MAGNIFIQUE DOCUMENTAIRE!!! REGARDS Et MOTS SUR SERGE GAINSBOURG

[@manuelluna1999]

Magnific.

[@straightjacket7573]

Merci!

[@oficialcesarleitao]

Very good work by Serge.

[@Elvings92]

Hearing british music experts pronouncing poupée de cire poupée de son his hilarious :D sorry guys, I know my English pronunciation sucks but it's just so much fun

[@kjellhl1975]

My favourite french musician will always be Camille Saint Saens, but Gainsburg is on my top 5.

[@roboticunclephil]

Camille the goat

[@nabooster]

SS had better melodies but SG had les paroles bro

[@axelhager4773]

How can you mention a composer of the classical period and a chanson singer in the same breath? There's a world of difference: "le carnaval des animaux", "le cygne" (the swan) is most beautiful, "l'anamour" by Serge Gainsbourg is most beautiful, too, but of another leage. Regarding classics, let me give you an advice: Listen to "La Wally" the performance by the soprano DONIJ VAN DOORN and the orchestra of André Rieu, in case you don't know it. It will bowl you over, promise!

[@RoxGirl88]

RIP France Gall!

[@standafan4141]

Interesting interviews here of people who worked with him ad well as Charlotte and Jane. Gainsbourg is so much more than Je t'aime though and his early period is a lot closer to Chanson than anything else (Manon, le poinçonneur des lilas). His jazz period was just out of this world.

[@blackmore4]

I love all his stuff but one of my favourite Gainsbourg LPs has to be 'No. 4' (from the period you mention).

[@TheGoaBase]

Serge will always be a legend for French pop music

Legend , RIP Serge !

[@TheGoaBase]

...and for the history she was booed at the rehearsals from the italian audience and the orchestra, finally the british singer who came 2nd after the results slapped Gall because she was angry. Years after Gall said ESC for her was a nightmare. p.s. the same night her boyfriend told her she sang terrible which was true also she said it and broke with her from telephone. Poor France.

[@Texaslawhorn]

Such a shame that it wasn't a happy experience for France.

[@CabinFever52]

OMG I had Zaz on my old computer and didn't really have her name down when it crashed. Have been trying to locate her video I had ever since and I finally caught site of her in this video. I enjoyed learning about Serge Gainsbourg, but finding this name was the big highlight for me. Thanks. (this was the video that caught my attention, FYI: kzbin.info/www/bejne/noK5iYasetxrlZI )

[@spockboy]

At 12:16 they stop talking about Serge and things get really boring...

[@TheInstallations]

Where is the rest of the documentary?

[@straightjacket7573]

❤

[@oficialcesarleitao]

Bastante original.

[@MSYNGWIE12]

I always respected him and view him as a French, Leonard Cohen- the highest compliment one could pay. I should love to be one of their muses! Yeh-yeh forever...

[@charliecarson8834]

Nah, the guy at 2:50 is wrong. France's Eurovision entry in 1961 is credited with the launch of the bing-a-bang type Eurovision song lyric. One of the hooks in that song, "Printemps, avril carrillone," was literally "Bing et bong, bing et bong." So give credit to Gainsbourg for a catchy winning entry in 1965, but not that.

I had to figure out whether i was looking to a woman or a man.

[@misstekhead]

Je t’aime communiste (Moi non plus) Je t’aime Républicain Américains (Moi non plus) Now I know how to use this phrase. I think? Sorry, I hated my French teacher in high school, so I didn’t pay much attention in class. I preferred to study Japanese at the time. 😅

[@xsenjhiro]

Je me rappelle quand Gainsbourg a dit à Whitney Houston i wanna fuck you a la télé française Whitney Houston a dit wwat ?? et le présentateur dit non non il blague il dit ça pour rire et Gainsbourg répond non je ne blague pas

Bowie and him in the same sentence is a bit dickish.....He was eclectic and eccentric in a homogenous culture.....Yes talented but....let us not start casting stars into an already crowded sky.

[@WilmerCook]

Never really heard of him tell the internet, I am 73 and lived the 60s, music for us didn't come from France, now Germany was coming out with techno, but France? O I forgot Claudine Longet she new how to sing, a d kill people.

[@nickl9317]

Sorry for you dude, you were there and heard and saw nothing

[@marguskiis7711]

He was Sergei Ginsburg, a Russian Jew, donT pronounce some Sorzh Goenzhböö

[@nickl9317]

But the guy was french though. Don’t go for origins equals identity dude, doesn’t make sense and it’s got nothing to do with reality

[@carlapierini7547]

No his name was Lucien Ginsburg. Born in a Russian Jew family, but born in France - so he was raised with a French education. He preferred to change his stage name to Serge because he thought that Lucien was too common, and a hairdresser’s name he used to see everywhere in Paris “chez Lucien, coiffeur pour homme”. Anyway, he also “frenchified” his last name as well, changing Ginsburg to Gainsbourg. He was proud of his Russian origins but he was French in his heart before all

[@ind1123]

Going back , to the times , n the freedom n dangerosite of an era when people dared things, that song wasn't dull at all.

[@nickl9317]

Yeah except the song transcended its time and is still a favourite 60 years later. Also it’s a great young love song. Sorry you don’t partake

[@mikehunt9884]

tf is this thing.

[@superapex2128]

So... in essence, Moi non plus really means, in a COWARDLY manner ME TOO. How ingenious!!!! lol These people must score 105 on the Stanford-Binet test. What about us gentiles who score above 160 and who are backed by the body of Christ? lol No contest whatsoever. You were done before you even started 'bugging' us.

[@standafan4141]

I love you Nor do I I guess he's saying she's lying.

[@AmineMB]

No, himself said that they key of the song is "L'amour physique est sans issue", Physical love (attraction) have no future, and that the girl says Je t'aime in the act but the guy isn't fooled and says Moi non plus, so he doesn't believe the girl and knows that she only says so in the act.

[@standafan4141]

Amine MB yes indeed. She's coming so she keeps on saying I love you and he doesn't believe her and in his mind she's really saying "I don't love you" to which he replies "neither do I" or "nor do I". I'd go for Birkin's choice of words since she's English.

[@blackmore4]

@superapex21 _"You were done before you even started 'bugging' us."_ Seriously? Unbelievable. How is it possible to ignore Gainsbourg's genius while spouting anti-Jewish crap? And backed by... _"the body of Christ"_ ?! Sounds really painful.

[@seanduffield5432]

@@blackmore4 I wouldn't even bother trying to engage with this arsehole. My guess, from the terminology and small-minded language this idiot uses, he's a right-wing, bible thumping American christian, a typical hate-filled paranoia-prone puritanical drone, who probably doesn't even know where the clitoris is. He calls himself 'superapex', which perhaps is a clue to his own delusional ego and self importance. On the strength of his post, I would say a more fitting nom de plume would be 'Unremarkable ape'. It's a good job he's got the body of jesus to fantasise about. Without that, and living in a culture which is a barage of foam-mouthed fox news style misinformation and conspiracy-nut disneyland/x-files hysteria, he would have probably offed himself by now, or worse-still taken his repressed rage out on a bunch of innocents with a semi-automatic rifle, or blown up an abortion clinic. GAWD BLESS THE AMERICAN PURITANS!! ;)
