Dur Dur D'etre Jordy!

There was a Jordy retrospective on French TV this evening.

Anyone remember Jordy? Jordy Lemoine? 4 year old French dance sensation and one-hit-wonder? Youngest singer in the history of the French republic, or any republic, to have a #1 single? The song? Dur Dur D'etre Bebe (It's Tough Tough to Be a Baby).

Ring a bell? Here's a refresher.
Jordy's hit single was penned by his record producer pops, Claude Lemoine. The two did well for a while. But in 1994, the French government banned six-year-old Jordy from television and radio, concerned that he was being exploited by his parents. This concern was fueled, no doubt, by the original video of Dur Dur.
Disturbing much?
French society eventually turned against Jordy's family as well. The reason? The Lemoine's opening of La Ferme de Jordy or "Jordy's Farm," a children's tourist attraction. According to the documentary, the Jordy's Farm thing was beyond the pale.
Perhaps it was, but I'd love to have been a fly on the wall when Jordy's dad was negotiating contract riders with the venue:

Listen up! The kid performs for 20 minutes. In his dressing room I want two dozen boxes of blue macaroons, five vials of syringe-administered toddler Motrin, a vat of baby hair gel and no pink bon bons. Are you hearing me? NO PINK BON BONS!
