Gainsbourg's erotic lyrics and Jane's passionate whispering caused a scandal at the time of its release in 1969. The lyrics were delivered in a breathy, suggestive style and the song culminates in simulated orgasm sounds by Birkin. It was banned from radio play in Italy, Iceland, Poland, Sweden, Spain, and the UK, and denounced by the Vatican in a public statement. In short, "Je t'aime moi non plus" benefited from a huge amount of free publicity and rocketed straight to the top of the charts, selling around a million copies in the space of just a few months. |
