serge and charlotte gainsbourg--"lemon incest" classic or dud?

she still looks v. good btw

i don't think that everyone ought to subject the french pop they like to some kind of ideological litmus test, or produce some sort of disclaimer before they commence to celebrate it. just that, like a i often discover a kind of uncritical reaction ("it's french! it's pop! it's great!") that isn't really fair to the music. i think sometimes--i'm not sure, on the other thread i talk about being confused and ambivalent about it--that a certain (lazily????) ironic nostalgia for an era of different (regressive?) gender roles factors into this.

Cosby + Gainsbourg = my head hurts.

p.s. did my response to your query satisfy you?

p.p.s. is it a picture sleeve? if so what is the picture?

omg classic!

it's so rare nowadays you find a good pop song about a dad who wants get sexy with his offspring with a quality dance-beat..

ah, back in the 1980s, those songs were a dime a dozen

I've just listened to this for the first time and I am absolutely stunned. No words other than wow! Had this been released today, Gainsbourg would have gone straight to jail, no questions asked.

exquise esquisse, délicieuse enfant

yeah, it would clearly be impossible for a major artist to release something like this nowadays...
I like the song but mainly for what he took from chopin.
