Personally, I don't think it's a pervy song at ALL. If you look closely at the lyrics, really... it's about a father/daughter's love. Even though it's a provocative music video, that doesn't mean anything really. I don't get why everybody always says Serge was the perviest man on Earth, like, I mean, don't men think about sex every other 7 seconds? But whatever, everybody has different opinions.
"Lemon Incest/Inceste de citron", is a wordplay on "un zeste de citron" (a lemon zest), but it's definitely about Daddy/Daughter diddling.
Even in France it was controversial, most Frenchmen thought it was sick.
But controversy was exactly what Serge wanted.
He was an narcissistic twat who thought he was a free-thinking iconoclast, bravely speaking art to power, and that all his performances started a public dialogue on something important.
People who jump to conclusions either didn't read the lyrics or don't understand french. She clearly sings ''The love that we'll never make together is the rarest, the most troubling, the purest, the most moving''. Get your facts straight, and maybe read a book or two sometimes.
And you find those lyrics in particular appropriate? You clearly don't have a very active imagination. Most "what the fuck" comments don't come from people who aren't aware of or repress something like the Oedipus complex bbut from those who prefer to rise above such primal impulses. Besides the writing's on the wall, the title has the word "incest" in it.
Yeah, the guy is eccentric etc but the message is obvious, let's not be hypocrites.
@expressexpose The title is a wordplay, ''Un zeste de citron'' is phonetically similar to ''Inceste de citron'', you clearly don't have a very active imagination. I don't find the lyrics inappropriate, and even if they were, who cares? You think that artists evolve by being appropriate? As I said in my first comment, read the lyrics, because it is clear that it's not about a sexual relationship between a father and his daughter. By the way it's not the Oedipus complex but the Electra complex.
Oedipus. I'm male, I was writing about not repressing it from my perspective.Not very mentally flexible,are you.
We're all aware it's a play on words (et j'ai lu les paroles en francais.).It still remains a song which playfully hints at incest. It just annoyed me that you were being cheaply pretentious and hypocritical about it. I don't care about music industry tactics, my only care is that it's plain and obvious what the song is about.
@expressexpose Don't say ''we're all aware'' because it is just not the case, unless you're that delusional. Le véritable sujet de la chanson est le désir d'inceste et non sa réalisation physique. De plus le désir exprimé par Serge Gainsbourg ne signifie pas un désir de passer à l'acte physiquement, mais d'un amour platonique, une affection si développée qu'elle est proche d'un sentiment d'inceste. Peut-être as-tu simplement des difficultés lorsque vient le temps d'analyser une oeuvre.
Yeah Pedobear, that's exactly what I was saying: it's "covert incest". I was not debating whether it was sexual, consumed etc or not. (and she's too young to consent anyway) Non-sexual incest, damaging like all forms of emotional abuse etc etc. And you see nothing wrong with that. Please.don't have any children anytime soon.
@expressexpose Of course Einstein, I'm sure Charlotte is scarred for life, you know, since it's a SONG. You have to understand that it is not Serge ''speaking'' in the song, but a character. It would be like saying that an author who writes about a murder is a killer, butIt seems to be an intricate notion for you to comprehend. Pedobear, really? What are you, 14?
I'm talking about ideas and not about the actual situation, as I obviously never met either of them. I only commented because you didn't seem to get that subtlety alone is powerful and that there's such thing as psychic incest. That's all.
@expressexpose It's kind of awkward how you keep on insisting that I am somehow a pedophile, I mean if you experienced incest or abuse as a child I feel genuinely sorry for you, but please don't project yourself on me or include me in your twisted fantasies, thanks!
To those who are trying to legitimize this song...you have your blinders on for some weird reason...this video is creepy. Perhaps they are over affectionate in France...who knows...but with incest in the song jesus...think of the setting! Being filmed on a bed/altar looking thing with your dad there (probably to make her feel comfortable)...there is such a thing as EMOTIONAL INCEST look it up...this makes me sick in my opinion.
I love all the creeps here trying to legitimize this child pornography with his own preteen daughter. I hope none of you libtard slimes have any children.
It's a play on words, people. He took the phrase "un zeste de citron (a lemon zest)" and turned it into "inceste de citron". But he's just singing among lemon zest! And it's a sweet love song to his daughter -- about the pure and exhilarating love only a father and daughter can share, and it's not about them having sex.
people are blowing things out of proportion! people who say this have probably never heard a serge song before, or a song written by serge, then you would know what he likes to do with lyrics. also you can not use Google translate to translate serge lyrics, his songs are untranslatable.

@Rymaton7 This is not sick, because this is just a song... And the sing "l'amour que nous n'front jamais ensembles" so : the love we never do together.
Vu le 1970 à la fin de votre pseudo , je suis de la même année, En réponse à votre commentaire je rajouterai juste que au moins à cette époque on pouvait " provoquer " en étant libre d'expression ! A l'heure actuelle, cela ferai scandale vu qu'il n'y a plus de liberté d'expression.
anyone who like or favorite this fuckedup song you are a pedophile & child molesters this song can not be right in any way its wrong & serge gainsbourg fuckyou you pervert sick i didnt know who the hell he is until now i was reading a blog wrote alot of stuff about him and that how i found this bastard ugly ass
Erm, he didn't do anything, this is a fabulous song and a brilliant parody. Serge is a legend, what did he 'do'? And what does having a dick and balls have to do with my opinion on art?
@SeyMe2 will if you think a father singing with his child half dress in song called incest and in that position sleeping and he is half naked normal will i just hope you dont have a child cause that disturbing as hell and here is the blog read about him just type in google :
Pseudo-Occult Media: Mind Controlled Lolitas: The French Touch
Oh this is hysterical. A propaganda blog has more critical weight than revered artists and professional critics worldwide? This is a wonderful piece of art, just because you don't appreciate it that doesn't mean you should insult and target others for having taste and not being such a stooge. Charlotte says this was one of the best times of her life and he was a wonderful, warm-hearted man.
Well this whole song is questionable at best..........If only "why was his daughter half dressed on a bed with him while they both sang about incest?" I truly hope this was just a song with no underlining truths.
And for some unknown reason to me, I actually like the song. It's pretty catchy =)
Comparing this guy to Nabokov is absurd. 'Lolita' is a brilliant piece of provocative literature. It might not be everyone's taste, but its beautifully written. THIS song, is crap. I have a feeling, most people that like it, do so because they THINK its on the same plane as 'Lolita'...wrong. Not even close. Singing a creepy song about macking on your 12 year old daughter is not provocative...its gross, especially when you can't even be bothered to write the song very well.
@gnrkrystle Hahaha! You fancy yourself quite the critic. So, what have you ever done except talk a bunch of shit? Here's a hint, never use the words Nabakov and absurd in the same phrase because it just makes you sound like the complete and utter douchebag that you probably are.
@aatamirikollinen I believe i said you COULDN'T compare this crap to Nabakov. If you can't comprehend English, I'm sorry. However, 'Lemon Incest' is useless drivel attempting to be 'provocative'. Nabakov was a genius. I wasn't calling Nabakov "absurd", merely the comparison of a classic like 'Lolita' to this stupid song. Are you saying that this pretentious song is, in any way, comparable to 'Lolita'? If so, I believe I'm not the one with a problem with critiquing.
@gnrkrystle Typical. You are so self absorbed you can't even grasp the message. I think in terms of comparing art as if it were a competition of some sort. I leave that to those incapable of any type of creative thought such as yourself. My point, that you completely missed, is that by using the words Nabakov and absurd in the same sentence, you come off as some sort of third rate prep school literature teacher. You must feel really bad about who you are. I can't really blame you.
@aatamirikollinen If that reply is the best sense you can make, I'll take "3rd rate prep school literature" because at least I make an ounce of sense. Thank you for my daily laugh.
@RobotModel790 Taken straight from wikipedia: "The title is a play on words in French in the chorus between "Un zeste de citron" ("A lemon zest") and "Inceste de citron"("lemon incest")."
yes it's provocative, yes people who don't know serge might think that he's some sort of an incestuous father... but listen to the song and try to understand the lyrics and u'll see that he's talking about unconditional love that he has for his daughter...
translate: "l'amour que nous ne ferons jamais ensemble est le plus beau, le plus violent, le plus pur, le plus enivrant..." and u'll understand
@momozemios sa veut juste dire que si ce netait que deux,il le ferait comme dans les vieux pays ou on ne sevit pas pour ce genre de crime -on en voit beaucoup ici dans les reserves indiennes
oh, small minds. if you only knew how much you are missing if nuance is a foreign concept. this is a beautiful song. and, it's not what you think. good lord, i'm afraid to entertain the thought.
brilliant! He was a genius, and probably one of the only people who could get away with such a song, not to mention making it so powerful despite the otherwise horribly creepy subject matter.
Yeah, I don't know how it happened that Nabokov, Gaspar Noe and some others mananged to get away, too...
Yeah, it's an incredibly powerful song if your looking for idiotic music sung idiotic and interpret it as art just because it's on TV and it's rather old.
Interesting that so many of the comments here have been nothing but vicious anti-Semitic attacks!
Whatever one thinks of the music or subject addressed in the song or the movie "Charlotte For Ever", one key thing must be noted. The line "L'amour que nous ne ferons jamais ensemble," was badly garbled by Google translator. It should say "The love we are never going to have together," i.e. despite thoughts they may have, they explicitly recognize a boundary they will not actually cross.
@lucky13atw13 lol, calm down crusader. It's just a song and a music vid with actors on it. If you feel sick what were you doing on youtube looking at a vid with incest in the title? what did you expect? lol
He's Jewish and according to the Sanhedrin Chapter 55 b once a girl is 'three years and one day' a man can have sex with her. I know the Jews have strong rules against incest but his daugher is half 'goyim' (non-jew animal) so perhaps he feels the Torah rules do not apply?
PEDOPHILE WHO ALSO BETRIAled FRANCE GALL WITH LES SUCETTES A LNAIS PURE MYSOGINY AND PEDOPHILIA IT BECAME THE FAVORIT SONG OF ALLPEDOPHILE.. AND SO DOES THAT ONE..
BTW RREGARDING TRANSLATION PAPA PAPA MEANS DADDY DADDY..
I could understand orange incest, tangerine incest or even grapefruit incest, but this lemon incest is just plain over the top disgusting! ;-)
A side note for all you detractors: Pull out your handy-dandy King James Old Testament and read the story about Lot and his daughters. It follows right after Sodom and Gomorrah and the pillar of salt. What's a dad to do after his silly wife is gone? Remember, according to scripture, Lot was "righteous" in the sight of God.

Aside from the fact the song isn't any good, the video is reprehensible. Why would Gainsbourg get a free pass on such a sleazy exploitation of his daughter? If an average person were to post something similar, he'd be arrested, rightfully.
He seems to have gained his reputation more from his provocative persona than his musical abilities. He is NOT anywhere close to being in Jacques Brel's league.
@Quex01 Gainsboug is a genius, you'd have to kiss his feet and bite his dust. Sweep away all doubts, this is music, not crime. and stop using the world Jewish: you risk to offend a whole people and their tragedy. Get out this page.
@Quex01 dear son of bitch, unfortunately i have not the priviledge to know you in person, but I use to deal with shits like you , so I'll treat them the way you shoul be. you are nothing but a Hitler's devoted, a criminal who must be squeezed to death. I hope you might die like a burnt cake in an oven. Fuck you too, son of bitch and bloody bastard racis.Learn to respect deads. to the administrator of the thread. please ban nazi from here.
@Quex01 Une superbe chanson sur l'amour d'un père pour sa fille ! ceux qui pensent que cette chanson est une ôde à la pédophilie et à l'inceste n'ont tout simplement rien compris !
Il faut bien sûr ne pas prendre la chanson au premier degrès et savoir un peu lire entre les lignes...mais les culs-bénis moralisateurs n'ont apparemment pas cette capacité là.
@ Ralhannah: yh, someone very profoundly sick ! Only the French love him because they are as sick and twisted. There should be a limit to provocation. He had no talent, he had a fucked up voice, his lyrics were basically dirty, he was rude as hell and to top it all he was an ugly mother fucker. His only luck which made him rich and famous is that the average Frenchman doesn't know any better! Who's pathetic now?
@evyyaguibou you're focusing on everything from your perspective, but it is necessary to understand its time, at that time people had another vision of life, he was a great provocateur, an artist and he had anarchist tendencies, is a type of mind that you should respect . people today have a different mentality and are very ignorant. he had a great culture, was also a great songwriter.
This makes me sick. You can't slap an "art" label on just anything and make it okay. It's like those people who skinned cats and hung them up, calling it art. Sick is sick and this guy should be arrested.
he's dead...that is somewhat impossible. don't knock him, he was always the show-stopper; getting the attention of the public with scandalous things, which were incredibly harmless. i can think of a million things worse than a song about incest. it's obviously done in parody. if you knew anything about this guy you'd know this much. so please, save the accusations for people who rape art, and not make it ;)
If he was so talented than why would he have to do such a provocation? why scare your child for life? why did her mother let her do that? these people are sick....
I love how all these French people are saying us "Yanks" should open our minds and accept this vid meanwhile stereotyping us by saying we're all fat and listen to crappy rap music. 1. Like some people have said- the actual song may not be so bad, but come on...this vid is totally creepy. It's the prelude to a sex scene, essentially. 2. I for one am a "Yank" and I'm not fat nor am I narrow minded, just sensible.
Scandale!

@gnrkrystle Typical. You are so self absorbed you can't even grasp the message. I think in terms of comparing art as if it were a competition of some sort. I leave that to those incapable of any type of creative thought such as yourself. My point, that you completely missed, is that by using the words Nabakov and absurd in the same sentence, you come off as some sort of third rate prep school literature teacher. You must feel really bad about who you are. I can't really blame you.

yes it's provocative, yes people who don't know serge might think that he's some sort of an incestuous father... but listen to the song and try to understand the lyrics and u'll see that he's talking about unconditional love that he has for his daughter...
translate: "l'amour que nous ne ferons jamais ensemble est le plus beau, le plus violent, le plus pur, le plus enivrant..." and u'll understand

Interesting that so many of the comments here have been nothing but vicious anti-Semitic attacks!
Whatever one thinks of the music or subject addressed in the song or the movie "Charlotte For Ever", one key thing must be noted. The line "L'amour que nous ne ferons jamais ensemble," was badly garbled by Google translator. It should say "The love we are never going to have together," i.e. despite thoughts they may have, they explicitly recognize a boundary they will not actually cross.

He's Jewish and according to the Sanhedrin Chapter 55 b once a girl is 'three years and one day' a man can have sex with her. I know the Jews have strong rules against incest but his daugher is half 'goyim' (non-jew animal) so perhaps he feels the Torah rules do not apply?

I could understand orange incest, tangerine incest or even grapefruit incest, but this lemon incest is just plain over the top disgusting! ;-)
A side note for all you detractors: Pull out your handy-dandy King James Old Testament and read the story about Lot and his daughters. It follows right after Sodom and Gomorrah and the pillar of salt. What's a dad to do after his silly wife is gone? Remember, according to scripture, Lot was "righteous" in the sight of God.

Aside from the fact the song isn't any good, the video is reprehensible. Why would Gainsbourg get a free pass on such a sleazy exploitation of his daughter? If an average person were to post something similar, he'd be arrested, rightfully.
He seems to have gained his reputation more from his provocative persona than his musical abilities. He is NOT anywhere close to being in Jacques Brel's league.
