"Poupee de Cire Poupee de son" (Doll of Wax, Doll of Sawdust) penned by Serge Gainsbourg and winning song of the 1965 Eurovision song contest performed by France Gall.

" Panpan Cucul" is from the LP Vu de l'exterieur (1973) released after the landmark Histoire De Melody Nelson (1971). Gainsbourg suffered a heart-attack at the age of 45 in this year but recovered to start recording.

"La Victime" appears in the 1973 French thriller "Les Gants Blancs du Diable" (The White Gloves of the Devil).

"Contact" is another song with traces of Serge Gainsbourg who wrote this pulsing arrangement. Wooden Shjips did a fine psych-rock cover of this.

"Ricreazione Divertita" is from the score to the film Coure di Mamma (1969). This is a very special Morricone track and one of his best.

I've always loved the song "Jane B" and the vocals of Birkin. It's based around Chopin's Prelude in E Minor, Op 28. No 4.
