"If we played the game of exquisite corpse – Just to pass the time – You write any word – And I write another one after you."

In preparation for his anthology published by Denoël, Mon propre rôle , Serge Gainsbourg revisited, annotated and validated the proofs of his song Le cadavre exquis written in 1975 for the B-side of the 45 rpm record L'Ami Caouette .

There is no doubt that his love for the Dadaist and Surrealist movements inspired and invited the artist to write about this mythical game.

If we were to play the game of exquisite corpse

Just to help pass the time and pass the time a little

You write a word, anything

And I'll write another one after you

The little shit fly

He doubled his efforts

There are kicks that go to waste

In rubles

Yes, that's the exquisite corpse game

We're going to play it all night

Emmanuelle likes being petted

Oral and manual

Shake your butt a little

She told me

I prefer playing the exquisite corpse game

Rather than putting it on all night

Black humor comes from Africa

Example: Amin Dada

I'm magnetic tape

For him

OK
