Laisse Tomber Les Filles


It's been a heavy week in flat track world, so let the teenage France Gall sing you one of my all-=ime top ten 7in singles, and, hopefully, lighten the mood. This song was written by Serge Gainsbourg and Anglicised and covered by April March, and featured in Quentin Tarantino's otherwise strangely forgettable Deathproof.
The original title translates as Don't chase the girls.
Enjoy. G

Shebam! Pow! Blop! Whizz!

Brigitte Bardot in a catsuit? How does that Gainsbourg bloke do it? This is from 1968, and BB will have been 33 or 34. Blop indeed. Rumours that the video will be re-enacted in its entirety on the Sideburn stand at the Verona Motor Bike Expo are still unconfirmed (and dependent on Gary getting hold of a flesh-tone catsuit). MP
