Jane Birkin/Serge Gainsbourg is an album featuring duets and solo performances by Jane Birkin and her lover, Serge Gainsbourg. It was released in 1969 and included the worldwide hit Je t'aime... moi non plus, which achieved its fame for its salacious lyrics against a background of female moaning and groaning, culminating in an orgasm at the song's conclusion (this led to rumours that it is the result of the couple actually engaging in sex during the recording of the song – although it hardly would be possible to record a song that way).
