"Les Sucettes" song (from French "the lollipops") is one of France Gall's most important hits along with "Poupée de Cire, Poupée de Son", both written by Serge Gainsbourg. The 1966 single proved a great success and became a classic in French pop music. Gall's innocent performance failed to catch the erotic subtext of the lyrics, which could be either interpreted as a children's song about a girl who loves aniseed-flavored lollipops, or a humorous double entendre about oral sex.

Reportedly, 18-year-old Gall was upset upon learning this, leading to the ending of the successful partnership.

Les Sucettes established a new trend for erotic double entendres in pop music.
