  • Taken from the reissued double CD collection of Mick Harvey's two Serge Gainsbourg albums, Intoxicated Man and Pink Elephants, released on Mute on 7 April 2014.
    You can pre-order it here:
    Double CD: smarturl.it/harveyman14
    iTunes: smarturl.it/digiharveyman14
    Intoxicated Man (1995) and Pink Elephants (1997) are Mick Harvey’s interpretations of the songs of legendary singer, songwriter and poet Serge Gainsbourg and are the first major works translating Gainsbourg’s infuential work from French to English. The double CD collection will include two unreleased tracks, Dr Jeckyll and Run From Happiness.
    The vocal parts originally sung by Gainsbourg’s muses Jane Birkin, Brigitte Bardot and daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg are here sung by long time collaborator Anita Lane - other guests on the albums include Nick Cave and David McClymont.

      Tops cover - captures it so completely and the interpretation of each word is on point. The best, two great artists, one showing ultimate respect to the other. Marks of the slave on each finger ...

    Lazy translation.
    Also, something is lost in not pronouncing "BB" in french since the word produced is french for "baby"

    The vid would imo be much better without those...women.
    Did they deliberately choose not particularly attractive women? That blonde one gives me 'mares. A vision like that'd be enough to totally put me off drinking for life.
    That said...I love this cover. Hated it when I first heard it but it's grown on me. Totally different to the original but still, nice
