Wikipedia article
"'Dingue, dingue, dingue'" is a 2009 song recorded by French singer Christophe Ma. It was the lead single from his third studio album 'On trace la route', and his eighth single overall. An official statement from his label Warner Music announced the single would be released to radio stations on 27 November 2009 after a CD promo was sent. It was later released digitally on 7 December and physically on 25 January 2010. It achieved success in France, being Ma's second number one hit single after "On s'attache" in 2007.
Music and video
'Le Parisien' stated the song is "rhythmic and effective". According to Ma, "it is music that comes from the heart, rather spontaneous in the composing."
The music video illustrates the difficulty of reconciling love and friendship. It shows Ma declaring his love to his girlfriend who does not like his friends, with whom he lived, however. To try to keep her, he tries to do all what he can. In fact, he delights in this situation because all this finally allows him to spend more time with his friends. Ma said "it is tongue-in-cheek of course". The song was performed on television for the first time in the NRJ Music Awards show.
