gainsbourg girls - tuesday

NICO - STRIP TEASE
hurrah! i have another reason to post this superstar. this is the first song she ever recorded (in 63) but it didn't surface until 2001! worth the wait though.

gainsbourg girls - monday

DALIDA - JE PREFERE NATURELLEMENT
i don't often have a reason to post any dalida tracks (except in 04), but since this week is about dolls singing serge gainsbourg songs - i finally have another reason. and i think you'll like it too!


wowsers: i would love to see this. it's a tv movie about dalidas life. watch the final scene from the film where she commits suicide. ghoulish, trashy, camp and very very sad.

folk off - sunday

BRITT EKLAND (?) - WILLOWS SONG
i'm not even 100% sure this is her singing because her 'acting' voice in the film is dubbed. who cares?! it's still ace. even in her nuddy dance scene some shots of her body were 'dubbed' as she was pregnant at the time! i couldn't not include this haunting track from this brit film classic with its folk soundtrack inspired by corn rigs, virgins and witchcraft!
