Artist:  Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin
Song:  Jane B.
Year:  1969
Album:  Jane Birkin - Serge Gainsbourg



Whether it's Serge Gainsbourg, Michel Legrand or Franck Pourcel, France has produced a lot of great music.  This tune was also sampled by DJ Revolution for "The Backbone" (featuring Toronto's own Kardinal Offishall and Choclair).

Meyhem Lauren used the 4 bars between 0:00 and 0:13, alternating between looping 1 bar, 2 bars or all 4 bars.
