| Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg - Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus |

In 1968 Gainsbourg had written "Je t'aime, moi non plus", an explicitly erotic song which he had recorded with Brigitte Bardot. After the pair's relationship had ended, Bardot begged Gainsbourg not to release the recording as a single and Gainsbourg, the perfect gentleman, respected her wishes. However, in 1969 Jane recorded the notorious song as a duet with Gainsbourg and it appeared on the pair's joint album "Jane Birkin Serge Gainsbourg". When "Je t'aime moi non plus" was released as a single later that year it caused an absolute scandal. Indeed, Gainsbourg's erotic lyrics and Jane's passionate whispering totally outraged public opinion. The international press attacked the song's "lewd" message, radios banned it from their playlists and the Vatican went so far as to issue a statement condemning the immoral nature of the song. In short, "Je t'aime moi non plus" benefited from a huge amount of free publicity and rocketed straight to the top of the charts, selling around a million copies in the space of just a few months. Needless to say, Gainsbourg and Birkin became the most scandalous couple of the year and their relationship became the subject of intense media scrutiny.

A lot has been said about the "Les Sucettes" and there are plenty of videos about it scattered online, so I put some of them together to tell a little bit about the story of this controversial song. I have also added english subs. Thanks RobinGoodFellovv for helping me with the translation. *****French speakers, let me know if I need to correct something******

Just a translation of a jewel of poetry and furious eroticism, Although as often happens, the difference in pronunciation takes away the lingering quality of original French lyrics.
