  • Serge Gainsbourg wrote it, France Gall performed it.

  • I doubt it, listen to the lyrics. (I'm a doll of wax, a doll of sound, my heart is engraved into my songs) It was Serge Gainsbourg who wrote it,who was pretty fond of his double meanings. Despite "poupee de son" normally meaning doll of bran or woodshavings (how the dolls were manufactured), for this song there is the obvious connotation of Doll of Sound, like those pull string dolls.

  • Adoro esta banda, minha favorita!!! brazil here!

  • Thanks for the discussion of the hidden meanings everybody. I came here because the song plays a role in the spy novel "The Tourist" and I got curious about it from that. I now suspect that the hidden meanings of the song are meant, by the author, to give us a very subtle insight into the psyche of the spy protagonist (who likes the song). It seems to fit.

  • @cherleyyeah He wrote it she sang it

  • Sur ce coup là: Belle and Sebastian vainqueurs!

  • @CAJAPOUL et @moscophilero

    vous savez meme pas de quoi vous parlez, bande d'ingrats ahaha

    ... et puis comparez Julien doré à Arcade Fire est vraiment quelque chose d'absurde, désolé...

    vous etes vraiment nuls et vous ne connaissez rien à la musique c'est certain, car la reproduction est la base de la creation, meditez la dessus et epargnez nous de vos conneries :)

  • Well, that's a double entendre

  • Je ne vois pas en quoi c'est s'approprier l'image d'un artiste que de reprendre une de ses chansons, surtout pour un concert. Et dans ce cas tout les orchestres de musiques classiques sont des prétentieux ^^

  • Hé bien c'est ton opinion...mais il faut quand même le vouloir très fort pour ne pas aimer Arcade Fire !
