Jimjims Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Sorry, I dont find any vulgar in those lyrics, if you are spanish you'll know that the lyrics of Bisbal and Bustamenate are worse than this one by far and I only mentioned two singers but there're re lots of them. Even in this case he talks about sex Mika does it with classy.... I got mine :cheer: No, you are quite right to say that the lyrics are not especially and strangely obscene, and it is very true that other artists are worse, but I think that I am just not used to Mika singing this kind of stuff, although I absolutely love how the music sounds.

I started to think I was worse than usual! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiibet Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 There are several differences between vulgarity and funny lyrics. No rude word neither trashy phrases. It's a little bit like when you're with friends and speaking, joking about making love Boum boum boum is funny, fresh and free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'd like to sing the song and listen to it with with my 3 children (5, 8 and 10). Sure they would love it, like all other Mika's songs, but not sure I'd like to explain the lyrics! This time, I would have preferred it to be in English!!! So my décision is now not to listen to it with them... until we hear it on the radio and cannot avoid it! Everybody, has some of your kids already listened to it? What was their/your reaction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody, has some of your kids already listened to it? What was their/your reaction? My 11 year old girl is a little Mika fan. She loves the music of BoumBoumBoum. I gave her the MP3 to put it on her cell phone. I read the lyrics with her. I explained that it is a couple, they love each other and make love in a funny way and in funny places. She laughed. My son doesn't care so, he is not interested in Mika's songs. He knows that the song talks about making love, that's it. Making love is an act of love, it is not in a "hot" way, no details or something haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's always a way to naturally explain these issues to kids. Sex is a healthy, happy thing in an adult relationship. Children who are too young to understand don't much ask questions but when they start to ask questions they deserve answers. The younger the kid, the more simple (but still true) answers. I've always told whatever my kids want to know. My youngest was probably 5 when he wanted to now how gay couples can have children so I explained different options and he was happy with my answer. It's a bit embarrassing if a 3 yo sings boum boum boum, of course My youngest is now 10 and he learns French at school but the lyrics are still too difficult for him so I will shortly explain him that it's about making love (something like Lena just mentioned).

RayaBadran Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 (edited) Qu’importe l’endroit, le contexte On a toujours un bon prétexte Pour tomber nos « fruit of the loom » Quand toi et moi on fait boum boum boum Quand t’es pas là j’fais n’importe quoi J’prends des kilos, des tequilas Je chante les chansons d’Oum Kalthoum Je ne pense qu’à nos boum boum boum Et tous les bourgeois du 16ème se demandent pourquoi je t'aime Pour n'avoir pas besoin d'un zoom quand toi et moi on fait boum boum boum Boum boum, boum boum boum Boum boum, boum boum boum Boum boum, boum boum boum Boum boum Hier on était chez ta mère, elle a failli tomber par terre En entendant le dressing room quand toi et moi on faisait boum boum boum Dans les ascenseurs des hotels on s'est montés au 7ème ciel On envoie balader les grooms quand toi et moi on fait boum boum boum Et tous les bourgeois du 16ème se demandent pourquoi je t'aime Pour n'avoir pas besoin d'un zoom quand toi et moi on fait boum boum boum Boum boum, boum boum boum Boum boum, boum boum boum Boum boum, boum boum boum Boum boum Quand on reçoit des invités on ne sait meme pas résister entre le thé et les Lookoums y a le temps de faire boum boum boum C'est vrai que les murs ont des oreilles, que tous les voisins se réveillent mais c'est comme ça qu'on fait l'amour quand toi et moi on fait boum boum boum Et tous les bourgeois du 16ème se demandent pourquoi je t'aime Pour n'avoir pas besoin (I think this is what I heard also but obviously the stucture isn't really what is important... I think it sounds odd but this is the real thing he says) d'un zoom quand toi et moi on fait boum boum boum S'aimer comme ça, c'est pas vulgaire On a toujours un truc à faire, les étagères font badaboum Quand toi et moi on fait boum boum boum !

Léna Machu Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I think that it can be very helpful to start a joyful and relaxed lesson about sex. Very helpful! My children (10 and 11) know how it works ( biologically !) not in details but they know. I talk about "making love" with them and why lovers do that. I only talk about sex that way: lovers making love (a man with a woman or 2 men or 2 women). And I tell them that they will discover how it is wonderful to do it when they'll be with someone they love when they grow up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokesignal Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Why not? unless ofc we are talking about an elevator full of people That's the point: with an elevator you never know when it might fill up.
