....................Love, love, love this song! A bit of research shows that the title is French for "I love
....................you... me neither". In 1968 Gainsbourg had written "Je t'aime, moi non plus", this
....................explicitly erotic song which he had recorded with Brigitte Bardot - they were lovers.
....................They recorded it, and broke up. Bardot begged Gainsbourg not to release the recording
....................of the song because she was married to another guy at the time. Later that year
....................Gainsbourg met and fell in love with Jane Birkin, and the song was re-recorded with
....................Birkin replacing Bardot, and it was released in 1969.
....................Every time it's on the radio, my mum cranks up the volume. She has done that since I
....................was a little girl. Then she tells the story about how it was "forbidden" when she was
....................young. She was 17-18 years old when it was released, and they had to go about
....................sneaking in the corners and bedrooms every time they listened to it.
