"Bonnie and Clyde" is a 1968 French-language song written by Serge Gainsbourg, and performed by Gainsbourg and Brigitte Bardot. The song tells the story of the outlaw couple Bonnie and Clyde. It is based on an English language poem written by Bonnie Parker herself a few weeks before she and Clyde Barrow were shot, entitled "The Trail's End". It was released on two albums in 1968: Gainsbourg's album Initials B.B., and Gainsbourg and Bardot's album Bonnie and Clyde.[1]
Luna (with Lætitia Sadier of Stereolab on vocals) covered it for Luna's album Penthouse (1995). The song was later released as a single subtitled "the Clyde Barrow version" with a slower version subtitled "the Bonnie Parker version".[2]
Matthew Herbert remixed the song subtitled "Herbert's Fred & Ginger Mix" for the tribute album I Love Serge (2001). The remix would also appear on the Zero 7 album Another Late Night: Zero 7 (2002).
