Play "Who's In My Box?" With Moviedom's Brigitte Bardot!

Oh Gaaahd - my heart just stopped. Give me a minute.
Ooh la la! I can't think of anything else to say. Nor could any other person of the male persuasion on getting an eyeful of this tomato, who single-handedly [perhaps not the best phrase in this context? - Ed.] did for France what smelly cheese and table wine [alcoholic beverage made from furniture - Ed.] had failed to do since the dawn of time - made the country sexy. Before Brigitte Bardot, French dames were famous for being religious screwballs (Joan of Arc, the Broad of Lourdes etc.), and not using soap.

 So I was thrilled when the young B.B. volunteered to play Who's In My Box? for th' Isle O' Foam©. "I am, 'ow you say, ze beeg fan of Meester Trocquemontaine an' ze Quat' Ou Cinq Mecs!" she giggled yesterday. "Zanque 'eaven for old mairns wiz zair 'airy nostril an' big ear!"

 The rules? Why - they're simplicity itself! Themselves! Whatevs! Using your skill and judgement, identify the single track in the download link and tells us Who's In B.B.'s Box!

EDIT: Curt Newbury was hiding in B.B.'s box, as a couple of th' Four Or
Five Guys© grokked. Newbury was the son of Otis Newbury, the "Shoe-Lift King" of Caddo Parish, Shreveport, who claimed to have added over one thousand miles in increased height to the citizens of America.

    You had me at "Trocquemontaine," actually even sooner. The
    track creeped me out so much that I ended up liking it. I'd
    never heard of the singer before; but, just as Iggy Pop
    would say, "Look out, honey, 'cause I'm using technology."
    If nobody ends up answering correctly based on first-hand
    knowledge (and/or well-founded inference) I can post a link
    that'll square it all away.

      That's some scary technology you got there, Crabster! See if it recognizes this:

      "My name'sh Bond. Jamesh Bond."

    No idea who this is, never heard it before and I think it's totally unfair of Farq to do this. I demand Farq ceases his discrimination against us ignoramuses.....Hang on, is ignoramus Latin? If so should it be ignoramusi? No, that can't be right either, .....ignorami? No, that sounds like someone who doesn't know how to fold paper. Oh, FOUR ASTERISKS!!!! (Wanders off mumbling incoherently to himself......)

      Never heard of them either....By the way I looked up 'ignoramus' in my copy of the (Compact) OED - free gift in the 70s for joining a book club - and yes, it does come from the Latin, but it's a verb form, not a noun, so 'ignoramuses' is correct. Interestingly the first quote in the OED showing its use comes from 1577, by Sir T. Smith, nonetheless (shrugs shoulders, don't ask me), who writes "If they doe not hold it to be true, they write on the backside 'ignoramus'" I've now twisted my back trying to look in the sodding mirror......

    I used to think BB was ambidextrous, was I wrong in this?

    Alright, well it's not 'Rambling Syd Rumpo' and I'm fairly certain it's no 'Kenneth Williams', so I'm guessing it's 'Tony Quaver and the Vibrattos'?

    No idea who this is, at first I thought it was Noel Harrison

    Be that as it may....

    A flea wanted to take a vacation, someplace sunny. His travel agent sent him to Cannes in Ringo Starr's hair. The flea was dissatisfied and went back to the travel agent. Next, the flea went to Monte Carlo in Omar Sharif's mustache. The flea wasn't happy because Sharif was inside playing Bridge and the flea wanted to be out in the sun. After that, the travel agent suggested that the flea go to Nice in Brigitte Bardot's muff. The flea goes back to the travel agent. The travel agent wants to know what's wrong. The flea said the vacation was great with Bardot, but he was disturbed because three days later he found himself back in Omar Sharif's mustache.

      The new employee at Le Sex Shoppe had just been shown the basics of running the store when the manager asks him "Do you think you can manage things while I step out for a coffee"?
      Of course!!!
      In the blink of an eye, a lady enters the store and browses a moment then asks "How much are these white dildos"?
      Oh, those are $18.00!
      So she buys one and leaves. Then a second lady comes into the store..."How much are these black dildos"?
      Oh, those are $23.00!
      She buys one and exits. Then a third lady comes in and inquires "How much for that plaid dildo"?
      Oh, that one is $35.00!
      She buys it and leaves. A minute later, the manager returns and asks "How did it go...everything all right"?
      The new employee replies "Oh, yeah! I sold a white dildo for $18.00...a black one for $23.00 and, I sold your thermos for $35.00"!

      Dame goes into pet shop, sez "why is this mutt a thousand bucks?"
      Owner sez, "on account which Fido here is trained to satisfy the ladies in a intimate manner." Dame evinces interest, but balks at price. "Would madam like a demonstration? Satisfaction guaranteed." Dame sez, "well, okay". In the back room, dame lies on the floor with her legs apart. Owner sez, "go to it, Fido!" Mutt does nothing. Owner repeats command to same effect. "You dumb mutt!" he sez, kneeling between the dame's legs, "this is the last time I'm showin' yez!"

      A woman wanders into a tattoo parlor and instructs the artiste to execute two portraits, one on each inner thigh. She wants Robert Redford on her left thigh and Paul Newman on her right. The tattooist gets to it, and an hour later tells his client to sit up and take a look at his handiwork. She takes one horrified glance and says, likenesses they ain't. He protests, arguing they're indeed accurate portraits of the two Hollywood icons. Just then, a drunk happens to be stumbling by the tattoo parlor, and the proprietor pulls him in to adjudicate the controversy. Presented with the question of the portraits' accuracy, the drunk says, "I don't know who the two assholes on the left and right are, but the dude in the middle—that's Willie Nelson!"

      I find it encouraging that here on Th' Isle O' Foam© the delicate bloom of the after-dinner anecdote is still in full flower!

    I have Curt's Mosaic box set which had a limited release of 28 in May of 1970. BB must have picked up one of the other 27 copies.
