cathouzouf Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I really like the snippet... But I'm laughing all alone because it reminds me of Bambam from the Flinstones, who was called Boum boum in the French version:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krysady Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Thank you girls!! Now I understand the meaning of the song He's pretty obsessed by Boum Boum and Bang Bang lately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellenowl Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 It's awful! I don't mind French songs, but this is mainstream rubbish, not the Mika we knew. The single looks and maybe sounds a little on the obscene side too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The single looks and maybe sounds a little on the obscene side too... Agree about it being mainstream, but not rubbish But for me, mainstream is ok for a summer single, intended to bring new fans from The Voice to his music. And about obscene, don't you know that Mika, as well as us French people, is obscene? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiibet Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Agree about it being mainstream, but not rubbish But for me, mainstream is ok for a summer single, intended to bring new fans from The Voice to his music. That's exactly what I was thinking. I was hoping it to be something catchy and summery and it sounds like that. And about obscene, don't you know that Mika, as well as us French people, is obscene?

amneris Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I think we all agree on the meaning of "Quand toi et moi on fait boum boum boum"...Am I right ??? yes he says so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guylainem123 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 what? boum boum boum is obscene? i think it's self censored who knows... when we hear the song, it may mean something totally different.... like dancing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 No one can possibly tell if it's rubbish or not rubbish based on this 15 seconds. It's not a verse and doesn't even seem to be the full chorus to me. It sounds like an outro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceebs Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Woke up at 2:30am, having to use the bathroom, which I was actually happy about so I could see the cover. I really like it. Bright and quirky and just a little bit racy. About the song, it's really hard to tell, from that little snippet, and we barely hear his voice, but I think it has potential, and I'm really looking forward to hearing the rest. The rhythm is really catchy, and I think it could be a great summer song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nenartus Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I was right about naked Mika!?! And even not covering himself with his panama hat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll keep you posted on all the download links, video news and everything else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwendin Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 When it comes to the cover, I'm ok with it, I just don't like the Mount MikaRushmoreface, but whatever. At least it'll be played in Montreal Oh yeah and not impressed by the lyrics "Toi et Moi on fait Boum Boum Boum". I kind of hope it won't be played in Montreal. Those lyrics don't seem to fit an orchestra, or maybe I'm just old minded. I'd like to see that happen though. who knows... when we hear the song, it may mean something totally different.... like dancing Yeah. Right. I was waiting for some French dude to explain that it's a peculiar french saying which means everything but that thing. And by "that" I don't mean dancing. But apparently it's not happening. Sometimes that Ockham guy is right. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. I have nothing against ducks, so I'm fine with those lyrics. It sounds like an outro. I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck. Not sure if that's exactly Occam's theory, but yeah I get your point.

But maybe for us English people, it's a little surprising to see a naked cartoon man revealing all on the cover for a single. They could have just had him turning away slightly more to avoid the awkward penis (for lack of a better way to phrase it!). Unless that's what you French people like to see...

Elwendin Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 i think she means they will play it on her local radio station, not that it will be performed by the orchestra. Aaaah, I see now I'm dumb Not sure if that's exactly Occam's theory, but yeah I get your point. "when you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better." So if boum boum boum sounds like.... a duck, then it must be a duck. Or a chicken, just to fit here on MFC. The track 'Boum Boum Boum' will be released internationally via itunes And here I have my answer. No major quest for me. Just my couch and my lousy internet connection. And of course, a credit card. Never done it before. It may be a major quest as well, actually.

Alireine Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) But maybe for us English people, it's a little surprising to see a naked cartoon man revealing all on the cover for a single. They could have just had him turning away slightly more to avoid the awkward penis (for lack of a better way to phrase it!). Unless that's what you French people like to see... For me this penis doesn't look awkward Then, I can understand that you find it surprising to find it on the cover, I was also a bit surprised, but listening to the snippet, I think it makes sense. I personnaly like the fact that, the song talking about sex, he chooses not to hide the sexual part of this nacked man. For me it's not chocking, only surprising, and I love surprises, especially from Mika I'm afraid that if I enter too much into details of what French people like to see, I will get into troubles so I can only say that I am personaly not afraid of such a view are English people closing their eyes when they happen to meet one?
