It seems 'Beat Girl' 'Owl Service' girl Gillian Hills also attempted a French singing career, and is in fact still making records today in which she sounds as uncannily young as she seems to have all ways been.
In this one she is trying to contact her boyfriend on the phone but always gets the busy signal "der der der der" . Rather odd that Mini she is in, changes from right to left hand drive half way through (not a mirror image as the number plate appears to stay the same)
This one turns up as stock music in a few films etc and a surprise that it is from our Gillian and
not a true French girl
Other gems in her collection include the wonders she found in her first cigarette LOL and
some perhaps should not have been ignored modern recordings.

Ace Records compiled her 1960s French recordings onto a 2017 CD with an interview with Gillian in the booklet. She said that she had "never earned a penny" from her singing in France in the 1960s and here appears to have been a gap of fifty years or so before she began recording a new album ("Half in English, Half in French") www.acerecords.co.uk/-65 |

Indeed there appear to be several TV appearances, still extant, in France between 1959 and 1965.

Zou Bisou Bisou was famously featured in Mad Men nearly a decade ago. I believe Tut Tut Tut Tut has also recently made something of a comeback after recently being used in the Netflix show The Queen's Gambit.

Zou Bisou was one of those tunes you can't quite remember where you have heard it and then it pops up again somewhere. |

"It's...one of those songs that you hear now and then
You don't know quite where, and you don't know quite when...".
I thought, at first, that this thread was about a show similar to Not Only But Also!
