Comme Un Garçon
"Comme un garçon" () is a song by Sylvie Vartan from her 1967 album ''Comme un garçon''. It was also released on an EP and as a single. Composition The song was written in 1967 when the Sexual Revolution in France was at its height: women wore mini-skirts and trousers and the Neuwirth Law was adopted, authorizing contraception. Also, as Gérard Tilles and Françoise Gründ Khaznadar note in their book ''Hair: Sign and Signification'', the lyrics of the song ("Just like a boy, I wear my hair long") refer to the "long hair revolution" of the 1960s: boys started to look like girls, "who, in their turn, idn'tmiss the opportunity to pass for boys by adopting the same haircuts". In this song Vartan, an attractive yé-yé star, shows her tomboy side as a "gang leader" who wears trousers and a belt with a large buckle, and rides a Harley-Davidson motorcycle (like Brigitte Bardot): "Just like a boy, I wear a jacket, a medallion, a big buckle elt, "Just like a boy, I am stubborn.

Gramophone Record
A phonograph record (also known as a gramophone record, especially in British English), or simply a record, is an analog sound storage medium in the form of a flat disc with an inscribed, modulated spiral groove. The groove usually starts near the periphery and ends near the center of the disc. At first, the discs were commonly made from shellac, with earlier records having a fine abrasive filler mixed in. Starting in the 1940s polyvinyl chloride became common, hence the name vinyl. The phonograph record was the primary medium used for music reproduction throughout the 20th century. It had co-existed with the phonograph cylinder from the late 1880s and had effectively superseded it by around 1912. Records retained the largest market share even when new formats such as the compact cassette were mass-marketed. By the 1980s, digital media, in the form of the compact disc, had gained a larger market share, and the record left the mainstream in 1991. Since the 1990s, records con ...

Nightclub
A nightclub (music club, discothèque, disco club, or simply club) is an entertainment venue during nighttime comprising a dance floor, lightshow, and a stage for live music or a disc jockey (DJ) who plays recorded music. Nightclubs generally restrict access to people in terms of age, attire, personal belongings, and inappropriate behaviors. Nightclubs typically have dress codes to prohibit people wearing informal, indecent, offensive, or gang-related attire from entering. Unlike other entertainment venues, nightclubs are more likely to use bouncers to screen prospective patrons for entry. The busiest nights for a nightclub are Friday and Saturday nights. Most nightclubs cater to a particular music genre or sound for branding effects. Some nightclubs may offer food and beverages (including alcoholic beverages).
