It's February, Valentine's month, so I'm dedicating all of my posts during this month to love. Just kidding, that would be treacly. I'm devoting all of my posts this month to fucking. And who better to kick it off than le roi of sleaze himself, Serge Gainsbourg. First, his legendary talk show appearance where he drunkenly propositions Whitney Houston (one NSFW word, delivered in an adorable French accent), back when she was young and sexy, not an old haggard crackhead, so this was something a reasonable person might actually do.
Then, the song. From Histoire de Melody Nelson, of course, your basic middle-aged man runs over 14 year old girl with his Rolls Royce, man has torrid love affair with said girl, girl dies in plane crash story. This is the song where he takes her to a fancy hotel and, presumably, fucks the everloving shit out of her. It is also at best only the second creepiest song of his career. The video here is fairly NSFW (is anything connected with Gainsbourg safe for work?) but the song by itself is perfectly tame, even if your co-workers speak French.
Embedding was disabled for this video too, so you'll have to click the link.

I was planning on posting "Melody" next week. Seriously.
I hate you, Craig.
