Serge Gainsbourg - Je t'aime moi non plus



An absolute classic - probably the most played song at my own household this year. Love to play it on the organ myself too.

youtube:

+ the original version with Brigitte Bardot:
http://www.youtube.com/wa...RrlkXQshd8

Bardot asked Gainsbourg not to release this one when they broke up, so he went to re-record the airier and softer new one with Jane Birkin. Both versions are actually rather excellent, but the Jane Birkin one in my opinion is actually an improvement over the first recording. As you can hear the organ sound used is entirely different on the two - the lighter one is more senual of course, but the heavy church organ of the Bardot one is quite sexy too.

They don't make'em like they used to, folks.
