Histoire de Melody Nelson is a 1971 concept album by French songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. Produced by Jean-Claude Desmarty, the album was released on March 24, 1971 through Philips Records. The Lolita-esque cal plot of the album involves the middle-aged Gainsbourg unintentionally colliding his Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost into teenage girl Melody Nelson's bicycle, and the subsequent seduction and romance that ensues

Serge Gainsbourg had no great attachment to genre. By the time he came to rock music, in his early 40s, the French star had traced his oblique, provocative course through chanson (French vocal music), jazz, and light pop. He'd made percussive café jams about suicide and given Eurovision popstrels France Gall and Françoise Hardy songs full of blowjob puns. Later on he'd make a rock'n'roll album about the Nazis and a reggae take on the French national anthem  . Like a lot of 1971 records, Histoire de Melody Nelson is a concept album: Unlike most, it's only 28 minutes long. The songs are lavishly orchestrated, yet the dominant instrument isn't guitar or organ but rather Herbie Flowers' lascivious, treacly bass, playing a seedy, rambling take on funk.

Histoire de Melody Nelson est un album de Serge Gainsbourg paru en 1971. C'est son premier album-concept. Il a été écrit en collaboration avec le compositeur et arrangeur Jean-Claude Vannier. Gainsbourg construit cet album autour d'un récit, et d'une femme, sa muse, Jane Birkin, qui prête succinctement son image et sa voix au personnage éponyme, se contentant de décliner son nom dans Melody, Ballade de Melody Nelson et Cargo culte, et n'émettant que quelques rires et petits cris équivoques dans En Melody.

You don't need to speak a word of French to understand Histoire de Melody Nelson - one needs only to look at the front cover (with its nearly pornographic portrait of a half-naked nymphet clutching a rag doll) or hear the lechery virtually dripping from Serge Gainsbourg's sleazily seductive voice to realize that this is the record your mother.

Just near twenty-eight minutes long, Histoire de Melody Nelson almost isn’t even an album. The seven tracks are a split between orchestral divergences, sultry funk, spoken word folk, french pop and manage to stay very tightly focused. Indeed, the focus is so compacted as one can immediately get the feeling that nothing else was needed. Melody - Opens sparsely, a relaxing beat and Gainsbourg’s almost spoken word delivery. His delivery is perhaps the most evocative part of the entire album, giving a feel for the story even when the listener cannot comprehend, changing to find or fit the mood. The work on the album feels less an exhibit of the gracious explosions of sound but more a venue for the voice of Gainsbourg, a voice that can slide from sly to sensual to sleazy in a matter of words.
