Oh You, Kiss, Kiss on Lionsgate TV
Lionsgate Television Music, the music arm of Lionsgate’s TV division, is releasing Jessica Pare’s sultry rendition of the ’60’s French pop hit “Zou Bisou Bisou” (loosely translated as “Oh you, Kiss, Kiss”) from last night’s Season 5 premiere of MAD MEN.
The single was released digitally at midnight on iTunes, with special limited edition vinyl to be sold through the AMC Mad Men website: http://www.amctv.com/shows/mad-men/merchandise.
It will soon be available on Amazon and shortly thereafter, there will be a wide retail release, said Lionsgate today, March 26.
“Zou Bisou Bisou” was originally recorded in 1961 by British actress and pop star Gillian Hills, who was discovered by French film director Roger Vadim and starred in the British film Beat Girl before making a brief but steamy appearance in Michelangelo Antonioni’s 1966 classic film Blow-Up.
