"Cornichons" is French for "Pickles". So they've packed the car with jam and biscuits for a picnic trip (not forgetting the radio!) on a Saturday, but they haven't got an umbrella for when it rains. Therefore, cue the return back home, to unpack what they've taken and then finally eat the pickles...Anyway that's Bernard Estardy being the extraordinaire on the organ and in all it makes for a speedy 3 minute French lesson. The song is based on James Booker's "Big Nick". I mentioned Nino Ferrer's serious soulful side in the previous post but the comical Ferrer was the most remembered and successful, much to his annoyance.
