Like with Lollipop ( it not about candy) or Ice Cream (it's not about ice cream) 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, especially the French audience, not all of whom might speak English, they will think from the French lyrics that it's a totally innocent love song. 🙈 Well, I'm glad the French parts add some depth - it's not really Mika's best lyrics, but I guess most people who listen to a song on the radio won't care about the lyrics anyway, and the song itself is catchy and fun. Guess it's not meant to be deep but just to make you smile, and that's what it does. 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole song is about being in love with the doctor anyway And the doc is a man right? The only medecine Mika is taking Is this a coming out song? and such a happy one "Keep it simple baby" This song makes me so happy Edited January 20, 2023 by crazyaboutmika 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only medecine Mika is taking Is this a coming out song? and such a happy one "Keep it simple baby" Well, "coming out" probably is the wrong word, we know about Mika's sexuality. I don't know about Vianney, anyway "doctor" can be male or female (so maybe it's a male doc for Mika and a female one for Vianney? ) ... I had a similar thought because I thought "Mary Jane" was referring to a woman, like I don't want a woman, but my doctor... - now, with Michelle's explanation, I see it isn't a woman - but maybe it's meant to have a double meaning, so it can be interpreted either way? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I believe there are double meanings in the song and that Mika and Vianney must have laughed a lot when they wrote the song. Yeah well maybe coming out is the wrong world and telling the doc he loves him/her is better Edited January 20, 2023 by crazyaboutmika 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, given that he's talking about "medicine" to me it's pretty clear what definition of "Mary Jane" he means, though I haven't heard it called that for a long time! But I think the double-entendre is there, too. I love the song -- as a lot of you have already said, it's fun and funny and not to be taken seriously at all. But having said that, I'm really bothered by the mistakes in the lyrics video! I'm pretty sure that it's not "I'll been taking", it's "I been taking", which is still not grammatically correct, but it IS the way people talk. Nobody says "I'll been taking" ! Unless maybe they were taking some Mary Jane And I feel like the line "catch a break, chuck it to me," must be completely wrong. Not to mention that it makes absolutely no sense to me I don't hear that, but I can't make out what's actually sung. It does sound like the line starts with "won't you, can't you see...?" not "Oh can't you see?" but as for the rest? But anyway, I really love the song and it's SO GOOD to hear something new from Mika! 8 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, I love him singing his tongue in cheek lyrics with a funny and happy tune. It gives me “he’s back!” vibes and I can’t wait to hear what more he has in store for us. If this was on a fun afternoon, imagine what else he wrote? Anyway, with all this analyzing of the lyrics… aren’t you all very curious to see what his doctor looks like!!!???? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I love it!! and thanks for the translation. I'm pretty sure Mary Jane was in the room when they wrote those lyrics. Now I get why he said it's written at 3AM. That is valuable information 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I get the reference now, "love is a drug and you are my cigarette" ... didn't think of that yesterday night, it was late. 😅 So yes, I'd say you're right.

Or "catch a ?? of ??" ... or if it's "chuck it to me", maybe where they say "break", he actually sings a word that's another word for some kind of drug/pill?

TinyLove_CJ Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Only listened to the song twice and I really love it! Maybe not my absolute favourite duet but it's certainly a happy and catchy vibe. Before I came here to check the lyrics I already thought it might be a little naughty .... and of course Mika is behind THOSE lyrics! I like how it has a balance between the English and French which also accentuates that naughty yet innocent balance too! It's a great song to dance along to and not take too seriously. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, I don't want to accidentally insult whoever created the lyric video, but I make edits on Capcut from time to time, and the way those lyrics appear on screen with that effect looks a lot like the effects you have on Capcut to create auto-lyrics 😅. You can simply put in any song and Capcut will transcribe the lyrics, though obviously if someone mumbles a bit the AI has trouble recognizing the words and just guesses something. I feel like that happened here too, with the grammar mistakes and strange sentences 😅. Either that or it was a French intern who really struggled with English, but in any case I think we can trust our own ears more than the "official" lyrics, as is often the case with Mika 😅😂 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
