It is hard to believe but there are some people who have never heard of 'je t'aime, (moi non plus)' - where have they been hiding?
Famously banned by Radio 1 because of its heavy breathing and saucy lyrics. This No.1 hit for French bad boy and bon viveur Serge Gainsbourg was originally recorded with Brigitte Bardot in 1967.
However, the single was not released, at Bardot's request, so sultry Serge re-recorded it with British girlfriend, Jane Birkin.It has since appeared everywhere from hardcore pornography to dodgy discos and adverts for lager.
