We used to have a member here who was from Quebec and knew the French language very well. He said pretty much the same thing that every song on those first two albums had a sexual connotation and considering the songs were written by Mylene Farmer, that wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I'm sure Alizée was aware of some of it, but I think there is a lot she wasn't aware of. Rumors back then and I stress 'rumors' were Alizee's deciding to leave MF/LB was partly because she found out what those other meanings were.

But we will only go so far in what we'll allow to be discussed in here. If you want to discuss it in pm, be my guest.

Hi Edsel, welcome to the forum!

I think Scruffy fielded your question nicely. I think people tend to hear what they want to hear out of any lyrics. Alizee even said there was a meaning for children and a meaning for adults. I've read translations for many of the songs. Hey! Amigo! does not strike me as a sexually charged song, but you know there are people who would interpret every line that way. I just choose not to overanalyze it to that point and just enjoy the music.

Well, if you know more than 20 French words, you are further along than I am!

You will notice that we abbreviate song names a lot also. J'en ai marre is often referred to as just JEM.

Totally optional, but there is a thread entitled "How did you discover Alizee?" that a lot of new members post their story. It's a good way that new members can give some background information. If the mood strikes you, you can find the thread here:

Cool

I don't know, maybe a little double-barreled thing...

I focus and in general I have had time to focus on Alizée’s amazing sexiness, which she exudes in her performances!! And fortunately those moments are many!!

But that even the lyrics of the song offer it... Well that's (pretty) obvious, even if you don't always know about those French!?

I think it’s actually a pretty good thing, everyone can decide how they want to interpret the songs... Doesn’t that just prove that they are good songs!
