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. |

bad thing

Actually, so I think there was some difference between the March 1, 2003 performance and the Eurobest performance on this hand-gesture detail. Perhaps the dance evolved throughout its history. Maybe someone would be willing to take on a research project to examine all the videos and catalogue the changes. Can you imagine the title of the resulting writeup? Maybe "Evolution of Feminine Onanistic Innuendo in Contemporary Pop Music Choreography: A Case Study"...?
