“Mad Men” actress Jessica Pare has a new gig — overnight pop performer!
Her sexy version of “Zou Bisou Bisou,” aired on last night’s “Mad Men” season premiere, hit the iTunes store today and turning into a big YouTube sensation following her saucy rendition of the 1960s song.
Pare did an enticing, burlesque performance for her on-screen husband Don Draper, played by John Hamm.
The mysterious ad man grinned his way through an unwanted surprise 40th birthday party when he was treated to the sexy song.
“Zou Bisou Bisou,” which roughly means “Oh! Kiss Kiss!” was originally recorded by Gillian Hills in 1961.
“Zou Bisou Bisou” was also one of the top 10 trending topics among New York City Twitter users on Monday afternoon.
Sophia Loren performed an English version of the hit for the 1960 movie “The Millionairess.”
Hills said she was delighted that “Mad Men” revived the early 60s song.
“Excited? Yes, thrilled,” Hills said in an e-mail to The Post. “The performance was adorable! Whoever does research for `Mad Men’ is good at the job.”
Hills said she hopes Pare gets more than just 15 minutes of fame from this performance.
“Don Draper’s wife performs the song with great charm, and a delightful sense of humor,” she said. “I wish her well.”
Meanwhile, AMC said Sunday night’s two-hour premiere drew record ratings, making it the most watched episode ever from the series.
The cable channel said from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., the show drew 3.5 million viewers — up a staggering 21 percent from the Season 4 premiere.
TV audiences had been kept waiting for 17 months after “Mad Men” aired its fourth-season finale way back in October 2010.
AMC has been riding high these days.
Last month, USA Today reported that the second season of “The Walking Dead” returned to the airwaves with a whopping 8.1 million viewers, a new record rating for the show.
