Kahimi Karie - Harmony Korine
[Spoken] Cryogenically frozen
To Bel Air in a Beetle car
Meet a newly reviving star
Table talk in the candlelight 'til four
The star has heard of the loungecore trend
From a few San Francisco friends
But I tell him that trend ended last year
People who can ride the wave
People who are old but brave
People who can stay in shape
Look great
People who have style to spare
And who wear ironic flares
People who would rather die than bore
And how did you remain so cool?
You signed your name and sold your soul
I guess you froze yourself, so cool you're truly cold
What's so disgraceful about growing old?
[Spoken] David Cassidy's stallion farm
Donny Osmond is on my arm
He's lost some hair and he's lost some charm
Hello!
Tony Bennett, Zsa Zsa Gabor
Staying relevant is like war
Who got killed and I wonder what it's for?
People who can swing for weeks
With tongues held firmly in their cheeks
Even when their own careers, look bleak
People who are all the rage
And refuse to quit the stage
People who would rather die than age
Did cool help you survive the cull?
The Palace Coup... who did you kill?
How will you write your will?
How will you quit the scene?
Well did you ever hear of Harmony Korine?
[Spoken] Cryogenically frozen
Wrapped in a glaze of 100% pure irony
Sanctified by fashion magazines
Can't you see they're laughing at you laughing at you
Laughing at yourself, old man
But that's the game you choose to play
Yeah, I've heard your shit, that's old shit, man
We're living in a different time, time for a little originality
Time for a little individuality
Why not try, why not try a little experimentation for a change?
Why not try living a little closer to the edge for a change?
Be brave enough to run the risk of failure because
Without failure there is no way in to the great adventure
You've got to be able to crash the plane
And walk away
Termination of our tolerance for your anecdotes, old man
Tell it to St. Peter
How you put down Michael Caine
How you blew up James Bond
Save your breath
Quit the scene
Save your breath
Quit the scene
Did you ever hear of Harmony Korine?

“Raffish, joli laid French balladeer revered by kitsch-loving Rock Snobs for his sleazy-listening pop of the 1960s and 70s. Despite hangdog looks and an inability to actually sing, Gainsbourg embodied the pungent flower of French manhood in all its Gallic glory, duetting and getting busy with such hotties of the period as Brigitte Bardot and English dolly bird Jane Birkin …”
/ From Serge Gainsbourg’s entry in The Rock Snob’s Dictionary in the November 2000 issue of Vanity Fair magazine /
Born on this day: musical genius, ultimate dissipated lounge lizard and French pop’s Marquis de Sade, Serge Gainsbourg (né Lucien Ginsburg, 2 April 1928 – 2 March 1991). Guzzle some vin rouge and chain-smoke Gitanes in his memory!
