Sorry.
But Mylène wrote the lyrics, I didn't.
Anyway, one should not confuse innocence with asexuality. In her performances, Alizée is a pagan at heart, at times quite strongly erotic, but innocent of any malice or crudity. She may well be that way as a person, too -- there are some indications. Why, aside from the lingering poisonous residue of puritanism, do we think that a person must not exist from the waist down in order to be innocent and pure?
There is nothing
wrong with the double meaning of this song. If it had been treated more blatantly, it would have been kind of gross, but that would have been an aesthetic flaw, not a moral one. And in fact it was not treated blatantly; it's subtle, titillating, and nicely spicy. Very good work by both Mylène and Alizée.
