:)) Though I didn't see it, I doubt that "Les Dix Commandements" would be seen
as religious work :)) , though it's probably not as irreverant as "Jesus Christ

a good rap group in my opinion, rather original.

Still, you should listen to Sardou. What a voice! He sang the French version of
the "Do you hear the people sing?" of Les Misérables: "A la volonté du peuple"
