In the original song, based off a poem penned by infamous outlaw Bonnie Parker herself, the elder Gainsbourg paired up with another blonde bombshell of the day, French actress Brigitte Bardot back in 1968. So, this latest duo seems a perfect match.
The only notable change aside from the latest version's apparently softer tone is that Johansson sings her parts in English, while Gainsbourg sticks with French. But this is not the first time Johansson has hit the recording studio. She also released an entire album of Tom Waits covers back in 2008.
