I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you.


Serge Gainsbourg - Chez Les Ye-Ye

1963 French pop song. Serge pulls out a switchblade a little awkwardly about halfway through. Translated lyrics here.


Retrolectro Swingtoon LIIb (Palm Dance with Boogalox aka Minimatic - Chez Les Yeye)

Here's an Electro-Swing version of the same tune. I ran across it listening to Electro Swing | Jazz House Mixwolf Session 2016 #1. Louis Armstrong makes a brief appearance here at the 1:56 mark.


I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You - Louis Armstrong

Here's the whole tune. Louis recorded this in 1932.


Jamie Berry-Sweet Rascal

Here's the Electro-swing version with Mistique burning up a square meter of carpet.

People get excited, then they get upset and out come the knives. Peace, love and understanding are all very well, but how's a girl supposed to know whether a guy can defend her or not? Well, you might want to see how well he handles a knife. Love and hate are like two sides of the same, human, coin.

Update March 2021 replaced missing Louis Armstrong video.
