Lola Dutronic cover Serge Gainsbourg
Lola Dutronic (Richard & Stephanie) recorded several covers in the past years (here! here!), but never a Gainsbourg-reprise. On their new album, they’re righting that wrong with an electro-fied version of Harley Davidson. Whip-like beats, sweet vocals, sexy ad-libs, what more do you want?! Maybe a break-up song that’s titled ‘Go Fuck Yourself’? It’s there as well!
Alongside Mick Harvey and Anita Lane’s version, this is probably my favourite interpretation of Harley Davidson. I think the maestro would have appreciated it. “Lost in Translation” is also everything we’ve come to know and love about Lola Dutronic.
