Another well known recording which got some broadcasters hot under the collar ..........

Gainsbourg originally recorded it with Brigitte Bardot ........ the two of them squeezing into a one man recording booth , according to a Paris sound engineer ......... But then Bardot asked Gainsbourg not to release it ..... the record that is ........ so he didn`t .............

Starting a relationship with Jane Birkin , he decided to record it again with her , in London this time ........ telling Birkin to sing / speak " as if she were a little boy " apparently , and this was the version that got into the charts ........ but not onto the radio .............

Before the records release , he got a restaurant owning friend to play it over a speaker to see if it put the diners off their soup ......... encouraged by the response , he gave it the go-ahead ..............

And just for comparison ........ here`s the original ( and superior , in my opinion ) version ....... with Ms Sex Kitten purring all over it ..........

Ha ha. My mother was a bit huffed when my younger sister listened to it so as the whole street could hear.

i never saw The Band, they were before my time. But one night in the late 90s, doing a pub crawl in Laguna Beach CA, I stopped into the Marine Room and Garth Hudson was playing. I think this video captures them well.

And after a work out at the gym ......

A repeat , but it was a long time ago .........

Gay buggered off to The Netherlands to join a electro disco outfit called Go Go Glam Gestapo , or something ....... and Terry became a Pogue .......

 

[rocketonarail]

..... and finally from the Grupps ........

I`m never sure if this is about people taking the piss out of someone`s failed suicide attempts , or someone having difficulty changing a lightbulb ........
