Gregory RosebrughHOST
Other documentary portraits he's made are about Orson Welles, Johnny Halliday, Jeanne Moreau, and Brigitte Bardot.
Gregory RosebrughHOST
And he also is the director of a Scopitone, which is an ancestor of the music video for Bonnie and Clyde by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot.
Bil AntoniouHOST
So now I want to go
Gregory RosebrughHOST
watch
Justin HawkinsGUEST
Queen, ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, the usual things.
Justin HawkinsGUEST
But there's also Serge Gainsbourg, Cardiacs and stuff like that that's in there.
Justin HawkinsGUEST
And I like the stuff that has the weird dramatic monologues like William Shatner dramatic monologues and things like that are the stuff that I push for.
Justin HawkinsGUEST
There's magic in the work that others aren't doing or seeing.
Matt DorbinGUEST
And also her ballpark direction from A&M Records, so she was signed.
Matt DorbinGUEST
I wonder if she maybe gravitated or sounded a bit more incorporating like the bossa nova and jazz sound as opposed to more traditional French pop of like, you know, Francois Hardy or Serge Gainsbourg, any of those folks, which a little bit different, a little more funky and raw.
Matt DorbinGUEST
And a lot of times this is, like I said, very breezy, very light, very carefree.
Matt DorbinGUEST
Yeah,
Dave GwilliamHOST
France Gall was 17 when she won Eurovision in 1965 representing Luxembourg.
Dave GwilliamHOST
Serge Gainsbourg wrote the song.
Dave GwilliamHOST
And the subject isn't simply a harmless little romance.
Dave GwilliamHOST
The title evokes a doll and the words play with the image of a pop performer singing words written for her.
JoeHOST
So let's go into number seven.
Angie MoonGUEST
Bonnie and Clyde by Serge Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot.
Angie MoonGUEST
And I really love French yayay music.
Angie MoonGUEST
I think that is a kind of world music that classic rock fans can really get into.
Angie MoonGUEST
And what I found really interesting when I was doing research for a different blog post about classic rock songs and oldies songs that were originally in a foreign language, French songs seem to be translated into English all the time.
Angie MoonGUEST
And it's really cool to see that, that French, and I think Italian was a very high number of them as well.
Angie MoonGUEST
But yeah, Serge Gainsbourg, one of the most famous French songwriters, one of the most famous French musicians.
Angie MoonGUEST
The biggest hit he had here was Je T'aime Mon Emploi, which was with Jane Birkin.
RosettaHOST
Before this, we had one that really got the texters going.
RosettaHOST
Serge Gainsbourg and Bridget Bardot, of course, with Bonnie and Clyde.
RosettaHOST
Somebody says that this technically counts as them studying for their French exam.
RosettaHOST
To that I say, Dorian, you're welcome.
Nicolas GlumineauGUEST
The evolution.
Nicolas GlumineauGUEST
And Serge Gainsbourg in French music.
Nicolas GlumineauGUEST
The evolution, every single kind of or style of music they have touched, they were in advance.
Nicolas GlumineauGUEST
They have made something just outstanding.
Drusilla AdelineHOST
oh my god she looks exactly like Patti Smith she looks
Joshua ConkelHOST
so much like Patti Smith to me I've always thought that and then two I was curious about her accent because she's born and raised in Paris her father of course is Serge Gainsbourg who's like a French singer songwriter
Drusilla AdelineHOST
legend and icon in his own right
Joshua ConkelHOST
sort of like the French Burt Bacharach you might say
Drusilla AdelineHOST
he's more like the French Sinatra in terms of fame yeah
Joshua ConkelHOST
yeah um Here in the United States, I feel like people who like Burt Bacharach would also like Serge Gainsbourg.
Joshua ConkelHOST
No,
Drusilla AdelineHOST
you're right about the genre.
speaker_1UNKNOWN
Oh, that's a heavy pill.
MarkHOST
First thing I thought of when you break into the French is this is like if Serge Gainsbourg did shoegaze.
BrookelenGUEST
That's so
MarkHOST
cool.
Sideshow SidHOST
Kit.
Sideshow SidHOST
Jane Birkin, who released the very controversial, sexualized single Je T'aime Moins Non Plus, with her then-boyfriend Serge Gainsbourg.
Sideshow SidHOST
That was in 1969.
Sideshow SidHOST
