Bataclan may refer to:
The Bataclan (French pronunciation: [bata.klɑ̃]) is a theatre located at 50 Boulevard Voltaire in the 11th arrondissement of Paris, France. Designed in 1864 by the architect Charles Duval, its name refers to Ba-ta-clan, an operetta by Jacques Offenbach. Since the early 1970s, it has been a "legendary" venue for rock music. On 13 November 2015, 89 people were killed in a coordinated terrorist attack in the theatre.
The Bataclan originated as a large café-concert in the Chinoiserie style, with the café and theatre on the ground floor and a large dance hall at first-floor level. Its original name was Grand Café Chinois.
The French name "Bataclan" refers to the Offenbach operetta, but it is also a pun on the expression tout le bataclan (the "kit and caboodle", or "all that jazz", or "the whole nine yards"), the oldest written use of which predates Offenbach in a journal entry of 11 November 1761 by Charles Simon Favart.
Concerts were held there but it was best known for putting on the vaudevilles of Eugène Scribe, Jean-François Bayard, Mélesville, and Théophile Marion Dumersan.
A tiny place with a spot in her face
tiny place, tiny place, no face
feeling well there is nothing to tell
feeling well, feeling well in hell
I know she has a lot of beauty to give
beauty show, beauty show, don't go
And after all she's back in my town
back in town, back in town
she is a beauty clown
she is a beauty clown
everybody loves when she was me
and everybody clapped so quietly
break down
the cutiest circus in town
together with a beauty clown
together with a beauty clown
Ich weiß ... in meinem Herzen
Du bist die Einzige für mich!
she is a beauty clown
she is a beauty clown
everybody loves when she was me
and everybody clapped so quietly
break down
the cutiest circus in town
together with a beauty clown
together with a beauty clown
