Talk:Elton Motello

Elton Motello featuring...
Roger Jouret, Lou Deprijck, Alan Ward/Timms. Lou was in fact a cameleon (that's true); Mike Butcher (???) and Yke of the proto-punk disbanded group Bastard. Lou were the TWO Plastic Bertrands, the latter was # 1 in the US back in May of 1978. Captain Sensible and The Softies recorded "Ca plane pour moi" as "Jet boy jet girl" released in June 1981 then re-issued in May 1982 as the B-side(s) of The Damned's "Wait for the blackout" (Chiswick and Chiswick/Big Beat). Elton Motello's version (11/77) was issued on Lightning Recs in the U.K. However, the single including Pogo Pogo (on A-side) and "Jet boy" (both songs sung by vocalist Alan Ward) was first released in The Netherlands and in Belgium back in 11/1977 on NEGRAM/EMI-Bovema Holland 5N 006N-60076.

Roger Jouret was drummer with Hubble Bubble, not with Elton Motello. Nobby Goff was Bastard's drummer and lives now in France. He does not have anything to do with Plastic Bertrand. Neither was Yke into Elton Motello. After Bastard disbanded, Yke (Yves Kengen) formed Raxola. Yken 15:29, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Yken

References to Popularity in Australia
I added the references to the success of "Jet Boy Jet Girl" in Australia. I suspect its success was largely due to the support it got from the government-run station 2JJ, but I didn't add this as I have no proof. I do recall an announcer on the National Top Forty program on 2UW saying he couldn't play it because of the lyrics. I haven't named the product "Jet Boy Jet Girl" was used to promote,as I've forgotten. I'll have to check my videotapes.Eligius (talk) 02:28, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

Jet Boy Jet Girl / Plastic Bertrand
The reference claiming Lou Deprijck was the maître d'oeuvre doesn't actually say that. It says outright that Alan Ward wrote the English lyrics and that Lou Deprijck directed the composition. I am changing the entry based on that. Ceaseless (talk) 04:11, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
