Here’s another pretty English girl on a bike, this time it’s Marianne Faithfull in the kitschy 60s sexploitation movie “Girl On A Motorcycle” which I saw when I was a kid late one night on BBC2 and will never forget because it was one of the first times I ever saw a naked woman (one who was actually moving, that is.) I’m watching this pretty blond lady in skin-tight leathers (Marianne) cavorting with this French bloke (Alain Delon), getting more and more saucy, he’s unzipping her with his teeth, and then — blimey! — there they were: knockers! (that’s what we called them back then.) I can’t remember how old I was at the time, old enough to be interested in what I was seeing, but young enough to get very flustered, turn bright red and forget to breath for quite a while.

I haven’t see the movie since, I’ve read that it’s no good but who cares? This song is nothing to do with it but it’s still bloody great.

Bonus: Here’s the wonderful trailer for the movie. “Now you know the thrill of wrapping your legs around a tornado of pistons.” Oooh, missus.

The poster is pretty great too.
