In this Scopitone from 1963, The Tornados play their Joe Meek produced hit “Robot” dressed as… robots. One of the stranger entries in the endlessly fascinating world of Scopitones.

Love hurts in this 1968 Scopitone for French chanteur Georges De Giafferi’s song “Sado-Maso.”

Et brûle moi le bout des seins (And burns my nipples ...)
Au tison de ta cigarette ! (In your brand of cigarette!)
Ça sent l’cochon grillé ! (It smells of roasted pig!)

Tant pis allons nous recoucher (Too bad we’re going back to bed ..).
Parmi nos tessons de bouteilles! (Among our broken bottles!)
Laisse moi taillader ton dos (Let me slash your back ...)
Avec un épluche légume! (With a vegetable peeler!)

If this is a parody of Serge Gainsbourg, it’s brilliant. The Bardot look-alike is perfect. If it’s not a parody, it’s still brilliant.
