One of my favourites was from 1963 (I think). Les Sucettes, sung by France Gall and written by Serge Gainsbourg. It is claimed, though some doubt it, that France Gall didn't know what she was singing about, thinking it was just a bubblegum pop aong about sucking on a lollipop. However, every French speaker immediately understood she was singing about giving a blow job. According to legend, after the show she learnt what she was really singing about and disappeared for three weeks and never sang the song again.
Great spectacle for musical kitsch and mediocrity with some (very few) highlights over the years, namely ABBA for one. I watch with a gang of friends to see what new musical depths can be plummeted to each year.
