Hey guys. I 'd given this song a lot of thought, because it's got at least a dozen obscure literary references in it. (At least, they're pretty obscure for us, I don't know yet if the French just automatically "get it".) Somebody in France asked if I thought Alizee's newest music would appeal to American tastes, and I'm still working out my answer... It's gettin pretty anal. I mean, analytical.
Anyway, Al et Simone, by consensus appears to mean Camus and DeBeauvoir. Over the brambles, I think, probably connects to Uncle Remus' "Don't throw me in the brairpatch" story.
And I personally think the "Granny Pomme" thing refers to Rene Magritte's paintings, and the shape of Paris when viewed on a map... Although this forum had earlier decided the song's about NYC (the big apple), I disagree there.
