France Gall Serge Gainsbourg Les Sucettes Lollipops French & English Subtitles

Two versions of this hit song of 1966 , the first by yé-yé pop princess France Gall, the second a duet sung in parts with songwriter/provocateur Serge Gainsbourg. France was too young, at the time to discern the song's double meaning and was horribly embarrassed when she found out, but could not hold it against Serge. The playfulness of the lyrics full of internal rhymes and repetitions, the simplicity and catchiness of the tune make it hard for anyone to find fault with. Compare to Millie Small's 1964 Jamaican ska hit, "My Boy Lollipop." Thanks to philipchek of Paris and YouTube for help with the translation.
