M & General Elektriks - Melody Nelson ( Live On French TV ) 2009



... usually , I don't really like this french TV program called " Taratata " which seems to me as a pretentious but dull rip off of BBC's Later ( the host is NOT a musician ... it's probably why ... )... but this time .... there was a kind of magical on the set ... M & Hervé Salters are geniuses on guitar & keyboard & Gainsbourg's " Melody Nelson " is such a masterpiece ...
