In July 14, 1789, the Bastille prison was stormed, signaling the beginning of the end for the French monarchy. On that same date one year later an enormous party was held to celebrate the beginning of a new (though ultimately pretty short-lived) era in French politics.

One hundred and ninety-five years later, an amazing (and amazingly crazy) French duo released one of the most amazing (and amazingly crazy) songs ever recorded. Seriously, it’s amazing (and amazingly crazy.) Cone-bra dresses and cowbells abound in the clip for Rita Mitsouko’s “Marcia Baila,” a song that almost defies any description, it’s that good (and crazy.) It got up to #2 in France, ultimately spending over half a year on the charts there.
