Sex, scandal, public outrage


And a Vatican statement condemning the immoral nature of the song. This was a massive hit in 1969 thanks to the free publicity by the moralizers. I wonder how such a song would be received today. Would such sexual overtones (including heavy breathing, moaning and an orgasm) still be as scandalous today? Would the FCC ban it from the radio? Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin sing "Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus."
