Hey, I just thought I give it a try....I`m looking for a song I often heard when I was a really young kid (it is the only song that stuck in mind my whole life through...I don`t know why)....The problem is:
- It was not a very popular song, yeah it was a chart hit, but only a small one hit-wonder.
- I don´t know the singer (it´s a woman wich sounds a little bit like the typical french babydoll-singer (France Gall, Vanessa paradis...)
- I don´t know the title

Ok, how can anyone help me with no information at all?
I know the lyrics of the refrain:
"petit, petit homme,sex, drugs and rockn roll"
...and this again and again......

Ok, let´s see if someone knows this one? That would be crazy and 100% cool!
Very Happy

"petit, petit homme, sex, drugs and rocknroll" in the lyrics, right? And that´s in it for sure!!!..................

But when you sing it it seems so alike.

And the other hints fit well...

I agree with Francis, it "sounds" like "ex fan des sixties", from Jane Birkin
"petit, petit homme, sex, drugs and rocknroll" sounds a bit like "petite baby doll, comme tu dansais bien le rock n'roll".
Just check :wink:
