At their beginning in January 1993, they were four girls: Sister Moon (vocals), Coxs (bass), Paka and Gen (guitar), but three more members joined before the release of their first album: David (drums), Jean-Marc (saxophone, keyboard) and Ben (trumpet).
Moi je t'aime pas
Le Maximum Kouette Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
J'aime les " oui Ken! " à Ibiza, les soirées tech' au champagne, pourquoi pas?
J'aime rire aux éclats, quand tous les regards se tournent vers moi
J'aime les " qu'est-ce que tu deviens? Tu work dans la mode ou bien? "
J'aime passer à la télévision, vous faire partager la déco de mon salon
J'aime les soirées de charité, quelle meilleure façon pour s'inviter à dîner?
Oui mais moi j't'aime pas
J'aime les porcs de St Tropez, mon yatch, mon string sous ma robe pailletée
J'aime me voir dans les magazines, au bras de Line Renaud, ma copine
J'aime mon loft dans le 7ème, mes nuits libertines face à la Tour Eiffel
J'aime écrire des best-sellers, comment rajeunir avec la peau de mon derrière
Oui mais moi j't'aime pas
Moi je t'aime pas
Je suis dans la jet-set, je fais dans le vent
Eternelle insatisfaite, ça fait tout mon charme
Je suis un water-closet, un trône ambulant
Où il fait bon s'asseoir pour faire de l'argent
Oui mais moi j't'aime pas
Moi je t'aime pas
The lyrics of Le Maximum Kouette's song Moi je t'aime pas reveal the conceit of a self-absorbed individual who relishes in the limelight and glamorous lifestyle of the jet-set, while at the same time, expressing disdain for the act of loving or being loved. The verses are saturated with ostentatious boasts about the things the singer loves, like high society parties, tech nights with champagne, passing on TV and writing best-sellers that offer unconventional ways to remain youthful. They also revel in their own allure as they enjoy being the center of attention and receiving compliments about their career in fashion, their luxurious apartment in the 7th arrondissement of Paris and other things that spawn envy.
But despite their self-aggrandizing attitude, they reject the idea of love, as their way of life is marked by aloofness and a lack of concern for others. The chorus succinctly delivers the song's message, repeating the sentence "Oui mais moi j't'aime pas, moi je t'aime pas" which translates to "Yes but I don't love you, I don't love you". The singer acknowledges their preference for materialistic pleasures and the superficiality that comes with them, making clear that they cannot reciprocate someone's true love. In this sense, the song is a satirical mockery of the narcissistic and shallow tendencies of the upper-class and their inability to form genuine connections with others.
