Charlotte Julian ‎– Bazooka Boum Boum (La Reine Des Punks) - Sonopresse ‎– 2S 008-16605 - 1978

Not satisfied with a mere safety pin earring, Charlotte Julian also had to be pictured with them in her hair. Who are we to judge? The song title declares her the queen of punks. It seems that the lyrics tell a rags to rhinestones story of a poor girl being transformed into a punk rock singer by a rich impresario. She's instructed to be nasty and scream when she sings, and she's dressed up in pretty safety pins, but then the story takes a turn:

I sang in the capitals,
And I made all casinos
With my rhinestone with my feathers
Charleroi in Pamplona.
Everywhere crowds, frantic.
But when I asked for my money,
The impresario said, Pardonk?
We do not pay the queen of "ponks."
