"Un garçon pas comme les autres (Ziggy)" (meaning "A Boy Like No Others (Ziggy)") is a hit song from the Celine Album "Dion chante Plamondon". It was released as the second commercial single in France in July 1993. The song was also featured on two collections: The Collector's Series, Volume One and On ne change pas.
Telling the story of a woman's impassioned love for a gay man, "Ziggy" was performed originally by Fabienne Thibeault in the Starmania musical in 1978.
"Ziggy" peaked at number 2 in France and was certified Gold for selling 365,000 copies. The song spent almost a year on the chart, including 7 weeks at number 2 position and 18 weeks in the top 10. It was Dion's biggest hit in France since 1983 "D'amour ou d'amitié."
Celine Dion performed this song during Francophone concerts in her tours since 1994, including her concerts at the Stade de France in 1999 and the Taking Chances Tour of 2008. Live versions of "Ziggy" became a part of Dion's albums: À l'Olympia, Live à Paris, Au cœur du stade, and Céline une seule fois / Live 2013 .
A Boy Like No Others (Ziggy )
Ziggy, I call him Ziggy
I'm so hot for him
He's not at all like all the rest
But he's held out and he's the best
Even if I know
He would never go with me
Ziggy, they call him Ziggy
I'm so hot for him
And when I saw him that first day
I went and gave myself away
Oh so indiscreet
Oh but he was sweet to me
Four a.m. he's here by my side
Talking, laughing and making friends
Making fun of me too
He can do whatever he wants
I don't mind, but he pretends
Not to see what I go through
Ziggy, my crazy Ziggy
I get weak for him
He lives a life that I can't share
I don't know why but I know where
Oh it breaks my heart
Knowing I'm not part of him
Why won't he try anything new?
I would be his very best
And his first, in many ways
Oh if I were one of his boys
Thin and languid and self-possessed
So in demand nowadays - oh
Ziggy, my crazy Ziggy
I get weak for him
He lives a life that I can't share
I don't know why but I know where
Oh it breaks my heart
Knowing I'm not part of him
Baby Ziggy
(Luc Plamondon / Michel Berger)
