Following last night’s Mad Men premiere, the Internet mirrored the offices of Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce in its dissection of Megan’s surprise burlesque serenade for Don Draper—a bit of social media gossip that quickly transformed the song “Zou Bisou Bisou” into a trending topic, and lit up Twitter with demonstrations of appreciation for Megan that were only slightly more restrained than Harry Crane’s. Cleverly, AMC predicted that watching a leggy brunette perform an erotic rendition of a maddeningly catchy French pop song might resonate with viewers: Today it’s released “Zou Bisou Bisou” as both a digital download and limited-edition vinyl single, so fans can relive the sounds of Jessica Paré cooing Gillian Hill’s yé-yé version of the Sophia Loren song, potentially embarrass their own spouses with their uncomfortable affections in front of the coworkers they’ve worked so hard to keep at an emotional arm’s length, then resolve everything with a spite-filled S&M housecleaning session. Regrettably, AMC has yet to announce plans for a vinyl release of “The Sounds Of Don Draper Shaving,” so you’ll have to settle for bootlegs.
