Je t’aime (moi non plus)…


I love it when I discover that a music has been ‘inspired’ by another. And a very famous song no less. it's like catching someone in the act of stealing. I wish I could point fingers. check it out:
‘Je t’aime, moi non plus’ (Gainsbourg) and Chopin’s bolero… the two are almost identical!
Particularly: 'Je vais et je viens, entre tes reins' is directly out of the Bolero!
Am I the first one to see it? I wonder.

see! see!
(I read more about it after posting this and some say that gainsbourg was actually inspired by Chopin, Bach and mozart, and that Lemon Incest was after an etude from Chopin... but no one mentions this one!)
