Day 21: A song you like with a person's name in the title

"C'est Charles" - #AksakMaboul (2020)

My guess is that this title is a reference to Baudelaire, but a total inability to speak French doesn't hamper enjoyment of this groovy little number one iota. Askak Maboul was a singular Belgian 70s Rock in Opposition band that somehow re-materialised in this dour 21st century to continue blowing the same 100 or so minds they melted the first time around. That the record this was taken from ("Figures") was my favourite album of 2020 is of no consequence.

Hey: why hasn't anyone sampled that vicious 12 second intro yet? I'm expecting it to end up on a #KennySegal production in a matter of weeks.
