Mylène Farmer's"Je t'aime mélancolie" is a fun song, one with lyrics that play upon the singer's reputation as melancholic and pensive, presented as sung-spoken verses and sung choruses, paired with very early 1990s pop music, and given a literally combative video. Mylène does not take it lightly.



Sample verse:

J’ai comme une envie
De voir ma vie en l’air
Chaque fois que l’on me dit
C’est de la mauvaise herbe
Et moi je dis:
Qu’une sauvage née
Vaut bien d’être estimée
Après tout elle fait souvent la nique
Aux “trop bien” cultivées, et toc!


The song was later remixed for the 2003 album RemixeS,
Felix Da Housecat providing an urgent electro remix that remained true to the original song. I think I prefer it to the original version, even.



Et toc.
