For the curious, here’s a live rendition of the song, with an English translation that’s as close as humanly possible to the original French (considering the unapologetic use of old argot). 🎧 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSYk...

“Dozens of those ladies had been waiting for a long time to show their appreciation. They came in work attire [...] so he would know without a doubt who these acclamations were from. Of course, he did not let it show, but I am sure he was just as moved as we were.”

Shortly after, as reported by Brassens’ guitarist Joël Favreau, a group of SWers waited outside a Roubaix concert to ovation him in person:

“Dear Georges Brassens, Us Whores would like to thank you for your beautiful songs that help us go through life. Unfortunately we only just obtained your address. Consider this an invitation. Each one of us embraces you. Your Friends from the Collective, wholeheartedly with you always.”

In 1976, the Collectif des Prostituées de Paris (Paris Prostitutes Collective) sent Brassens a thank-you note, praising him for “his songs that help us go through life”. The letter read:

Written in 1961, it presents as a humorous tale about sore feet, unhygienic clients, police harassment, social stigma & unfulfilling sex. It ends by directly addressing public moralism & dismantling the idea that sex workers and “respectable” women are inherently different:

French singer-songwriter/poet & cultural provocateur Georges Brassens remains IMO a class-consciousness icon & among the rare male artists with an accurate understanding of SWers’ realities. Welcome to my TEDtalk about his song “La Complainte des Filles de Joie” (loosely: “Working Girls’ Blues”) 🧵

One of the best job applications ever written came from the hands of Robert Pirosh in 1934. MGM loved it, took him on and in 1949 he won an Oscar for ‘Battleground’.
