Serge Gainsbourg - Rock Around The Bunker

Jawohl!
(Special Gift für Hilts)

Yet another one of Serge's many finest moments,
this here little re-imagined nostalgia trip-slash-ode
he produced to conjure his fondly Nazi-riddled youth.

The titles are tantalizing enough:

1. "Nazi Rock"
2. "Tata Teutonne"
3. "J'Entends des Voix Off"
4. "Eva"
5. "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes"
6. "Zig Zag Avec Toi"
7. "Est-Ce Si Bon?"
8. "Yellow Star"
9. "Rock Around the Bunker"
10. "S.S. in Uruguay"

But don't let that stop you!

Wiki summarizes like so: a 1975 album by French singer and songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, containing songs which combined pseudo-1950s musical arrangements in the manner of Grease or The Rocky Horror Show with lyrics relating to Nazi Germany and World War II, complete with Gainsbourg's usual sex and scatology.

As a young Jewish teenager in occupied France, Gainsbourg was forced to hide from the Nazi and Vichy authorities; Rock Around The Bunker was all the more controversial in a country that has had a long period of coming to grips with its role in World War II.

Songs like "Nazi Rock", "Tata Teutonne" and "SS in Uruguay" further established Gainsbourg's role as France's resident pop provocateur, and was contemporary with David Bowie's similar Nazi obsession.

The opening lines to album opener "Nazi Rock"
invokes The Night of The Long Knives
(wheee!):


Voici venir la nuit des longs couteaux,
Enfilez vos bas noirs les gars,

Ajustez bien vos acroches-bas,

Vos porte-jartelles et vos corsets,

Allez venez ca va se corser,

On va danser le Nazi Rock!

Hören Sie!
