"Man created god.The inverse remains to be proven."Partner in crime:
English actress (Blow Up ) and hearthrob, Jane Birkin.The effect:
mayhem and scandal.The magnitude: somewhere between Elvis' censored
pelvis and the tragedy at Altamont.Journalists, world politicians,
even the Pope condemned the song as immoral.There were calls for
stricter censorship, the review of pop lyrics.The single was banned
in Sweden, Spain, Brazil, and Britain.The Vatican implores the
Italian government to banish it.Philips is forced to stop pressing
the disc.The slack is however, instantly taken up by various black
market firms.And with
every shrill denunciation comes increased sales, exceeding 2 million
by winter's end.In familiar mythic terms he's 1 part rat pack, 1 part
beatnik, Chet Baker, Sinatra, a dash of Dylan, Leonard Cohen's
pungent growl, Tom Waits' irrepressible inventiveness, Johnny
Rotten's naughtiness, the look of an absinthe abuser.Actor, pianist,
singer, raconteur, poet, filmmaker, soundtrack composer,
photographer, painter, novelist but always the rascal voice of the
desire dispossessed.In 1975
he directed his first film, "Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus" with Warhol
star of Trash, Joe Dellesandro, Jane Birkin and a young, unknown
Gerard Depardieu.Born To Raise Hell; he just couldn't help it.Whitney Houston on live TV.His death of a heart attack on March 2, 1991, for
instance, warranted something of a national day of mourning in
France.His father Frenchified their
Jewish name and Lucien became Serge Gainsbourg.Excited
by his son's interest in the arts, he enrolled Serge in art school
near Montmartre, where Gainsbourg found himself roaming the exotic
and tacky streets; dreaming and peeking into the clubs and bordellos.This would affect him for
the rest of his life.After the war, Gainsbourg, now 19, continued
his ramblings through seedy Pigalle.Paris, the Milord Arsouille where his idol, Charles Trenet, got his
start.This propelled him headlong into
songwriting which he had always despised.Vian's praise won him his first contract.Like Bob Dylan's early ability to fuse blues, French
poetry, and the scene's zeitgeist Gainsbourg absorbed the day's
chaotic cultural, musical, and political currents to create art in
the form of a unique "voice."Gainsbourg even reinvented Dylan's
"Ballad of Hollis Brown."Also like Dylan, Gainsbourg's early fame
was due to poppier interpreters of his songs, himself claiming, "I
thought I was too ugly to sing them myself."It began with Les Freres
Jacques covering "Lilas" in a manner not unlike how Peter, Paul and
Mary covered "Blowin' In The Wind."Cuban rhythms ("Couleur Cafe"), the
Symbolist and rebellious poets he admired and interpreted: de Musset,
Nerval ("Le Rock de Nerval"), Baudelaire (Le Serpent Qui Danse").This enlarges his pallette, gives him new ammo, new
freedom to scat and pun, poke fun, undermine expectation.All these
influences, in his throat, become his own."Without
controversy it would all be very boring."Gainsbourg
grunts at Bardot straddling a Harley in leather hot pants, assuring
us all that the coming revolution will be a sexy one.He's named "Don Juan of the Year" by various women's
magazines."Jane B" is best described
as Lolita + Chopin.In 1975 his album "Rock Around the Bunker"
ruffled feathers because he hurled his legendary sarcasm at political
ghosts.In Marseilles the protests led to cancellations.In Strasbourg,
a bomb threat and 400 paratroopers vowing vengence spooked the
Wailers so much that they refuse to play.So Gainsbourg took the
stage alone, singing "La Marseillaise" without musical accompaniment.The goons join in to sing along and afterward file meekly from the
hall.He wins "best male performer"
and "best album" awards at that year's music awards in Cannes.This
is not lost on his audience.The delirious
provocations continue.Mercury) 1996
repackaging of Gainsbourg's jazzier stuff.Cibo Matto, Fred Frith, Franz
Treichler and David Shea.Liner notes by executive producer John Zorn.Moi Non Plus" by another Bad Seed, Barry Adamson, is
probably the most hauntingly evanescent replication.Moi Non Plus" by Anita Lane on her "The World's a Girl."Luscious Jackson on "Aint Nuthin' But A She Thang.""Hey, what the hell you doin' on my
Harley?""Wild One" hoodlum bluster

Isabelle Adjani: in 1983, Gainsbourg wrote an entire album's worth of

The first time I heard Melody Nelson, it was in Paris, year 1977 at a friend's home.Published 20 months ago by Michel A.Serge Gainsbourg could not have foreseen the timeless influence this soundtrack to a movie would have on the future of (groovy) music.This has got to be up there as the coolest half hour of tunes ever made.Published on March 3, 2004 by Mr.See all 17 customer reviews...Music Essentials forum
