This wonderful French Icon was actually British not that it really matters, didn't have a clue what all those moaning noises were when this song was released, but i really liked them. Wouldn't it be marvellous if it were to be played at her funeral, RIP Jane and god bless you for awakening this young man all those years ago.

To get back on track - as mitolo respectfully suggests
Jane Birkin has a long relationship with Serge Gainsbourg - who wrote and 'sung' the song - 'Je t'aime' He had originally recorded it with Brigitte Bardot - whilst having an affair with her - However, Bardot's husband - the wealthy playboy Gunter Sachs demanded (or paid-off) Gainsbourg to Not release the record ... as a consequence, some years later, Serge Gainsbourg re-recorded the song with his then partner Jane Birkin... and the record shot to Number 1 in the Charts. Brigitte Bardot and Jane Birkin ... Talk about 'getting the Double up'. |

By:
i didnt veer. if i had instigated the brainless interlude i would be guilty. i responded to another twerp
could have ignored it but i cant resist a cheap joke when im several botlles to the good |

Gainsbourg was certainly no oil painting, so makes one wonder quite what Bardot and Birkin saw in him.
I suppose it was simply his artistic genius... .  |

She certainly inspired a sea of teenage orgasms.

By:
What would one call a collection of teenage orgasms, one wonders ?
A 'frenzy' ? |
|
By:
she wasnt gorgeous but she was sexy
like a lot of french/anglo wimmin. beatrice dalle, who looks like me is a shining example. im not a body hair fan and she looks like she has giant haystacks in a headlock but is still sexy |
