Serge GAINSBOURG (1928 - 1991), French author, composer.
Autograph song. (1967-1969), 1 page in-4 °
Rare unfinished song heavily crossed out in which all the creative genius of Gainsbourg manifests itself in the manipulation of words.

Gainsbourg evokes the Vietnam War with the introduction of the landing by helicopter of a GI who finds himself taken to task by soldiers of the Vietnamese People's Army: "little yellow soldiers":
"(…) J ' got out of a helicopter [word crossed out] goose poo I came across some little yellow soldiers they attacked me with knives [crossed out sentence] now I have blood spurting out all red in
alabama yelled a little boy all pink I came back to my mammy covered in bruises with sometimes black eyes I fought [striped sentence] I distributed and I received chestnuts (…) "
At the end of the 60s, Serge Gainsbourg lived in an era strongly influenced by American culture. Like Claude François, Johnny Hallyday, Eddy Michel or Joe Dassin, he writes songs that evoke American history: Bonnie and Clyde, Comics Strip, Mae West, Buffalo Bill, etc…). The idea of the helicopter in our song will be taken up in the one he will write for Mireille Darc "Helicopter".
