"Je Suis Rick Springfield" is a track on Jonathan Coulton's eighth studio album, Artificial Heart.

History

"Je Suis Rick Springfield" was mentioned by Coulton in concert long before Artificial Heart was released. At the time he revealed only the title, and that the song is performed entirely in French.

To introduce the debut performance at PAX 2011, he explained that the song is about a guy in a bar in France, trying to convince some young ladies that he is Rick Springfield. Whether or not the character is actually Rick Springfield is left up to the listener to decide.

Live performance

The first live performance in Seattle on August 27, 2011 can be seen on YouTube.

Availability

"Je Suis Rick Springfield" is available on the album Artificial Heart, which can be ordered through Coulton's website or on iTunes or through Zune.

John Flansburgh directed a music video for this song, though in the video a different arrangement is utilized. The video was shot on Cannon 5D cameras with "nicer lenses".[1]
