Rétro - Serge Gainsbourg, Johnny Hallyday and Gérard Depardieu

Three of the big figures of French culture for the price of one in this clip, Serge Gainsbourg, Johnny Hallyday and Gérard Depardieu.

The song is Harley Davidson, which was a big hit for Brigitte Bardot that was written by Gainsbourg in the late 60s.

This is the reggae arrangement of the song that Gainsbourg himself would perform in the 80s following his Aux Armes et Caetera and Mauvaises Nouvelles des étoiles albums.

Of course, it doesn't take much of an expertise in either French language or motorcycles to spot that the song is about a Harley Davidson and the bike in the video is a BMW!
