Jeux sans frontières''
Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builds a bonfire, Enrico plays with it
Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes, we're kissing baboons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears
Games without frontiers
War without tears
''Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières
Jeux sans frontières''
Andre has a red flag, Chiang Ching's is blue
They all have hills to fly them on except for Lin Tai Yu
Dressing up in costumes, playing silly games
Hiding out in treetops, shouting out rude names
Whistling tunes, we hide in the dunes by the seaside
Whistling tunes, we piss on the goons in the jungle
It's a knockout
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears
If looks could kill, they probably will
In games without frontiers
War without tears
Games without frontiers
War without tears

Just wanted to bump this comment for all those who enjoy the mashups that BillG sometimes plays. This is one of the good ones and it opens with this song. [ Reply ]

Anyhow, he doesn't use the word "tier"; it's just the second syllable of "frontiers", but still... Maybe "war without beer" could have worked, but that would've resulted in many tears. Made me think of lines in the first two versus of XTC's Dear God: Verse 1 - I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer Verse 2 - We all need a big reduction in amount of tears [ Reply ]

tutakea Mar 01, 2012 - 05:11	thumbs up!!! here in Germany the TV-show was called "Spiel ohne Grenzen" - and PG did a German version of this song, too, with a very funny accent, but also brilliant :-) [ Reply ]

It always sounded to me that yer man was likening international relations in the Cold War era to the then popular TV competition It's a Knockout (Jeux sans Frontières), and basically saying that 'international statesmen' are no more than little boys and girls waving sticks at each other and making rude gestures. Plus ça change... [ Reply ]

See the Wikipedia entry for more info on its origins, and a UK nostalgia website for pics and vid clips. As a kid our family used to sit down to Jeux Sans Frontières regularly, particularly the international competitions which were taken very, very seriously indeed by the teams involved, which was pretty damn stupid when you consider the nature of the games (wearing silly costumes, doing very silly things usually on slippery slopes, falling into gunge tanks, and much more) - the whole point of It's a Knockout was fun and parody, but it became self-parody when it took itself way too seriously. UK folk might remember it being presented by the irrepressible rugby commentator Eddie Waring, and the highly idiosyncratic Stuart Hall. They don't make programmes like that any more, right enough.

It was previously mentioned further down the list of comments. Thanks for the lyric...been wondering for a long time. Makes total sense too...go figure. [ Reply ]
