Dude is such a Kermit no amount of kissing's gonna help that look :¬/ & it didn't get any better with age. Check out the W Houston '86 interview...rough!
@tzoche You are so innocent of the ways of the commercial world my friend. Anything to sell a record. She may have said that but no-one of her age, even accepting her apparent level of stupidity, could not have known what the pun was - they did after all speak the same language. It's about the equivalent of you not knowing the word for bicycle in your own language! You may well choose to believe the games of the publicists and Gainsbourg loved to make a splash, but she wasn't that stupid.
Check out the video on You Tube called France Gall & Serge Gainsbourg - The story behind "Les Sucettes." It's It's a present day interview of France Gall.
@guepierefly where do you get this misinformation from? I was a teenager in the 60's and was far from naive - the only sign of naivety I've seen is the way you youngsters swallow everything you see on the net whole! France Gall was as much a puppet of the publicity machine as all the other "stars" of the time and did and said what she was told.
@adriangstern I've just looked at that video - crap! France was thick but her embarassment was not about the pun but about the fact she'd sung about blow jobs in public - the exposure not the action - she'd probably already blown Serge anyway - maybe we could ask Jane - she probably knows the truth
@guepierefly moi aussi j'étais adolescent en France - quand je n'étais pas à Londres et ce que vous dîtes ne tien pas debout! C'est comme elle ne savait pas ce que c'était un bus ou une tasse! Elle ètait ou jouait très conne je l'admets mais ou c'était un truc publicitaire ou elle avait trop fumé et ne se rendait pas compte de ce qu'elle chantait - merde elle chantait une chanson de Gainsburg et il avait déjà une réputation en France!
beautiful french romanticism music, seductive, passionate, 100% romantic. The french produce best romantic music in the world, must be french accent and the beautiful music composing
This man managed to troll a nice girl in a pedobearic (although still elegant) way before the Internet was even born! He's an ultimate troll, congratulations to him.
The fun fact about this song is that when Serge Gainsbourg wrote the lyrics for France Gall, she though she would only sing a beautiful song about a little girl named Annie who loved sucking lollipops and felt like in paradise when the sugar would slowly melt in her throat. Unfortunately for her, she only discovered the true meaning of the song much later.
Maybe Gainsbourg was a pervert but not in this film. I think both they are very sexy and the dancers are also great. This clip is very sofisticated, masterpiece! I can't stop watching this.
I don't understand french and at first I didn't realize why everyone was making such a fuss over this nice catchy oldies pop song. And then I put the lyrics into Google translator.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I wouldn't to be like him... He was a big pervert! His death is a good thing, he was without manners! Poor France Gall who didn't understand what she singed :(
i can't believe she didn't understand the meaning. their eyes contact and bodytalk are very obvious. she is more provocative with Serge like Serge with her.
France Gall isn't SO INNOCENT but I can see she is trying to pretend to be.
@jegcent I can't believe France Gall was LYING when she said, on several occasions, that she learned the hidden meaning only later and that she had been used. This all happened about 45 years ago, that's 2 generations of people. Circumstances were a lot different from today.
@astronome9 this is ridiculous, look at this girl! I love it, but she is not innocent at all. The are fond of each other but this is not bad, I love it, very lovely.
This story about "she didn't know the meaning and circumstances were a lot of different...." very nice and interesting but it is not true obviously.
@smokeemonkee Its funny, I got into Gainsbourg through films and was searching through his work so to find songs I loved in certain films. Don't know how an arguement about film popped up other then The director of Irma Vep put in a cover of a Gainsbourg song, which Is what made me search initially.
@PtAltmVansanTarr Thanks for your reply. You seem like a reasonable person, so I don't think I was refering to you. But the other guy was making the same kind of argumuents on other France Gall videos and it just struck me as a pretty dumb place to argue...maybe because of how much I love France Gall and her music. Seems like it would be better to agree about the positive power of her music. And sorry if I seemed insulting.
This reflects very badly on Serge Gainsbourg. The words would be hilarious if they were sung by a seasoned old cabaret singer. But this is sweet innocent France Gall, 18 years old. Apparently she didn't even understand the double meanings. I am glad you have posted the video. It shows how sometimes even great artists get it completely wrong. France should never have sung this, and Serge should never have expected that she would. Now, if Marianne Faithfull has some spare studio time ...
I see all of the hate comments about Serge. Tbh, I look at this video and laugh when I think of it's history. She obviously knew in the back of her mind, but she didn't want to believe it. And today, it would not be a big deal. Now you hear them come out and say sucking pen*s and probably worse. He may be a dirty old man, but in America she was technically legal and able to make her own decisions. So, its not like he had a 13 year old girl singing the song.
@astronome9 and don't you dare compare it to the Nazis, like all censorship issues come down to on the net. Your country is using tax payer money to create expensive unwatchable films! Why don't you build better schools for you immigrant population instead? To me, it suggests an aristocratic class in Europe, one who has all the connection will the state's levers of control. It's quite sickening from an Americans perspective.
@PtAltmVansanTarr No, the facts you mention do not reflect the general population. A very tiny minority of French people watched or even heard about this film. PLus you add another stereotype about the French. I repeat, the sexual revolution of the 60ies and its underlying principles did not come only from France, far from it, but it came in great part also from other countries, like the US.
Also,are you saying France is my country? Wow! Entirely wrong.
@astronome9 Ma Mere stars Hubbert and Garrell! That would be like Americans not knowing a film were Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep commit illicit relations. This film would be all over youtube!Cannes awarded Antichrist! This is like your Academy Awards.
Your prez is married to a celebrity super model pop artist! U must be being sarcastic!
@PtAltmVansanTarr You confirm why there is no use continuing to argue. You didn't get my point. I repeat again that only a tiny fraction of the French people watched the film you base your argument on. It's not at all representative of the general population. Plus the sexual revolution of the 60ies came also in great part from the US. Let us leave it there.
@PtAltmVansanTarr Who decides what is "unwatchable", "inappropriate", "horrible"? You? Are you the ultimate scale unit of decency in this world? No? Then, who? Should we only allow films and art that are universally accepted, or should we instead condemn what is universally shocking? When you will have answered these questions intelligently, I might consider listening to your opinion of art and music.
@Rachegotter Have you ever thought much about the connection between art and commerce?
While Im not usually one for censorship, I do think that French tax payer dollars should've never gone towards creating works like Ma Mere or any of the French Exrtremity films. Unfortunately, not the case.
@PtAltmVansanTarr First of all, it's not at all clear to me that "A ma mère" was a state-sponsored movie. But even if it were, that would be no problem to me. As I've said before, there exists in France a censorship body called CSA which shoots down from radio and TV anything deemed inappropriate by a panel of selected people (be it sexual, violent, libelous, etc...). And once again, who's to say what is "good art"? Ask a mormon, ask a porn producer, you surely won't hear the same answer.
@Rachegotter Its interesting that you should bring up the LDS church as they have one of the fastest growing film industries in the US outside HWood and the festivals circuit. Should the Mormon films be made,yes. Should they get an Americans' tax dollars, big NO. I'm talking about Ma Mere but also Pola X, Trouble Every Day, Irreversible, and others part of the New French Extremity, some indeed wouldn't exist w/o govt monies. What does that say about the integrity of France's film making ingroup
@Rachegotter I would be very upset if the LDS Church began demanding tax monies for French filmmaking, wouldn't you? Again, commerce and art. Doesn't an art such as cinema which depends on so much infrastructure live up to either a zeitgeist, commercial demand, quality, or artistic statement. Statement direct from the horses mouth:Denis on the New French Extremity- We all figured that since we could get the funds to do these films now, that screw it, let's get em done b4 we r stopped.
@PtAltmVansanTarr As long as the French (and I'm one of them) see no problem with these subsidies, everything is alright. Thank God for the French, actually. If it weren't for these films which you dislike (and you may do so, of course), the whole world would be nothing more than a larger version of the US: bland, generic, unexciting, and quite boring. The world is such that some people, like me, enjoy very much what you call "extreme" movies...
@PtAltmVansanTarr But I couldn't care less about the favorite Hollywood themes: unrealistic scenarios, aliens, monsters, the CIA, big guns, serial killers, terrorists, heroes, etc... everything that doesn't really exist in real life. I'm interested in seeing people. How the live, how they think, how the feel, and why not how they screw. The flaws are fascinating. The good sides, boring. US movies are fairy tales in which the characters have no depth. They're mere facades, flat paper men.
@Rachegotter I definitely agree with you on those points. I've learned to love film by looking beyond what the MSM sets as "good" film. What I have always been upset at with films that were part of the French extremity is the ethics involved in using tax $s in making films that are so poorly regarded by the general public, so that's where I disagree with you.The issue is somewhat unscientific like many things in art because I don't see as much of a prob with art films being financed.
@astronome9 If the facts I mentioned don't reflect France, why didn't your country set up a proper regulatory agency like the US to prevent filth like Ma Mere or that other Claire Denis film about cannabalism from being made or even worse, getting state funding!! Why dot your citizens rise up and bam your film representatives from performing acts like masturbating on the big screen where any child can see, Briellat who put a cum shot in one of her films, in the USA, we wouldn't tolerate it.
@ignoranttwat it's funny, if someone criticizes European cuntries in the same way as America, u get soooo upset but when ur cuntries criticize ours we are expected to just nod our heads.
@ignoranttwat Have you seen any of the French made "extremity" genre, govt funded, films made in the late 90s +00s? Watch some of them, and then get back to me. And I'm not talking about films by Haneke, who shot a pig and it pissed off a bunch of animal rights activists etc. I'm talking about Ma Mere and many others like 29 Palms. Denis admitted to making her obscene cannibalism film simply because she could get govt funds for it. In my OP French films would've been better off without these.
I haven't seen any besides Noé's Suel Contre Tous (though I have intended to for a while), but that's hardly the point. As a vegan I'm certainly not in favour of shooting pigs etcetera, but these films are highly respected and a personal opinion on whether they are disgusting or not should not determine whether the government should fund it or not and CERTAINLY not whether it should be made or not.
@PtAltmVansanTarr There is in France a censorship committee. When a film is rated R, it's up to the parents to take their responsibility and ensure the film is kept away from their kids. They do it for X rated movies, they can also do it for R rated movies. I'm an adult, and I like to see good films that are mind boggling, not some watered down crap made in Hollywood. These R rated movies are for me. Keep your damn kids away from them.
Noone understood in 1967, in France the most sexed up, topless beach, nudist, ménage a trois, cousin boinking, Muslim headscarf banning(because it gets in the way of young immigrant women's French lollipops), president with a supermodel wife, French Extremity creating(a film movement whose crown prize goes to Ma Mere, which shows incest, anal licking and fingering, Louis Garrell (a big French celebrity )who is shown masturbating over his mother's dead corpse and peeing on his fathers room filli
@PtAltmVansanTarr I can see you have several stereotypes about the French that are biased and distort reality and lead you to unjust reasoning full of flaws. To judge a situation dating 1967, you bring isolated facts of the 2000s. Second, you don't make any distinction between the ordinary French people of the 60s and the ShowBiz sect. Remember, the sexual revolution of the late 60ies, did not come mainly from France, but at least equally, if not more, from the US, Denmark, Holland, England.
@PtAltmVansanTarr Also the whole point of discussion is about FG: she declared she was Used by Gainsbourg and others, that she realized only after the sexual meaning of the song. I prefer to believe her (18 y.o. girl in a world where sex conversations WERE still taboo in the general population) . Given the context of the time, it is far from impossible. Gainsbourg was a sexual perv who abused the innocence of this young star.
@4bawbees It is not hysterical to think that in 1967. That's more than 40 years ago, almost 2 generations! That was BEFORE the sexual revolution of the late sixties. France Gall has always said she learned about the sexual meaning only AFTER, and that she was shocked.
@astronome9 sorry? what's your point? you are agreeing with me. In English, 'hysterical' used in this context means AMUSING or funny. Of course, nobody had sex before 1967...EVER. Did they?
for those who don't understand....this entire song is a metaphor for oral sex....really, anyone who understands French, think about the lyrics for 2 seconds.... i can't believe this song got passed 1960's society the way it did
i agree. No one in france in the 60's talked about sex. I KNOW! I grew up there - If THIS SONG went thru it's because NO ONE thought that the lollipop was a man's penis- It didn't cross anyone's mind that this little girl was being used by a pervert -- YES! SHE WAS USED! Although Americans think that all French women are whores French women DO NOT f** around like Americans do - I KNOW! i live in the U.S. it's ridiculous how American stereotype others but themselves ( so stupid)
so dirty but so so good!

But the other guy was making the same kind of argumuents on other France Gall videos and it just struck me as a pretty dumb place to argue...maybe because of how much I love France Gall and her music. Seems like it would be better to agree about the positive power of her music. And sorry if I seemed insulting.

This reflects very badly on Serge Gainsbourg. The words would be hilarious if they were sung by a seasoned old cabaret singer. But this is sweet innocent France Gall, 18 years old. Apparently she didn't even understand the double meanings. I am glad you have posted the video. It shows how sometimes even great artists get it completely wrong. France should never have sung this, and Serge should never have expected that she would. Now, if Marianne Faithfull has some spare studio time ...

I see all of the hate comments about Serge. Tbh, I look at this video and laugh when I think of it's history. She obviously knew in the back of her mind, but she didn't want to believe it. And today, it would not be a big deal. Now you hear them come out and say sucking pen*s and probably worse. He may be a dirty old man, but in America she was technically legal and able to make her own decisions. So, its not like he had a 13 year old girl singing the song.

@astronome9 and don't you dare compare it to the Nazis, like all censorship issues come down to on the net. Your country is using tax payer money to create expensive unwatchable films! Why don't you build better schools for you immigrant population instead? To me, it suggests an aristocratic class in Europe, one who has all the connection will the state's levers of control. It's quite sickening from an Americans perspective.
PtAltmVansanTarr 1 year ago
@PtAltmVansanTarr No, the facts you mention do not reflect the general population. A very tiny minority of French people watched or even heard about this film. PLus you add another stereotype about the French. I repeat, the sexual revolution of the 60ies and its underlying principles did not come only from France, far from it, but it came in great part also from other countries, like the US.
Also,are you saying France is my country? Wow! Entirely wrong.

@astronome9 Ma Mere stars Hubbert and Garrell! That would be like Americans not knowing a film were Brad Pitt and Meryl Streep commit illicit relations. This film would be all over youtube!Cannes awarded Antichrist! This is like your Academy Awards.

@PtAltmVansanTarr You confirm why there is no use continuing to argue. You didn't get my point. I repeat again that only a tiny fraction of the French people watched the film you base your argument on. It's not at all representative of the general population. Plus the sexual revolution of the 60ies came also in great part from the US. Let us leave it there.

@PtAltmVansanTarr Who decides what is "unwatchable", "inappropriate", "horrible"? You? Are you the ultimate scale unit of decency in this world? No? Then, who? Should we only allow films and art that are universally accepted, or should we instead condemn what is universally shocking? When you will have answered these questions intelligently, I might consider listening to your opinion of art and music.
Rachegotter 1 year ago
@Rachegotter Have you ever thought much about the connection between art and commerce?
While Im not usually one for censorship, I do think that French tax payer dollars should've never gone towards creating works like Ma Mere or any of the French Exrtremity films. Unfortunately, not the case.
Picking on spelling errors doesn't prove a thing.
PtAltmVansanTarr 1 year ago
@PtAltmVansanTarr First of all, it's not at all clear to me that "A ma mère" was a state-sponsored movie. But even if it were, that would be no problem to me. As I've said before, there exists in France a censorship body called CSA which shoots down from radio and TV anything deemed inappropriate by a panel of selected people (be it sexual, violent, libelous, etc...). And once again, who's to say what is "good art"? Ask a mormon, ask a porn producer, you surely won't hear the same answer.

@Rachegotter Its interesting that you should bring up the LDS church as they have one of the fastest growing film industries in the US outside HWood and the festivals circuit. Should the Mormon films be made,yes. Should they get an Americans' tax dollars, big NO. I'm talking about Ma Mere but also Pola X, Trouble Every Day, Irreversible, and others part of the New French Extremity, some indeed wouldn't exist w/o govt monies. What does that say about the integrity of France's film making ingroup
PtAltmVansanTarr 1 year ago
@Rachegotter I would be very upset if the LDS Church began demanding tax monies for French filmmaking, wouldn't you? Again, commerce and art. Doesn't an art such as cinema which depends on so much infrastructure live up to either a zeitgeist, commercial demand, quality, or artistic statement. Statement direct from the horses mouth:Denis on the New French Extremity- We all figured that since we could get the funds to do these films now, that screw it, let's get em done b4 we r stopped.
PtAltmVansanTarr 1 year ago
@PtAltmVansanTarr As long as the French (and I'm one of them) see no problem with these subsidies, everything is alright. Thank God for the French, actually. If it weren't for these films which you dislike (and you may do so, of course), the whole world would be nothing more than a larger version of the US: bland, generic, unexciting, and quite boring. The world is such that some people, like me, enjoy very much what you call "extreme" movies...
Rachegotter 1 year ago
@PtAltmVansanTarr But I couldn't care less about the favorite Hollywood themes: unrealistic scenarios, aliens, monsters, the CIA, big guns, serial killers, terrorists, heroes, etc... everything that doesn't really exist in real life. I'm interested in seeing people. How the live, how they think, how the feel, and why not how they screw. The flaws are fascinating. The good sides, boring. US movies are fairy tales in which the characters have no depth. They're mere facades, flat paper men.
Rachegotter 1 year ago 2
@Rachegotter I definitely agree with you on those points. I've learned to love film by looking beyond what the MSM sets as "good" film. What I have always been upset at with films that were part of the French extremity is the ethics involved in using tax $s in making films that are so poorly regarded by the general public, so that's where I disagree with you.The issue is somewhat unscientific like many things in art because I don't see as much of a prob with art films being financed.

@astronome9 If the facts I mentioned don't reflect France, why didn't your country set up a proper regulatory agency like the US to prevent filth like Ma Mere or that other Claire Denis film about cannabalism from being made or even worse, getting state funding!! Why dot your citizens rise up and bam your film representatives from performing acts like masturbating on the big screen where any child can see, Briellat who put a cum shot in one of her films, in the USA, we wouldn't tolerate it.

@ignoranttwat Have you seen any of the French made "extremity" genre, govt funded, films made in the late 90s +00s? Watch some of them, and then get back to me. And I'm not talking about films by Haneke, who shot a pig and it pissed off a bunch of animal rights activists etc. I'm talking about Ma Mere and many others like 29 Palms. Denis admitted to making her obscene cannibalism film simply because she could get govt funds for it. In my OP French films would've been better off without these.
PtAltmVansanTarr 1 year ago
@PtAltmVansanTarr
I haven't seen any besides Noé's Suel Contre Tous (though I have intended to for a while), but that's hardly the point. As a vegan I'm certainly not in favour of shooting pigs etcetera, but these films are highly respected and a personal opinion on whether they are disgusting or not should not determine whether the government should fund it or not and CERTAINLY not whether it should be made or not.

@PtAltmVansanTarr There is in France a censorship committee. When a film is rated R, it's up to the parents to take their responsibility and ensure the film is kept away from their kids. They do it for X rated movies, they can also do it for R rated movies. I'm an adult, and I like to see good films that are mind boggling, not some watered down crap made in Hollywood. These R rated movies are for me. Keep your damn kids away from them.

PtAltmVansanTarr 1 year ago
@PtAltmVansanTarr I can see you have several stereotypes about the French that are biased and distort reality and lead you to unjust reasoning full of flaws. To judge a situation dating 1967, you bring isolated facts of the 2000s. Second, you don't make any distinction between the ordinary French people of the 60s and the ShowBiz sect. Remember, the sexual revolution of the late 60ies, did not come mainly from France, but at least equally, if not more, from the US, Denmark, Holland, England.
astronome9 1 year ago
@PtAltmVansanTarr Also the whole point of discussion is about FG: she declared she was Used by Gainsbourg and others, that she realized only after the sexual meaning of the song. I prefer to believe her (18 y.o. girl in a world where sex conversations WERE still taboo in the general population) . Given the context of the time, it is far from impossible. Gainsbourg was a sexual perv who abused the innocence of this young star.

@4bawbees It is not hysterical to think that in 1967. That's more than 40 years ago, almost 2 generations! That was BEFORE the sexual revolution of the late sixties. France Gall has always said she learned about the sexual meaning only AFTER, and that she was shocked.
astronome9 1 year ago
@astronome9 sorry? what's your point? you are agreeing with me. In English, 'hysterical' used in this context means AMUSING or funny. Of course, nobody had sex before 1967...EVER. Did they?

i agree. No one in france in the 60's talked about sex. I KNOW! I grew up there - If THIS SONG went thru it's because NO ONE thought that the lollipop was a man's penis- It didn't cross anyone's mind that this little girl was being used by a pervert -- YES! SHE WAS USED! Although Americans think that all French women are whores French women DO NOT f** around like Americans do - I KNOW! i live in the U.S. it's ridiculous how American stereotype others but themselves ( so stupid)
