I thought that following a link to the video of Lulu Gainsbourg's version of L'eau à la Bouche I really had to link to his father's original.
The original a latin influenced jazz number came out in 1960, the title song for a romantic comedy film originally released on a soundtrack EP.
It comes very much from the time in his career when Gainsbourg was more influenced by jazz than by pop, a field he was very soon to dominate for the rest of the decade.
The song is probably better remembered than the film, Serge himself continuing to perform it even in the later days of his career.
