And why not? "Any medicine you give me I'm taking", that could as well be cheese. Maybe he felt inspired by the dancing Babybels. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The word should be "feverish", he's changed it just to rhyme with "me" Yes I think “I’ll be taking” is probably right. I had the same reaction to “feverly “ but I did find it in a few online dictionaries. 🤔 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatanBenYosef224 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Happy news, the song is now available in my Spotify! so if anyone here had the same problem, check your Spotify. Anyway, I find this songs to grow on me. at first i thought it's just cute and nothing else, but now I listen to it a lot. Mika's voice + piano + catchy tune... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to have brie for lunch It was particularly yummy Come to think of it I buy lots of babybels too Cheese sales will increase fast Maybe Mika got this idea when he saw @dcdeb's cheesy advent calendar Edited January 21, 2023 by crazyaboutmika 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it sounds cute, and the meaning becomes clear if you know the word "fever"... so I suppose as the song is for the French market it doesn't matter, even if to native English speakers it sounds wrong But it might confuse some French kids who are learning English, like I was confused at school because I learned a lot of my English from songs and they often sing "don't" where it should be "doesn't", so I always got that wrong in tests. Would be an interesting study, to see how many French students will write "feverly" instead of "feverish" in their tests at school, because they've listened to this song too often. Virgi wrote on Twitter that she heard the song on the radio today but it was censored, to avoid the Jimmy line I wonder if the radio station actually censored it, or if the label provided a "clean" version for the radio stations to choose, like they sometimes do for songs with explicit lyrics. Except that these lyrics aren't explicit at all, unless you know what it means, and then I'd say you're not that innocent that you need protection. As I already said on Twitter, it's like they would censor the line "sucking too hard on your Lollipop", or even just if someone sings about "making love", as the words themselves really aren't explicit, just the meaning is. So although personally I might have preferred a different topic in the lyrics (tho I got used to it meanwhile, I think I had a similar initial reaction about Ice Cream, and now I love it! ), I absolutely don't agree with censorship! I really hope that if they sing it on Wednesday at the Gala, they're not cutting this out! In that I agree with @crazyaboutmika about Mika's naughty side and this "devil's wink", it's fun if he can play a song where he's singing about his Jimmy, with a symphony orchestra on national TV! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least this was the case with Tomorrow, I could buy the original or the cleaned version from Google Play at that time, and all of that because of one word Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Censored? That's hilarious . I needed this forum to understand that line, how evil are kids these days that they would even get this? But a small scandal will help it to become a hit. I really like the song, it's funny and happy and makes me smile. The diversity of his songs is what I like about Mika, there's a song for every mood. I listen to chansons, latin, pop, dance and it's all Mika. If only he would make another rocksong I wouldn't need that italian band in my playlist anymore. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Every time I listen to this song I end up with a big soppy grin on my face. It might be light and frothy, but the world could use some of that right now. Bravo! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
