More songs about Bridgette... we'll start with a lovely one that was recommended by C.
Is it too late for Christmas songs? Not if they sound as gorgeous as that.
Here are a few more titular mentions...
And a selection of interesting lyrical nods...
Like Brigitte Bardot
In Godard's Les Mepris
I can't love you enough
To make you complete
You appear in my dreams
With some new courtier
You need me there to see
What you need to convey
Quiet on the set please
We'll take it one more time
Shoot her at close range
A little more flesh
I know she wouldn't mind
Cruise with his shirt off
And Bardot on her wall
No, you can't survive with a quiet hit
Sometimes you've gotta show it all
I dreamt last night that Brigitte Bardot
Was drowning in the clutches of a big undertow
And guess who the lifeguard, her only salvation
That mouth to mouth resuscitation
I going talk to Brigitte Bardot
And tell her, "Miss Bardot take it slow"
All the men think they're Casanova
When they see that she's bare foot all over
Even old men out in Topeka
Find their hearts getting weaker and weaker
So we must ask her for your sake and mine
At least wear her earrings part a' the time
Where have you gone, Betty Crocker?
Come back, Brigitte Bardot, Eddie was in for a shocker
How was he supposed to know
About the secret life of Eddie's first wife?
Pyjama party, pyjama party party
I asked Brigitte Bardot and Fred Astaire
But they didn't show, no no no
Can't say I'm surprised, given Sailor's reputation.
End of the road
Remember singing along
To Bridgette Bardot
Je t'aime de toute mon âme
Elton, meanwhile, mentions her in two separate songs. I'm guessing Bernie must be a fan.
I'd make an exception
If you want to save my life
Brigitte Bardot gotta come
And see me every night
Marlene Dietrich
Marilyn Monroe
Brigitte Bardot
Doris Day
Billie Jean
Samantha Fox
Joan Collins
Kiki Dee...
And that list goes on and on (on the album version, at least).
Another list from Rick...
Sophia Loren, Bridgitte Bardot, Jean Harlowe
Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Deitrich
But Greta, you're better than any I've seen
Yes, you were a real beauty queen
Whereas Rod's in two minds about Brigitte...
I had a crush on Bardot
Fell in love with Monroe
Read about 'em in the nationals
All the juicy little scandals
But I never saw 'em dancin' at the county hall
With the short fat guy's prematurely bald
You can keep your Streisands
Bardots and Lorens
You're my everything
Let's get a bit more down to earth with Ian...
You're not Bridget Bardot, I'm not Jack Palance
I'm not Shirley Temple by any circumstance
Or Fred Astaire
Let's finish today with Ms. Bardot herself, with Serge of course, on her Harley...
But that's not the end of our Bardot tribute. Come back tomorrow for even more!
Wait a minute, Rol, tomorrow's Tuesday! Yep...
