Love on the Beat is a 1984 album by French singer and songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. On this album, Gainsbourg tried his hand at the electronic new-wave movement, ripe with synthesizers, which were heavily popular at the time. The album was controversial due to its very sexual lyrical content, with gay prostitution as the subject matter on many of the tracks. Perhaps most controversial was "Lemon Incest", which was set to Frédéric Chopin's Étude No. 3 and sung as a duet with his then-12-year-old daughter Charlotte Gainsbourg.
