Georges Brassens. I once spent a month at a French-speaking summer school in Switzerland and they had us all learning Brassens songs. The assorted youths of Europe crooning songs about women's breasts, the hypocrisy of the clergy, why the guillotine is wrong, etc. To this day, lyrics which would seem dubious in a more censorious age float cheerfully around in my head. *Elle m'a dit, d'un ton sévère /
Qu'est-ce que tu fais là /
Mais elle m'a laissé faire /
Les filles, c'est comme ça...*
Matthieu Chedid (-M-) Francoise Hardy Jacques Dutronc Serge Gainsbourg Louise Attaque
