Big Cohens big gay boatride for 11 year olds.

Older woman singing French to me in a whispery, playful, girl voice... rendre heureux this old man. :)

(She could be reciting the Montreal phone book, for all I care).

However, let us go easy on the innuendo, english or otherwise, oui?

[Big King Sanctaphrax]

I have no idea who that is, but she needs to move over.

I do wish that more British female singers would adopt her 'taking her clothes off' video dynamic, however.

It's so funny that you should come up with Alizée here. 'She' is Mylène Farmer, a huge artist here, for some twenty years. By coincidence, she and Laurent Boutonnat write and produce all the songs of Alizée.

Alizée is impossibly beautiful, but she's also the pretty face Mylène needed as one of her projects. In your video, Alizée innocently sings about taking a nice hot bath, playing with her little fish a bit.
Mylène on the other hand released a music video of herself fully naked having a lesbian threesome in a bathtub.

I do wish that more British female singers would adopt her 'taking her clothes off' video dynamic, however.

Oh, if only Kukri wouldn't be keeping such a close watch I would so link to that bathtub orgy for you.

I'll suffice with hinting at that fish Alizée sings about in your video. Just like poor innocent Alizée, I'll let you guess what double-meaning Mylène had in mind when she made Alizée sing about being playful with her 'poisson'. The whole song is both childlike innocent and outrageously obscene. (hey don't ban me, I didn't link to it...)

Ah, Mylène Farmer is the greatest post-feminist poet alive.

At least now you know why Alizée has that goldfish embroided on her behind in your video, and why she sensually wiggles about so much when she turns around to show it.

[Pannonian]

For the benefit for English monolinguists who may wish to learn French, here are some translations of Alizee's songs, complete with the original paroles plus footnotes on where the translater had to choose between literal or interpretive translations. A worthy academic project, I must say.

It was said it couldn't be done. It was said it shouldn't be tried. People laughed. People scorned. People quit. I quit. But no song will ever get the best of me!

So I present to you what I think is the definitive Moi...Lolita translation.

What's common sense is that we trust people less who are different from us. If you disagree with this statement, you simply haven't gotten around enough.

Whenever you're in a situation where you don't fit in, sometimes it's their fault, sometimes it's your fault, but either way you have to deal with it. A victim's attitude is a losing attitude, except in court.

[Ser Clegane]

There is quite a difference between saying that it is common sense (actually "common knowledge" would be the term that would be applicable in this context) that people put less trust into people who are different, and saying that it is common sense that a specific group is untrustworthy.

The first describes the current situation, the latter justifies it.

Apart from that I would rather say that generally not trusting anybody who is different is an indication that you "haven't gotten around enough" to be more open-minded towards people who are "different"

In four years since high school I've spent total one outside the country and one in San Francisco. I speak Spanish and Arabic fluently, not in the American sense, but rather in the European sense, which means I actually can and do use them regularly. But this isn't a dick-measuring contest so really I've got nothing else to say.
