"Poupée psychédélique" (transl. French for "Psychedelic Doll") is a 1990 pop song recorded by French singer Thierry Hazard. Written and composed by Hazard, it was released in December 1990 as the second single from his debut album Pop Music, after being unsuccessfully released a first time two years earlier. It became one of the major hits of 1991 in France, reaching nearly the same level of success as "Le Jerk !", the previous single. Part of the music video consists of an old-fashioned animated cartoon recalling the 60s.
In France, "Poupée psychédélique" debuted at number 47 on the chart edition of 5 January 1991, climbed regularly and entered the top ten in its seven-week. It reached its highest position, number two, in its 14th week, being however unable to dethrone Scorpions's massive hit "Wind of Change"; then it remained for 14 weeks in the top ten and 23 weeks in the top 50.[1] In 1991, it earned a Gold disc, awarded by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique, the French certificator.[2] On the European Hot 100 Singles, "Poupée psychédélique" debuted at number 72 on 23 February 1991, reached a peak of number 18 in the eighth week,[3] and fell off the top 100 after 17 weeks of presence. It ranked at number 77 on the year-end chart.[4]
