Gainsbourg's varied style and individuality made him difficult to categorize. This song was just one of his many duets with Brigitte Bardot, perhaps one of the sexiest women of the 1960s. This particular song of his is probably best described as "kitsch-pop" while the rest of his music spanned the gamut, from mambo to rock.
Serge is known for being poetic, provocative, humorous, and controversial. One of his songs, "Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus," which simulates the sounds of a female orgasm, was even censured by the Catholic Church. Upon his death in 1991, his funeral brought Paris to a standstill. Since his death, Gainsbourg's music has reached an iconic legacy in France and enjoys a cult following throughout the world.
In this quirky tune, Serge invites Brigitte to step inside his comic strip, where he's a hero who can accomplish extraordinary feats, like flying high above the city. Brigitte contributes comic sound effects like "Shebam! Pow! Blop! Wizz!"
