Gaultier made a stylized bow to the East as well, but his heavy personal stamp all but obliterated his source material. Disdaining the Louvre, he rented a steaming cellar on the Champs-Elysees, and it was packed with fans who relish his theatrics at least as much as his clothes. The outfits were a tantalizing mix of the shrewd and salable and the ridiculous, and this season's leading outrage was a bodysuit opened all the way down the rear.

RCA Records pressed a single of it the next day. After that, performers strained to put their personal stamp on the anthem: Lou Rawls (languorous jazz), Aretha Franklin (Motown), Al Hirt (Dixieland) and Frank Sinatra (moody lounge lizard).
