Nino Ferrer - Le téléfon

THAT’S NINO FERRER!” I had to nudge my friend and tell him. Suffice to say that he wasn’t as interested as I was.

Nino Ferrer gave us some great music and is responsible for a song that EVERY FRENCH PERSON KNOWS. They may not know who sang it, or all the words, or what the name of the song is but you start singing the chorus to the 1966 megahit “Le téléfon” and they’ll start singing it with you.

Not only is Nino and his then girlfriend Radiah in the movie, he also has two songs he wrote in it! The hunt was on. I had to have these songs. Many record conventions, internet searches and blank stares from vendors later, I am happy to announce that victory is mine and your’s too! You’ll find the link to the better of the two songs at the bottom of this post. And you’ll definitely be hearing it tonight at Bardot A Go Go.

Here’s a clip from Spermula. You can find the American dubbed version pretty easily but it doesn’t have the clip of Nino at the party. So I’m looking for the French version which is naughtier as well. But this scene has Radiah. I apologize for the use of the word midget.

There are a couple bare bottoms in this clip and it’s so bizarre let’s play it safe and label it NOT SAFE FOR WORK
