The song is a cover of a 1961 track by the French group Les Chats Sauvages, written by Andre Salvet, Guy Lafitte and Martial Solal, who weren't in the band and I don't know who they were/are. I remember this record from when I was 14/15 and I remember finding the video in particular to be absolutely dazzling:
It was funny and preposterous in equal measure and I loved (love) that. Listening to it in the car I note also there is a percussion sound which bounces around the stereo spectrum in a highly amusing manner. Well done, everybody.
