I watched this video and I have a "feeling" that it's typical of a lot of her songs, that many people feel have a sexual meaning to them, but I think in a court of law, you'd have a tough time proving your case, but I'm guessing in some of her other songs, it would be a quick guilty as charged.
I've written before that it was said, she designed her own sex toy, then wrote a song about it (Sextonik). She even sold vibrators at one of her concerts.There's no doubt she uses sex to sell.
Now garconcanadien who was mentioned earlier if memory serves me correctly obviously was from Canada and I believe he was a medical student and I believe he was fluent in French though I'm far from certain on that. He at the time, made a post that had "interpretations" of many of Alizee's early songs made by Anthony. I don't remember much about Anthony so I don't know how qualified he was to do interpretations, but I think if garcon.... was posting his interpretations, they may have been credible.
Now in this post that had several interpretations, the song J'en ai marre was listed, but it was mentioned that this was R rated and it was not by Anthony. It didn't say if it was garcon's interpretation or someone else's.
It's a very controversial interpretation. I wont even post a link to it because even with my limited French, I feel that it could be way off base. I think members if they so choose should look for it and realize it is the view of some people, but I think this "forum" does not want it reposted.
I've seen different interpretations of this song and all I'm going to say at this point is I'm fairly certain there was no gold fish in the tub with her.
Now depending upon what version of Alizée 101 you've read, Alizée knew of the general sexual meaning of some of these song, but it's been said Jeremy came along and explained to her the deeper meanings of a song such as this interpretation of jam and this was "one" thing that led to her decision to leave MF. I have no idea if that's true, but it would kind of explain what seemed to be a sudden decision to leave MF when it was rumored Amelie would be the next single.
As I mentioned in another thread, I've spoken in person with RMJ when I met him a couple times in Europe. I have issues with him but he is very knowledgeable about Alizée. He was of the opinion that she was upset with MF and one of the reasons for the long absence after the concerts, was that she was actually under contract to do 3 albums with MF and the only way to get out of it was to wait so many years.
Moi Lolita is another controversial song and not so much for the original story which Alizée and her family knew was of a sexual nature, but for some of the lyrics which seemed to have been cleansed by so many translations of the lyrics into English and I'd like to bring attention to the lines...
Et quand je donne ma longue aux chats
A line which I've read can have a very innocent meaning, but remember this was MF writing the lyrics and the controversy was in what you interpreted "chats" to mean.
Quand je reve aux loups, c'est Lola qui saigne.
That's something that I think is relatively easy to interpret, but it seems so many sites that offer you English lyrics of the song, get it wrong.
There was also a member in here who was from Montreal. He was fluent in French. It seemed his main goal in here is he wanted to discuss the sexual meaning he thought was present in just about all her songs. We talked many times via pm. I discussed in the moderators forum that he wanted to be able to discuss this in the forum, but it was the view of the mods, that we had a lot of younger members and for that reason it was decided not to have a thread about that topic. It was discussed also if maybe there might be a way for members to discuss this in a private way, but that didn't seem doable, so it was dropped.
Now I'm assuming this is still a policy of this forum. We have to be careful what we discuss. I encourage members, at least adult members to do research, to know what's out there, but I'm sure "we" will still limit what is said in here, especially where so much of this is subject to interpretation.
