Hardy signed her first contract with the record label Vogue in November 1961. In April 1962, shortly after finishing school, her first album, "Oh oh Chéri", appeared, with the title song written by Johnny Hallyday's writing duo. The flip side of the record, "Tous les garçons et les filles" became a huge success, which sold 2 million copies. She had long hair and usually wore jeans with a leather jacket, while accompanying her songs on the guitar.
She sang in English, Spanish, and German occasionally. In 1963, she represented Monaco in the Grand Prix d'Eurovision de la Chanson with "L'amour s'en va" and emerged in fifth place. In 1968, she received the Grand Prix du Disque Académie Charles Cros.
In 1981, she married her long-time companion Jacques Dutronc, with whom she had already had a son (Thomas Dutronc) in 1973. In May 2000, she had a comeback with the album "Clair Obscur". Her son played the guitar, and her husband sang the duet "Puisque vous partez en voyage". Iggy Pop and Etienne Daho participated, as well. She currently lives near Paris.
In 2006 she released a new duets album entitled "Parenthèses" which included a song with her son Thomas.
In 2021, Hardy announced that her health had worsened and that she would not be able to sing again owing to the effects of cancer therapy.
Oh oh Chéri
Françoise Hardy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oui, j'aime tout ce que tu fais
Oh, oh, même quand tu fais rien
Moi, ca me plaît
Je suis au ciel dès que j'entends ta voix
Et lorsque tu me regardes comme ca
Oh, oh, oh, oui
J'ai chaud, j'ai froid
Oh, oh, chéri
Oui, j'aime tout ce que tu fais
Oh, oh, même quand tu te fâches
Moi, ca me plaît
La colère te va très bien, ma foi
Et lorsque tu passes tes nerfs sur moi
Oh, oui, c'est étrange, mais c'est comme ca
J'ai chaud, j'ai froid
Oh, oh, chéri
Oui, j'aime tout ce que tu fais
Oh, oh, toi seul me produit cet effet
Tu peux danser même en pyjama
Tu as de la classe et te voir comme ca
Oh, oui, je suis dans tous mes états
J'ai chaud, j'ai froid
Oh, oh, chéri
Oui, j'aime tout ce que tu fais
Oh, oh, car tout ce que tu fais est parfait
Quand tu m'embrasses j'ai des frissons
Et tu m'enlaces d'une telle façon
Oh oui, que chaque fois, crénom de nom !
J'ai chaud, j'ai froid
Oh, oh, chéri
In this song, Françoise Hardy expresses her undying love for her partner. She tells him that she loves everything he does, even when he does nothing, and that it pleases her. The sound of his voice takes her to heaven, and the way he looks at her makes her feel both hot and cold at the same time. The line "j'ai chaud, j'ai froid" is a common French expression used to describe the feeling of being torn between two emotions or sensations.
Françoise Hardy also says that she likes it when he gets angry and takes it out on her. She finds it strange, but it turns her on. She finds him classy and even dancing in pajamas makes her feel hot and cold. When he kisses her or holds her close, she gets shivers down her spine and feels both hot and cold. She can't help but love everything he does, as it's all perfect in her eyes.
The song is a celebration of passion and desire, and how someone can make you feel so many different emotions at once. It's a love song that captures the intensity of being in love and how it can make you feel both physically and emotionally.

@thefather32
agreed. I just found her music by accident and cannot stop listening - all her songs are so beautiful!!
@sigurdolsen3653
do you still listen to her music?
@Pteromandias
@@sigurdolsen3653 Hey I just discovered her music a few days ago. I'm still listening. In fact, I found out she's still making music. Which is unusual. Usually I find a new (new to me) artist and find out they have passed away or the group is no longer around.
@davidbarnett9312
Heard her singing on German radio when I was stationed in Bremerhaven, West Germany from 63 to 66. It was love at first sight.
@peterrees6335
She's just brilliant.
@macstrong1284

@goofymode8205

@BorsosGabor2023
Then why are you courting that chubby Mexican chick?! 😱
@Weirdchicken04
I'm a metalhead and I don't understand a word but it's gorgeous.
