Baby Buns
Light-hearted sparkling song sung in turn by the Crazy Girls; deliciously naughty costumes that reveal their backsides, golden, rounded “baby buns”; their slender hips balancing perfectly in pace, pink polka-dotted light covers the Crazy girls, like small bits of sour candy… This act is a playfully nostalgic bubble, a stroll along the Champs Elysées boulevard in the 1970s. You wouldn’t mind another swig of carefree giddiness, would you?
Signed Alain Bernardin
The founder of Crazy Horse Paris himself, Alain Bernardin, created Baby Buns back in 1961. This act became part of Crazy Horse legend right from the start. In its ‘bare’ chest, the very ingredients that are the secret to the house’s success are kept hidden. Dressed in nothing but artistic and moving lights and with a carefully chosen musical score, while entertaining us with their sensual sidesteps, the Crazy Horse dancers depict a witty and titillating story. Alain Bernardin, who also co-wrote the text, asked the famous author and composer Jacques Morali to create an original musical theme for this new act, a nod to the most beautiful avenue in the world, the Champs Elysées, just a hop, skip and jump away from the cabaret. The Crazy Girls, already back then, facetiously, yet firmly, rebuffed the advances of those gentlemen, who, according to the song, were already in love and a bit too bold.
60 years after its creation, Baby Buns is still one of the most memorable moments of the show. Under its light-hearted appearance, its pink candy lighting and its beguiling rhythm, its deceitfully light subject matter continues to resonate with the women in the audience. Sweet and sour, Baby Buns whets your desire for more, just in time for the grande finale of the Totally Crazy! show.
