'Comme un boomerang' was written by #SergeGainsbourg and intended for Dani to sing at #Eurovision 1975, but it was rejected for being too risqué. Gainsbourg's demo of the song was released as a single in 2011, on the 20th anniversary of his death. https://t.co/46Fv5HFOP4

France Gall's encore performance of 'Poupée de cire, poupée de son', after coming 1st at #Eurovision 1965. Performed after she copped a cruel tirade from then-bf Claude François and, allegedly, a jealous slap from the UK runner-up. What a trooper! ❤️ https://t.co/44P7hDnHYP
