@AmboGuy 1

The Rolls' wings brushed against poles When despite myself off my path We arrived my Rolls and I in a dangerous Zone, an isolated place Down there, on the hood of this Silver Ghost From Nineteen hundred and ten moves forward like a scout The silver Venus on the radiator Whose light wings fly in advance. Haughty, disdainful, while the radio Screams covering the motor's silence She stares at the horizon and her mind elsewhere

@AmboGuy 2

Seems to be unaware of the sidewalks I run over Alleys, dead-ends and no parking Zones, an indifferent heart She holds the reins of my twenty-six horse power Princess of shadows, cursed archangel Modern style Amazon that the sculpter In English, named Spirit of Ecstasy And so I was messing around before losing Control of the Rolls. I moved forward slowly My car swerved and a violent thud Tore me suddenly from my daydreams. Shit!

@AmboGuy 3

I saw a bicycle tire up ahead, That kept on spinning, And like a doll that loses its balance Her skirt pulled up on her white underpants "What's your name?" "Melody" "Melody what?" "Melody Nelson" Melody Nelson has red hair And it's her natural color.

Whew! What a breakbeat!

[LisaJanisa]

I've been helping out some Seattle burlesque performers for the past year and this week they're doing L'Edition Francaise - and one third of the show is this awesome concept album. It is so sexy and hawt! I've heard it about 4 times already today and came home to listen again. I can see their moves... If you're in the area, check it out May 26 7:30p, May 27-28 7pm & 10pm at the Triple Door!

But it is one way out of many to pay homage and keep the music alive.

[mafiashaolin]

[jivanamukta]

Great song...c'est simplement fantastique,bravo Serge!

[babssss1]

si; si....gusto

[vipersquad]

It always makes me simultaneously laugh and hang my head when all my American friends who know all these obscure indie bands and do their best to bolster their credibility in non-mainstream rock music and their snobbery have no f**king clue who the hell Serge Gainsbourg is. I guess "music against the mainstream" for them still lists "English lyrics" as a prerequisite.

[MrTrigaches]

@vipersquad Wish we had more like you...

[PaulWykel]

@vipersquad  Ugh....

[danrod37]

un génie à l'état pure, parmis l'élite musicale comtemporaine!!!!!

cette ballade est excitante, bouleversante , une écirture du style" suis dans la tête d'un anti-héro de polar américain des années 20".

Accomagnée d'une superbe ligne de basse, batterie carrée, guitare triturées son 70", et magnifique orché.symphonique.

Bref la marque du chef.

Je suis aux anges..... désolé un peu facile!!!

bonne écouté !!!!!!!!! grand merci à toi myfairjoker!!!!!!!

[ultimaesperanza04]

UN PLACER...

[charly6857]

Un lead de basse démentiel en accord parfait avec la batterie. Des crescendo envoutants. La gratte qui groove à mort. Des paroles fascinantes... Un chef d'œuvre qui à inspiré beaucoup d'artistes. Merci M. Gainsbourg et Averty.

[MrManeval]

merci

[MrManeval]

bravo pour cette playlist merci ,

from maneval in scotland

[panamablanc73]

au summum de son inspiration. mais la il écrit de la poésie. de la poésie du niveau des Fleurs du mal .C'est magnifique.

[Giorgio160191]

@panamablanc73 Tout à fait d'accord!

[LondonDark03]

Gainsbourg avez une facsination pour les rolls..

Unsigne de richesse extérieur qu'il a longtemps attendut.

Dans les comtes de Perault les princes charmants avez des carosse lui avez une rolls.

[simonbath]

reminds me of lou reed kicks-fine work, this.

[MassimoConnolli]

@simonbath hah I hear what you mean! This pre-dates Kicks by 5 years though. I bet Lou was into Melody Nelson at the time.

[DigiPal]

J'écoute ça, et ça me fait penser à Beck dans Paper Tiger. Même genre de minimalisme, avec guitare sale qui riff sans vraiment aller quelque part... Un jam quoi! Je comprends maintenant l'inspiration de Beck. Et oups, de la symphonie!!! Beck, Sea Change: Paper Tiger, c'est Gainsbourg et Melody Nelson! Peut être pas tout à fait la même signification par contre...

[myfairjoker]

@DigiPal Mais oui, Beck avouait qu'il était tellement inspiré par Melody Nelson... il même n'était pas sûr si il avait le droit de publier ce qu'il a crée sous l'influence de Gainsbourg.
