Ok so I was driving out of Mantreal the other day (thanks to everyone who suggested record stores) and I heard the greatest, most ridiculous song ever. Over a 70s quasi boogie beat that almost sounded like Bob Seger this guy was singing about a girl who hangs her castanets on the wall and has an incense burner and takes off her pancho and then they have sex until their unconcho (sic). Is this the Guess Who or something? It's my favorite song of all time for this week. If anyone knows, please help

Frank Zappa - Camarillo Brillo from 'Overnite Sensation'

seven years pass...

Ok, this one is driving me crazy. I'm pretty sure his first name was Louis, but he made really quirky electronic pop and I'm pretty sure that it was the 60s and that he was french. I remember one specific song that was basically just a groovy gogo beat with lots of fun electronic sounds over it. And no, it wasn't Perrey/Kingsley.

Not Louie Austen, by any chance? He's Austrian, not French, but he's been doing electro-crooning for a good few years.

No. From what I remember he either mainly or exclusively did instrumental tracks. Thanks, though! He very well might've been 70s, but I remember it sounding very 60s france.
A little part of me thinks I might be badly misremembering some of Pierre Henry's rock forays, but I still feel like this guy was doing something different. And maybe was named louis?

Well this does sound like that Pierre Henry & Michel Colombier thing

I was going to guess Pierre Henry, but, uhh, Cecil Leuter? Here's Cecil Leuter from 1969:

Let us know if you work it out! Sounds pretty interesting.

Aha!!! That's him!! That album "Pop Electronique" is the one I used to have.
I don't know why I was holding on to "Louis". Maybe b/c of Louis Barron.
Thanks so much! A void in my heart has been refilled!!
