Rock Around the Bunker purportedly looks back at Gainsbourg's experiences as a Jewish youth growing up in Nazi-occupied France. But it maybe that Gainsbourg's real intent in releasing Rock Around the Bunker was to mock both the "Nazi chic" of the era, as personified by the film "The Night Porter" and David Bowie's outrageous statements about wanting to become a fascist dictator, as well as the fifties rock'n'roll revival. Nazism and "Rock Around the Clock" may be an odd couple to satirize, but Gainsbourg was an odd guy. And in creating Rock Around the Bunker, the singer managed to produce an LP whose only real antecedents are The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the imaginary play Springtime for Hitler from Mel Brooks' The Producers.
