"Wight Is Wight" is a French song by Michel Delpech. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. Released in 1969 it became a big hit in France and internationally. This hippy-influenced song was inspired by the first editions of the Isle of Wight Festival, mentioning Bob Dylan who played there in 1969. Donovan is also named in the chorus, even though he wouldn't appear at the festival before 1970, a few months after the song was released. The title is a pun based on Los Bravos' 1966 hit single Black Is Black, covered by Johnny Hallyday on the same year, as "Noir c'est noir".

  • Wight is Wight ist ein Chanson des französischen Sängers Michel Delpech aus dem Jahr 1969, das ein Rockfestival auf der englischen Insel Wight besingt, das als ein englisches Pendant zum berühmten Woodstock-Festival gilt. Im Text werden die Namen von Bob Dylan und Donovan erwähnt, die jedoch erst in den Jahren 1969 und 1970 an diesem Festival teilnahmen. Der Song nimmt auch ironisch Bezug auf den von der Gruppe Los Bravos 1966 veröffentlichten Song Black is Black. (de)
