Instructions For Chicken Dominoes

Oh no, The Hou Lops, Yan Perreau and survivors


What an excellent initiative. I had been hoping that something like that.

Maybe you've watched one of the first two episodes of the new television series The Survivors Radio-Canada? Honestly, it's very good.


Background: 1964, Boivin is a Quebec family that everything is more normal. For some reason that eludes them, they are propelled through time and find themselves in the future, in 2010. What follows is a quest to understand what happens to them and to return to their time.

Scenario "Out of the fish bowl classic, but well put together.

But what's even better is that every episode, we propose a new reversal of a tube of the 60 Quebec, performed by a group today!

In episode # 2, you could hear Yann Perreau return to classic garage Quebec: Oh no, of Hou Lops. His version is very cool!




Not only do they ask artists to re-register a song, but they also create a video you can watch on the web. They put the original song and its adaptation for sale!

So question to surf this wave, I decided to tell the story of Oh no.


Oh no - The Hou Lops (original)

The Hou Lops, from St-Hyacinthe, are a the largest of the 60 Quebec groups, all types combined. Their compositions as their interpretations made in Quebec from 1962 to 1969.

Among their feats of arms, counting the huge success Blue jeans on the beach and a first visit to Europe in 1965, where they share the stage with The Animals, then a second European tour in 1966 during which the guys paying the Olympia in Paris in the Rolling Stones. BANG!

Gilles Rousseau (vocals) and Ivan Lee (guitarist) write and compose Oh no probably around 1966, after the group has abandoned the name white heads. The song was launched in format 45 laps on Apex label and soon found himself on the charts at the time. It was not until 1968 to regain the original Oh no on a 33 rpm album.

Oh no is a classic Quebecois garage and a solid composition, although in his time. The reverb at background fuzz this well, words just severe enough to place a concubine heartbreaker and a perfect rhythm to shake your head from left to right. We are in 1966 and Les Hou Lops compose songs of international caliber. Their success, since 1965, covers France, Belgium and some of their records have even been printed for the Greek public (!) under the name The Blue Canadian Band.

This means that success is absolutely resonate here.

There including interns, which was discussed long ago on garage sale, which take Oh no, again in 1966, with not a lot less polish and know-how, budget for the label to Success Match.

Then, there's Real Pilon tackles Oh no with his trumpet. It was also the time when instrumental records rained revivals of past successes of the moment.

In 1967, the youth group Les Mosses resume Oh No, live on television. I guess this performance is derived from records of the competition 28 days of issuance Oblige Youth Radio-Canada.


Also in '67, Les Hou Lops return to their own success, in English, which becomes Oh no. It would be at their second visit to Europe they would have recorded this version orchestrated for the international market. I prefer the original.

Oh No - The Hou Lops


The English album of Hou Lops, entitled off, is probably their best. There are several excellent songs which Oh no, Mother in Law, Doin 'the Jerk, Big Black Jacket (resumption of obscure rockabilly song Marcel St-Jean & The Jitters ) and a leader The work of darkness, the excellent Lonely Riverman.

Until the end of their career, The Hou Lops remain relevant and creative. An excellent group in Quebec whose repertoire, world-class deserves to be considered seriously in rock history here.

Just think I study my Greek and Everything Alright (recovery group The Mojos U.S.), two other great songs of the group from St-Hyacinthe.

Time passes and the trace of Hou Lops not erased. Instead, the collection of the band's songs are found everywhere.

Recently Narduar The human towel, Canadian music geek in chief, and his band The evaporator showed an excellent adaptation of Oh no.

Oh no - The Evaporator


This is just one example among many others of the importance and influence of Hou Lops.

I would repost a nice picture of Hou Lops, from the Collection of Stéphane Dugas, on which we can see that Les Hou Lops also enjoyed eating spaghetti.
