L Chupacabra's lollipop post video reminded me

of something. This is France Gall. She was a mid 60's (and on) French Yé-Yé pop star. Her first big hit or two was penned by Uber Pervert, Serge Gainsbourg. Please do yourself a favor and read the Wiki entry of Serge Gainsbourg. Ok, the down and dirty of this song and following video was that France Gall was supposedly (even though she was 19 at the time) unaware of the sexual double entendre of the Serge written song in 1966 called, "Les Sucettes" or, "The Lollipop." Wiki says, "Les Sucettes established a new trend for erotic double entendres in pop music." and , "Reportedly, 19-year-old Gall was upset upon learning this, leading to the ending of the successful partnership."

Here are the translated lyrics in English to the song.
Annie likes lollipops,
Aniseed lollipops
Annie's aniseed lollipops
Give her kisses
An aniseed taste.
And when the barley sugar,
Perfumed with aniseed,
Slides down Annie's throat
She is in paradise.
For a few pennies
Annie,
Gets her aniseed lollipops.
They have the colour of her eyes,
The colour of happy days.
Annie likes lollipops,
Aniseed lollipops
Annie's aniseed lollipops
Give her kisses
An aniseed taste.
When on her tongue
Just a small stick remains,
She jumps to her feet
And returns to the drugstore.
For a few pennies
Annie,
Gets her aniseed lollipops.
They have the colour of her eyes,
The colour of happy days.
When the barley sugar,
Perfumed with aniseed,
Slides down Annie's throat
She is in paradise.

Ok, so here is the unbelievable video. I about died laughing when I first saw it. You might too. So be seated when you watch it. Serge Gainsbourg is in the very beginning. The guy is such a hilarious creep.
