Love this little Gainsbourg clip, you have to marvel at 60s music TV. What they lacked in budget at CGI they certainly made up with some imagination.
You can't help but think of Austin Powers as well when you watch this kind of thing, but kind of forget that they probably found it funny even back when it was made. We like to think we are smarter and cleverer than those before, and we can laugh ironically at stuff they thought was cool, but kind of forget that they probably thought it was a laugh in the first place.
You also have to admire Serge's apparent complete disinterest in performing for the TV
The song sounds more raucous than usual, almost like a garage rock band or an early Rolling Stones number than his more usual jazzy sound. Very upbeat and energetic, and a bit rough round the edges.
Only two minutes long as well, plenty packed into such a short pop song. Nice one Mr Gainsbourg!
