IanMoore3000Given how much I like Histoire du Melody Nelson as is maybe I should try and get my french up to a point where I can understand the lyrics. But I find myself wondering if what I really like about is the Jean-Claude Vannier arrangements and not the songwriting.
Serge Gainsbourg - Cargo Culte (Histoire de Melody Nelson 7/7)
Ray Cunningham@IanMoore3000 the risk is that you understand the lyrics and then you can't listen to the songs anymore
Karl Stanley@raycunningham @IanMoore3000 wait what is there something problematic about Serge Gainsbourgh?
@karlstanley @IanMoore3000 ah, he's probably fine
@karlstanley @IanMoore3000 how bad could it be?
@raycunningham @karlstanley I think Melody Nelson is a concept album about some dirty rotter getting it on with a 14 year old who then dies, so I suspect it could get pretty bad.
