In addition to his work as a singer, Serge Gainsbourg also wrote a lot of songs for other singers like France Gall.
Poupée de cire, poupée de son
First, here she is performing at the 1965 Eurovision concert, where she won the Grand Prize (she's not on key all the time, but she makes up for it with cuteness).

Les Sucettes
Poor naïve France claimed that she didn't understand the double entendres of "Les Sucettes" ("The Suckers") until years later. I think that many of you will pick up on it from the video, even if you don't understand the lyrics.

Laisse tomber les filles
This apparently predates Poupée de cire..., but I discovered it after the others and it's in color so I assumed it came later. Check out the disastrous results of too much 60's-style hair-teasing! Still a cute song.

Her haircut reminds me of yours.
Fortunately I don't tease my hair like she does!
