"Poupée de cire, poupée de son" (; English: "Wax doll, rag doll") is a song written by Serge Gainsbourg and recorded by French singer France Gall. It is best known as the Luxembourgian winning entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1965, held in Naples. The song was inspired by the 4th movement (Prestissimo in F minor) from Beethoven's '' Piano Sonata No. 1''.
