French singer-songwriter Renaud's second unnamed studio album is commonly known as Laisse béton, although it is sometimes referred to as Place de ma mob after the wall inscription on the album cover.
Tu ne m'as pas laissé le temps | Tired of Being Sorry (Laisse le destin l'emporter) | Laisse béton |
Other examples of verlan in cultural mainstream include the 1984 comedy Les ripoux (My New Partner) (ripou is verlan for "pourri," or rotten, and refers to a corrupt policeman); and the 1977 hit "Laisse béton" by singer Renaud (béton is verlan for "tomber" and the phrase means "drop it").
