Je t'aime... moi non plus

The controversial song was written by Serge Gainsbourg and sung by him and his soon-to-be girlfriend, Jane Birkin who replaced actress Brigitte Bardot and has remained through-out history as the signature anthem of French cabaret. The song was known much for it's racey undertones and the simple repitition of the phrase "I love you" detailed by Birkin's breathy moans. The song debuted at #1 on the UK charts and ironiclly at #69 within the US. The tune would go on to be the influence for the disco classic "Love To Love You Baby" spawned by singer Donna Summer and legendary producer Giorgio Moroder both of whom would later duet "Je T'aime" in its original form.
