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.

in realta' il dialogo e' questo - cazzo mia moglie! Ho investito mi moje ! Ma che stai a fa' qua de notte, vestita cosi'? In bicicletta poi...mo' te porto a casa e famo i conti.Chi sei Marilin Manson ? Seeee io so' Nelson Mandela. Namo a casa che te corco.

A rock opera, a concept album, whatever, this stuff is equal to anything produced in the English-speaking pop music world.

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

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!

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.

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...

@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.
