It was said that Serge thought this song was one of the best he had ever written. I agree!

Aug 21, 2008 - I agree. It's his attitude and swagger that makes him so sexy.
WhiskeyyWoman Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Yeah I think they were Russian Jews who fled to France to escape persection. That's only if I remember it right...

Aug 21, 2008 - Yes you're right, Whiskey Woman! Lucien Ginsburg was his real name. His parents were Russian. You can see the slavic traits in his face in this video. He was told to be very ugly, but in fact he was ever so handsome, but different from everyone else. I can watch his videos for hours, just looking at his face and listening to the musci. Le beau Serge, they called him. He wrote a song about it, La beauté cachée des laids, des laids. The hidden beauty of the ugly ones.
WhiskeyyWoman Says:
Aug 21, 2008 - Yeah, I sort of see it. I agree, I think his attitude and everything made him so irresistable. "The ugly may be beautiful, but the pretty - never."

Aug 21, 2008 - Major child-molesting vocal style. I'm sorry. I guess French just isn't my language. Sometime it's really beautiful, but with Serge Gainsbourg the pronunciation often seems kinda overdone.Again, I'm sorry. You can go on and tag this comment 'thumbs down' now.

Aug 21, 2008 - do not be sorry my friend, after all this is a free space and our opinions not always are those of the mainstream which is good. I love Serge and I love everything french except the french themselves but that's just me...

Aug 21, 2008 - Serge Gainsbourg's face reflects the special facial traits of Russian Jews who have Khazar (Turkic blood) in them, especially the bulging eyes, and high eyebrows.
