"I didn't say' I oppose the death penalty,' I
wrote The Gorilla" Georges Brassens.
In 1952, Brassens' Gorilla brought
justice to a young judge who sent a man to
the guillotine in his song. By
1981, France had abolished the death penalty;
the last man was sent to the guillotine in
1977.
The United States remains the only country
in the Western world still to administer the
death penalty. Perhaps Brassens' Gorilla
hasn't gotten there yet. Here he is.
Thanks to philipechek of Paris and
YouTube for helping with translation of this
song.
