Tune I can't get out of my head

Last edited Thu Jul 26, 2012, 06:30 PM - Edit history (1)

I'm a player of jazz and classical guitar but I keep singing this '60s pop tune inside my head. It's the French language hit "Laissez Tomber Les Filles" by '60s pop icon France Gall. She recorded this tune and the music video in the summer of 1964 when she was 16 years old, a few months after the Beatles arrived in America. Despite the fact this is nearly 50 years old, the tune still sounds fresh, modern, and ahead of its time to me, something that could have been written and performed yesterday. The gist of the song is a high school girl telling a boy to 'stop messing with girls' hearts like mine because one day it'll catch up to you'.

Edit: I forgot to add that the tune is part of the soundtrack of the 2007 Quentin Tarantino film, Death Proof.
