140 C

140 C is a humorous and slightly provocative track from the French gypsy jazz band Les Doigts de l’Homme (from their 2006 self-titled debut album).

The title "140 C" is a playful reference to a bra cup size (140C). The song is a satirical take on plastic surgery, body modifications, and the obsession with artificial beauty standards. Through witty and cheeky lyrics, the band mocks people who chase exaggerated physical ideals and the superficiality that often comes with it.

Musically, the song is fast, energetic, and full of typical gypsy jazz fire — swinging rhythm, strong lead guitar lines, and that signature "hot club" drive mixed with rock energy. It’s one of the more lively and entertaining tracks in their early repertoire.

Even though the lyrics are in French, the message is universal: a tongue-in-cheek critique of beauty industry pressure and "fake it till you make it" culture.
