Parle à ma main (part. Yelle et Christelle)

The song 'Parle à ma main' is a harsh satire of self-centered French teenagers and their often erratic behavior. The lyrics are full of irony and exaggeration, highlighting the superficiality and lack of emotional depth of these young women. From the beginning, the song makes it clear that it is not encouraging this behavior, but rather mocking it.

The lyrics begin with the main characters introducing themselves and stating that they are not 'putes à frange', an expression that can be translated as 'whores with bangs', already establishing a provocative tone. They then describe their interactions with the boys, who are seen as annoying and unwanted. The phrase 'parle à ma main' (talk to my hand) is repeated several times, symbolizing the girls' contempt and indifference towards male advances.

The song also addresses the relationship between teenage girls and their parents and society. They complain about the restrictions imposed by their parents, such as not being able to smoke or go out at night, and express a desire for rebellion and independence. The lyrics are full of cultural references and popular brands among young people, such as Miss Sixty and Etam, which help paint a vivid picture of the lifestyle of these teenage girls.

In the end, the song suggests that men are useless and that girls should become homosexuals. Still, soon after, this idea is dismissed as a 'Fausse Bonne Idée' (FGI: False Good Idea), reinforcing the satirical and humorous tone of the song.
