all the evils in the middle of all the words, this program would not have the same atmosphere every night. That in no way detracts from the values that we defend on this set” the moderator concluded.
