LA BISE AUX HIPPIES by BRIGITTE BARDOT & SACHA DISTEL

FRENCH POP LYRICS

Do you remember Jacques Dutronc taking the piss out of hippies in a previous post? Here Serge Gainsbourg has a go at them in a song from the same year: 1967. Bardot and Distel sang it on a TV show, with Serge himself playing guitar in the background.
