Guest-selection time! Natasha of Radio Oh La La on Serge Gainsbourg & France Gall:
Written by Serge Gainsbourg, Dents de lait, dents de loup (Baby teeth, wolf’s teeth) was the theme song of the French television pop programme of the same name, which aired on 11 January 1967, a show created by Pierre Koralnik and Jean-Pierre Spiero. This short but groovy tune, a duet by Serge Gainsbourg and France Gall, was never released on cd, but was included on Serge Gainsbourg’s double dvd D’autres nouvelles des étoiles, released in April 2005. The television fragment features Serge framed as if he were a big bad wolf observing his innocent, dancing prey. The same dvd also features a film fragment of him at the piano rehearsing and then performing the song with France Gall. This particular episode of Dents de lait, dents de loup had appearances by Françoise Hardy, Sylvie Vartan, Eddy Mitchell, Claude François and many others.
Although many fans have a preference for France Gall’s younger years, Gall herself prefers not to talk about it. Despite having been an incredibly successful teenager, she was still a very overprotected little girl. However, Gainsbourg was very inspired by her naivety and enjoyed making her sing things she did not fully understand, which is in fact why many people prefer this period of Gall’s career.

BeantwoordenVerwijderenwonderful!! xxoo c
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNo doubt Serge Gainsbourg was a master at using double-meaning in his songs for France (i.e : "les sucettes à l'anis"). Personnally, My favorite one is "Les petits ballons".
BeantwoordenVerwijderenOh goodness I love that song. C'est mignone.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenplease....please.....PLEASE repost this song...!! i know it was only a little while ago that it was up but i just recently stumbled across the video on youtube and i can't do anything but wander around the house humming the damned thing to myself-- i can't find it on anything but video, where else do you think i could get just the song?
