Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin: Je T’aime Moi Non Plus (1969)

The breathy ballad has become synonymous with Marks and Spencer taste the difference advert which pushes tantalizingly tasty treats. But upon original release the song caused a huge uproar and was banned from multiple countries.

Written as a love song for Brigitte Bardot, the song includes the scandalous moans of Jane Birkin. Whilst it became the first foreign language song to reach No 1 in the UK charts, it was also the first to be banned in the UK alongside Italy, Sweden and Spain.
