Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin - Ballade De Melody Nelson

[bangormaine1000]

Lovely and gorgeous

[mybrotherfreewaymike]

Love. This. And. Him!!

He's a genius!!

[fatimarn1]

@itsBIGbouncedawg Ask good!!...He died early because of this...

[videomanking]

@itsBIGbouncedawg And what exactly have you accomplished in terms of music? He was one of the first artists to introduce reggae in mainstream music, one of the first to include electronic music in mainstream music, has inspired dozens of artists including Beck, won dozens of awards for his life work AND is an icon of "la chanson française". Please don't write anything of you don't know the artist's history.

[videomanking]

@itsBIGbouncedawg If you take the time to read the lyrics, the song is about a love o terrible that will NEVER happen between them. So once again, learn the history of the artist and of his songs and then come and argue properly without caling people names.

[stakelsujet]

une chanson pleine de frissons et vous?

[rareflorence]

a kid played this in my french class today, i don't think he realized what it was tlaking about XD

14 autumns and 15 summers haha

[wire100]

Thank you for posting this song - my favourite ever track by Serge or, indeed, any other Frenchman. The bass on this is sublime! Hope you don't mind but I've posted a link to this video from my "bestmusicofalltime" blog at wordpress.

[banduril]

@wire100 no one wants to read that

[kaptainpimp6]

Just reminds me of someone when I hear this song

[supperunknown]

is it weird that i find him kind of...attractive?

[entertainment45]

@supperunknown no.

[vladnek]

@supperunknown he bangs like all the hot girls of his era, so probably not!

[moncherours]

serg'appeal



[mrowubukiri]

Absolutely incredible

[ollyroxdisjoint]

A kiss is not a contract. But its very nice, Oh its very nice.

[LaHuerca]

@ollyroxdisjoint Yay! I'm not the only one who noticed the reference!!!!!!!

[vlopresto]

@ollyroxdisjoint That Flight of the Conchords song it how I first heard about Serge Gainbourg! Glad I looked him up. Brilliant! (and so are FOTC's!)

[TerentiaWillsomethin]

[TheCrackSpackle]

@TashesxD

[FlavioSousa35]

Wonderful!

[supperunknown]

she was such a lucky woman!

[ed40carter]

absolute gem - Gainsbourg is the undiscovered gem. Loved hime since my french exchange explained him to me. Hardly known to Britains shame

[tcoreyb]

Thank Dieu for Frenchmen. Making it more likely that we can score hot chicks even if we look weaselly and greasy.

Seriously though... Serge is the Man. I raise my glass to anyone who hit that Birkin stock :)

[Una2]

The most beautiful woman in the world. Brilliant song!

[rhubarba26]

Wow, she was too thin. When she turns, I can see the shape of her pelvic bone! Love this song and the style of a hint of erotic but not in your face like today.

[ultimaesperanza04]

UUUUUUFFFF, otro de mis favoritos en mi Ipod, grande Serge!, la inspiración de Air sin lugar a dudas...

[dariajelonek]

Throughout the whole song hes not smoking that cigarette... HURRY END THE SONG.... HIS CIGARETTE ALMOST BURNED DOWN TO HIS FINGERS. You look so sexy, holding that cigarette. Yummy ;)

[saturnfiverocket]

He just looks so DAMN Cool!

[lbrj720]

Sensual beautiful BRAVOO so sexy it grabs you i'm away <3

[loocriativo]

[indigomorgan1]

I bet this music video was a big hit back in the day!

[sky16th]

[KarolinaMisia]

Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp called their daughter Lily-Rose Melody after this song! Very cute!

[hotbarcelona]

idiote, c est Jane Birkin!!

[bobxussel]

I was searching for "Melody" a Gainsbourg video and found this one with Jane Birkin . It is very good but and quite different from the original LP that has only singing in this song as i also very good

[octopusmime]

flight of the concords did a great parody skit of this video. it was great because i knew only a handful of people would even understand where it came from.

[mcol3]

a kiss is not a contract, but it's very nice!

[PimplesGM]

wow,absolument ze best.

[blumphy]

Si belle et si séduisante.

[schakal08]

einfach wundervoll...ein wahrer traum...danke !

[tardoproto]

Gainsbourg is great, but sometimes he is more Austin Powers than Austin Powers himself.

[Allhallowsday]

You kind of ID his appeal, but Gainsbourg writing his own songs lends him legitimacy that the fictional clown Austin Powers never had.

[sicodelicodelperu]

maravillosa canción!!!

[bionikata]

This is the fucking shit!!!!! Proper chillout. A big spliff and this choon with a girl noshing on your tings....sorted!

[notoriousbarlo]

well put., i agree

[matowana]

Que je n'ai con...nue qu'un instant

lol

[Gokuzombie]

what album is this on? i want to buy this shit. heard bonnie and clyde and damn i was mesmorized.

[NBjam77]

i think the album was actually called " Histoire de melody nelson".enjoy^_^

[zedovichi]

melody nelson..which everyone from air, beck and the red hot chilly peppers quote..

[misterkite77]

A true master of the universe.

[SihtFukcCokc]

@misterkite77 He-Man?

[Scirea06]

Absolutely fantastic. From one of the best albums of all time.

[ChadMedellin]

Do you speak French?

I'm thinking about learning French just for the music and the movies. U think it's worth it?

[prorokini]

I think it's worth to learn French because of the language's beauty, French culture (including music and movies) and in order to connect with French-speaking people. If you just want to enjoy some Serge Gainsbourg videosfeel free and read the translations. They cannot convey all of his puns, butbetter than nothing. Your choice. ;)

[zaodizao]

it is for sure

[joeyrider]

from one of the very best album ever recorded Thanks so much for posting

[strabao]

Best bass line.

Ever.

[cupboardsanddraws]

I agree :)

[weatherboxlisp]

@strabao It's Herbie Flowers, a famous session musician. The man is a bass genius, he did lots of bass on Lou Reed's Transformer too. Legendary.

[ladymanzon]

JE T AIME

[silesiofra]

Haha a kiss is not a contract is even funnier after watching this! Thanks :)

[theflaming1101]

[MegaJohnJo]

[Una2]

LOVE It! Thank you so much! You're a star.

[cristianheyne]

really do not know. I tried to change this setting, but it was not possible.

"highly sexual content"?

very strange.

[MilkOfSuccess]

@cristianheyne

He's a highly sexual person *eyebrows*

[oYoYebutu]

@cristianheyne No, it isn't (strange). It is very high indeed.

That is what defines him.
