Poupée de cire poupée de son - France Gall - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Poupée de cire, poupée de son" is a 1965 French pop song performed by France Gall, representing Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest. Penned by Serge Gainsbourg, the track stands out for its yé-yé style and was notably the first non-ballad to clinch the Eurovision title. The melody draws inspiration from the prestissimo movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 1. Lyrically, the song delves into the life of a pop singer, likening her to a "wax doll" manipulated by external forces, a possible nod to Serge Gainsbourg's influence over France Gall's career. Following its Eurovision success, the single sold 16,000 copies in France the next day and surpassed 500,000 copies within four months. France Gall recorded versions in multiple languages, including German, Italian, and Japanese. "Poupée de cire, poupée de son"'s innovative approach and catchy melody have led to numerous covers over the years, cementing its status as a Eurovision classic.​
