'Objects In Space'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Quick Insider Tip: The hit version of "Je T'aime...Mon Non Plus" was a duet with Jane Birkin, but the original recording was with Serge and Brigitte Bardot. He actually fingered her to orgasm in the recording booth while she recorded her vocals. Gen-u-wine audio porn.
Well, yeah, the answer to that question is usually yes.
This is the song in question: [link]
The actual lyrics (which are reasonably innocent for Serge) will not be printed in the text, there are just a couple of listening exercises. But, of course, some people might take offense at the "coffee color" theme. But it's Serge, and it's actually a song with easy lyrics for beginners, so it's hard to resist.
Quick question...
