I heard "Jazz à Gogo" earlier today and it reminded me how much I liked this fluffy little bit of jazzy Ye-Ye Pop from France Gall. It's even got a vintage video from 1964--not a particularly good video, mind you, but that's beside the point. The world was in a great bit of turmoil and flux in the mid-60s, but you'd never know it from this.

Ye-ye pop was a thing in 1960s France, sort of the Gallic answer to the British invasion happening in the state. I've been kinda hooked on it for the past few weeks, so I might as well share the love. Here's France Gall with her pernicious little earworm, "Laisse Tomber Les Filles."
