It's sort of electronic, with a clickety-poppity syncussion track running through it. Later on, a funky guitar comes in. At one point, the singer sounds like her dad is taking her from behind while she's trying to sing the song(!). Any ideas who the artist might be?

I like the song. Charlotte obviously inherited her mother's singing skills (well, early Birkin anyway)(although it's probably just because of Gainsbourg's tendency to make his singers sing in a higher than natural register.)

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.

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.

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.
