Ex‐fan des sixties by Jane Birkin

Ex-fan des sixties, petite baby doll
Comme tu dansais bien le rock'n'roll
Ex-fan des sixties, où sont tes années folles?
Que sont devenues toutes tes idoles?
Où est l'ombre des Shadows
Des Byrds, des Doors
Des Animals, des Moody Blues
Séparés, McCartney
George Harrison
Et Ringo Starr et John Lennon

The Monkees' Randy Scouse Git has a couple of references.

  • The girl in the yellow dress - Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas
  • The four kings of EMI - the Beatles

Sugarloaf - Don't Call Us, We'll Call You

Quote:
Well, listen, kid, you paid for the call
You ain't bad but we've heard it all before
And it sounds like John, Paul and George


they throw in a guitar riff from the Beatles', "I Feel Fine"

The birds and the airplane did fly
Oh, Ravi Shankars music made me cry
The Who exploded into fire and light
Hugh Masakela's music was black as night
The Grateful Dead blew everybodies mind
Jimi Hendrix baby, believe me, set the world on fire, yeah
