Sylvia Kristel sings Gainsbourg
Sylvia Kristel sings Gainsbourg, now THAT is something. The actress who’s best known for her role as Emmanuelle recorded it together with one of my alltime Dutch rockheroes Rick de Leeuw (formerly of Tröckener Kecks), who translated the lyrics to Dieu Fumeur de Havanes. They will perform it live on the Dutch Film Festival (9/29), and here.
Rick de Leeuw & Sylvia Kristel – God trekt graag aan zijn Havana
Just discover this blog… The voice of Sylvia is so suggestive…
I will add this site to my blogroll.
Best regards!!!
Thanks, Maks. Sounds like German can really be the sound of cool. I studied linguistics, by the way 😉
You might have a look over here, Sky:

And yeah, when you’re trying to act like an eloquent guy, it’s wise to drop words like ‘salonfähig’, ‘Leitmotiv’, ‘angehaucht’ or ‘Aha-Erlebnis’ for instance so every now and then 😉
nice to hear her again. didn’t like his voice though.
she can’t really beat her francis lai track ’emmanuelle’ – her voice is perfect on it.
Hey Maks, have you got a good track by the Kecks for me? And is “salonfähig” a common expression in Dutch?
Now that really IS something! The Kecks were my Dutch favourites back then too. Way before singing rockmusic in Dutch became salonfähig, they already did a great job.
Hope I can make to Eindhoven next year. And hopefully there’s more than just one song by Kristel and de Leeuw!
Better than the original 😉 Dank je wel!
