In 2005, Vitalic's debut album, OK Cowboy was released on Different / PIAS Recordings. Pascal states that all of the instruments used in the album are synthesized. His official website states that "the only thing he can't fake is the emotion that galvanizes his music."
His song "Trahison" from OK Cowboy was used in the trailer for the 2007 French film Naissance des Pieuvres. His song "Poney Part 1" was featured in the Pleix film Birds. It was announced by Festival Republic that Vitalic would be playing both the Reading and Leeds Festivals in the UK in August 2009.
Vitalic's second studio album Flashmob was released in 2009. The first single, "Your Disco Song" is available for streaming at Vitalic's MySpace page. He has spoken a great deal about the new disco influence on Flashmob.
Poney Part II
Vitalic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Working in the funfair
Life has never been easy
That's not life, that′s a nightmare
I've never seen a prairie
Never seen - a tree
Be the judge you're about to ride me
They could do the same with you
And what the groom may not of touched
Forced to turn around a pick
At your will - just like me
I′m just a little pony
Working in the funfair
Life has never been easy
That's not life, that′s a nightmare
I've never seen a prairie
Never seen - a tree
Be the judge you′re about to ride me
Is it touch, I don't do it.
The lyrics of Vitalic's song Poney Part II describe the experiences of a pony working in a funfair. The pony's life is characterized by an absence of freedom and joy, as it has never seen a prairie or a tree, and is constantly forced to perform for others' amusement. The singer describes their existence as a nightmare, rather than a life. The repeated phrase "Is it touch - I don't do it" suggests that the pony is uncomfortable with physical contact, and may have experienced mistreatment at the hands of its handlers.

I'm just a little pony
I am small and powerless
Working in the funfair
I am used for entertainment and amusement
Life has never been easy
My life has been full of hardship and struggle
That's not life, that's a nightmare
My existence is not a true representation of a fulfilling life, but rather a never-ending nightmare
I've never seen a prairie
I have never experienced the freedom and expansiveness of nature
Never seen - a tree
My world is limited to the confines of my enclosure and I have not had the opportunity to see the natural world
Be the judge you're about to ride me
You are in control of me and my fate
Is it touch - I don't do it
Even though I am at your mercy, I have boundaries and limitations
They could do the same with you
Just as I am being used, others may use and exploit you as well
And what the groom may not of touched
There are certain things that are taboo and should not be done
Forced to turn around a pick
Compelled to follow orders and perform tasks I may not want to do
At your will - just like me
You have complete control over me and can make me do anything you desire, just as others may have control over you
I'm just a little pony
Reiterating my vulnerability and powerlessness
Working in the funfair
Stating my current situation and role
Life has never been easy
Repeating that my life is full of difficulties
That's not life, that's a nightmare
Reiterating that my life is not fulfilling and is more like a never-ending nightmare
I've never seen a prairie
Repeating my limited experiences
Never seen - a tree
Reiterating my lack of exposure to the natural world
Be the judge you're about to ride me
Repeating the fact that you are in control of me
Is it touch, I don't do it.
Reiterating my boundaries and limitations

I'm just a little pony,
Working in the funfair,
Life has never been easy,
That's not life, that's a nightmare...
I've never seen a prairie,
Never seen - a tree,
Be the judge you're about to ride me,
Is it touch, I don't do it... (not 100% sure)
They could do the slip with you,
And what the groom may not of touched,
Forced to turn around a pick,
Bet your really just like me.

I'm just a little pony,
I've never seen a prairie,
They could do the slip with you,
Is it touch I still decree, (not 100% sure)
They could do the slip with you,
And what the groom may not of touched,
Forced to turn around a pick.
