I bet it's safe to say that Belgian afro-pop band Zeker Weten (Know for Sure) is the first to cover Serge's Shush Shush Charlotte, originally on Mauvaises Nouvelles des Etoiles. They only took the bassline and the melody, but changed the lyrics completely. Zeker Weten's Flemish version is about a relation that's stuck in a rut - the chorus goes: what are we to do now? While Serge sings about little Charlotte pooping in her culotte. Shush now.
Zeker Weten (they just released their debut-cd) is very inspired by Serge, leadsinger Simon Pleysier talksings in the same manner, and to the same effect. He puts in less double-entendre's though.
