Now playing on my French song playlist:

Title: Moi je joue
Songwriters: Gerard Bourgeois and Jean-Max Rivière
Performed by Brigitte Bardot

Lyrics I like:

Moi, je joue
Moi, je joue à joue contre joue
Je veux jouer à joue contre vous
Mais vous, le voulez-vous ?
De tout cœur
Je veux gagner ce cœur à cœur
Vous connaissez mon jeu par cœur
Alors défendez-vous !

Translation:

Me, I play
Me, I play cheek to cheek
I want to play cheek to cheek against you
But you, do you want it?
With all my heart
I want to win this heart to heart
You know my game by heart
So defend yourself!

Considered one of the world’s most beautiful people, Brigitte Bardot is a French film star, model, and singer who has even inspired many songs about her. Here are a few songs that make a reference to Brigitte Bardot:

  • “Entre la jeunesse et la sagesse” by Kate & Anna McGarrigle (1980)
  • “I Shall Be Free” by Bob Dylan (1963)
  • “Lacy” by Olivia Rodrigo (2023)
  • “Message of Love” by The Pretenders (1981)
  • “Red Wine Supernova” by Chappell Roan (2023)
  • “We Didn’t Start the Fire” by Billy Joel (1989)

A few years ago, I recall hearing « Moi je joue » in a TV commercial (but I don’t remember the product being advertised!) Its upbeat sound is playful and flirty, much like Brigitte Bardot’s “sex kitten” persona during the ‘50s and ‘60s.

An ardent supporter of animal rights, she’s been fined in recent years for offensive or racist comments she’d made toward certain groups of people she believed mistreated animals.

Brigitte Bardot turned 90 on September 28, 2024.

I like to listen to songs en français, so I won’t forget the French I learned in school!

🎞️ Watch And God Created Woman (Et Dieu… créa la femme) on France Channel. It’s the 1956 film that’s credited with giving Brigitte Bardot her “sex kitten” persona. When the film was released in the U.S., a Christian group even tried to condemn it for its nudity and adult themes. Set in St. Tropez, this film is about a young woman in love with one man, but ends up marrying his brother.
