Music to Shag By is an impressive budget collection of breezy '60s pop and soul, with an irresistible cast including Serge Gainsbourg ("Je T'Aime...Moi Non Plus"), Jack Jones ("Wives and Lovers"), the Turtles ("You Showed Me"), Dusty Springfield ("The Look of Love"), the Troggs ("Love Is All Around"), and Tom Jones ("Without Love There Is Nothing").
