This is yet another song I got to know while listening to reel-to-reel tapes my father recorded off of the radio in the 1970s. We listened to those tapes back when I was a child and this one, sung by French singer Georgette Plana, really stood out to me because of her distinctive voice. I cannot describe the sound of her voice, but you may check it out yourself by looking up the original song if you don't already know it. Anyway, it was only when I grew up and understood what she was singing that I realized the song is about a girl they hired out of Java to serve as a prostitute entertaining people in France and the girl's horrible feelings about that.
