Slippty bam bam a boom bam Gainsbourg

Fucking Serge Gainsbourg was the Original Ganster... looked like roadkill, but talent and balls to spare - these bon mots are just a taste:* France Gall was horrified to discover the sexual double-meaning of the lyrics to "Les Sucettes". Les Sucettes tells about a little girl with a strong taste for lollipops - a perfectly innocent song suitable for small children. However, one can also interpret it as a description of fellatio.
* A controversial video for the song "Lemon Incest" features a half-naked Gainsbourg lying on a bed with daughter Charlotte.
* Reggae star Bob Marley was furious when he discovered Gainsbourg made his wife Rita Marley sing erotic lyrics.
* He once burned a 500 French franc note on television to protest against heavy taxation.
* Drunk on French national TV (Drucker show), he told a very young Whitney Houston "I want to fuck you". Horrified, the show host pretends Gainsbourg had said something else, then after Gainsbourg repeated to a horrified Houston what he'd said, the host made him apologize.
At his best he was a total genius, as I believe this video evidenced:
Of course his music pretty much sucked after 1970:
Barf. What the hell was he doing with Edith Piaf's song? What is going on between him and that blond kid? And the dancers?!? Who the Fuck cares?
But his personality definitely compensated.Bobby would have understood, non?For more of the good and bad check here:http://www.francevision.com/nsltr/vf14/gains.htm
