Poupée de cire, poupée de son was the winning song for Luxembourg by French singer France Gall, then a teenager.

The lyrics have a lot of double meanings. Poupée de cire, poupée de son can be translated as wax doll, sawdust doll. Mindless, boneless. There’s irony in the implications about being a puppet as France Gall was just a teenager.

Sorry Jerry Kilimnik I don’t have a link to the dubstep version. Misha Belle I’ll update if I find a cool remix, but I like the original as-is.
