Poupée psychédélique

"Poupée psychédélique" is a 1990 pop song recorded by French singer Thierry Hazard. Written and composed by Hazard, it was released in December 1990 as the second single from his debut album Pop Music, after being unsuccessfully released a first time two years earlier. It became one of the major hits of 1991 in France, reaching nearly the same level of success as "Le Jerk !", the previous single. Part of the music video consists of an old-fashioned animated cartoon recalling the 60s.
