Mein Französisch ist auch nur rudimentär, aber es geht um eine Annie, für die es nichts schöneres gibt, als Lollipops zu lutschen, die nach Anis schmecken. France Gall war tatsächlich noch so unaufgeklärt, dass sie den Subtext nicht verstanden hat und das ganze für ein Kinderlied hielt:
„According to Gall, she performed the song as a simple children’s song about a girl who loves aniseed-flavored lollipops and was completely unaware of the erotic subtext of the lyrics, which involve extensive, playful double meanings referring to oral sex. Gall was filmed singing „Les Sucettes“ for television programs, with actions and props playing on the sexual references. Gall did not realize until later why the filming attracted so many visitors to the set. The 18-year-old Gall was upset upon finally learning the truth about the lyrics–„mortified, hiding herself away for weeks, refusing to face anyone“. Gall said that she had sung Gainsbourg’s songs „with an innocence of which I’m proud. I was pained to then learn that he had turned the situation to his advantage, mocking me.“ In a 2001 television interview, Gall said that she felt „betrayed by the adults around me. Gall’s discovery of this second, sexual meaning led to the breakup of the successful partnership between Gainsbourg and Gall and caused Gall, throughout her later life, to turn her back on the Gainsbourg period and most of the songs he wrote for her.“

Gehört zwar nicht wirklich hierher, aber gestern hab ich bei der Gelegenheit was Nettes entdeckt. Es hat echt eine Weile gedauert, bis ich gemerkt habe, dass das kein Original-Clip aus den 60s ist. Das Mädchen sieht ihr wirklich verblüffend ähnlich: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8xNuAVfS2I
