What with talk of covers of Serge Gainsbourg in other threads, i wonder what was the overall opinion of his lifetimes's work...?

 

Did you like his music? or do you only know 'That' song :lol: (Je T'aime...)? Is he over-rated or a musical genius that should be celebrated in the manner he is at the moment

I :heart: Serge. At first I just liked his early pop stuff, 'Ford Mustang' 'Bonnie& Clyde' etc, then I got into his jazzier earlier stuff. The material he wrote for other artists, France Gall, Brigitte Bardot etc is amazing- pop at it's best.

 

' Historie de Melody Nelson' is one of the greatest albums ever, but that's only the tip of the iceberg. Check out Jane Birkin's 'Doh Dah Dah' album, Bambou's 'Made in China' or France Gall's '1968' [surely the main influence on Kylie's 'Impossible Princess']. They all rock.

 

And Serge was funny too. check him out with Whitney Houston on 'You Tube'.

 

One of the greats.

 

 

His work with Brigitte Bardot is excellent, and I also love "Lemon Incest" even though it's a bit wrong.

"Lemon Incest" is very wrong...... :puke2:

 

Here's another option - "Annoying French Tw@t"..... :lol: :lol:

"Lemon Incest" is very wrong...... :puke2:

 

 

not heard the song, but to me the title sounds like a gallic take on the pie humping scene from American pie but more fruit fun based

"Lemon Incest" is very wrong...... :puke2:

 

 

According to yesterdays paper in an interview with Charlotte Gainsbourg it says the single was called Lemon Zest (this being a play on words of incest)
