The Super Bowl for Suckers

In honor of Valentine's Day (now a month-long event judging by the ads we've already been subjected to this week), here's an extremely suggestive 1966 clip of "Les Sucettes" penned by Serge Gainsbourg and sung by the lovely France Gall. The lyrics in this ode to lollipops might not be anything special in translation ("When the anise-flavored barley sugar slides down Annie's throat, she's in heaven"), but I think you'll agree that there's a certain je ne sais quoi about this sugary pop confection anyway. Too bad the song's alleged double entendres so distressed the then 19-year old Gall when she found out about them that she broke off her business relationship with dirty old man Gainsbourg, thus depriving the world from ever hearing the planned follow-up about corn dogs!
