Fils de joie, il nuovo singolo di Stromae, parla di prostituzione alternando i punti di vista (dal cliente al pappone, dalla sex worker al poliziotto passando ovviamente per il figlio di p…). Il video, che segna il ritorno sulle scene videomusicali di Henry Scholfield (che a suo tempo aveva realizzato dei promo memorabili per il cantautore belga), è ambientato in uno stato immaginario dove il funerale di una prostituta assume toni e proporzioni degne di un eroe della patria, se non di più. Nella monumentalità quasi dittatoriale della celebrazione, il playback diventa il commovente discorso dal palco mentre l’aspetto coreografico delle parate militari casca a pennello per accompagnare il brano.
