They don't harmonize well, other than that, like this song--wish her vocals weren't so overbearing on his.

I'm french and I don't understand why they translate it. S. Gainsbourg's lyrics must be sung in french. Here the lyrics melody is lost.

@Sydferret: try to learn the french lyrics, it sounds better. Initials BB, one of my fav with the entire album Melody Nelson (THE S.Gainsbourg's masterpiece).

Shit version,it's better with french word

Right up to the tops of her thighs She's got boots And its like a chalice To her beauty She's not wearing anything Aside from a little Essence of Guerlain In her hair At each movement You could hear The little sliver bells At her wrists Moving her rattles She moved forward And pronounced this word : Almeria

[sydferret]

Initials BB One night while I was Sombering In some English Pub In the heart of London Looking over "Mon- Ster love by Pawels A vision came to me In the seltzer water While the Emperor's Medals Shine at her waist In bronze and gold The platnum carves In a cold circle The mark of slaves On each finger

[goatsongrave]

do any of you have ears?!!

[Walterlemeloman]

nice version, like the psychedelic guitar

[krips22]

Not bad. Sounds good.

[perfuzz]

How on earth did you found a singer singing as dreadful as Brigitte Bardot. Impressive!

[WalkingZombina]

this sounds pretty good, i wasn't expecting it to.
