song of the night

France Gall

A couple of months ago, we posted April March's "Chick Habit," which was perfectly utilized by Quentin Tarantino following the closing girl-power ass-kicking scene in Death Proof (video). As numerous commenters pointed out, "Chick Habit" is actually a cover (in English) of this song, which Serge Gainsbourg wrote for France Gall in 1964. We've been somewhat obsessed with this original version lately, and the video is pretty sweet as well.
