LYRICS (French / English)
Je sais que je devrais pas / I know that I shouldn’t
Mais j’ai que ça / But it’s all I
Dans la tête maintenant / Can think about
Et ça devient chaud là / And it’s getting hot now
Ça devient chaud là / It’s getting hot now
Julie couche avec Julien / Julie is sleeping with Julien
Qui aime Anaïs / Who loves Anaïs
Qui se rend compte de rien / Who is completely unaware
Et ça devient chaud là / And it’s getting hot now
Beaucoup trop chaud là / Way too hot now
Et moi / And me
Quand serai-je celle / When will I be the one
Au centre / At the center
D’une telle histoire / Of this kind of story
Si toi / If you
Tu ne parles que d’elle / You only talk about her
Et moi je n’oserais jamais te dire / And I would never dare tell you
Ce que je veux faire avec toi / What I want to do with you
Je sais que je devrais pas / I know that I shouldn’t
Sous les couvertures / Under the covers
Avec mon Nokia / With my Nokia
Mais ça devient chaud là / But it’s getting hot now
J’ai des photos là / I’ve got photos here
De la soirée où Julie a emballé Anaïs / Of the party where Julie got together with Anaïs
Mais Julien en sait toujours rien / But Julien still doesn’t know anything
Quelle feuilleton mélo quoi / What a soap opera
Beaucoup trop chaud là / Way too hot now

Let’s give Athena Wheaton some thumbs up for her phenomenal video skills!!! One of the reasons I love her editing is that she has such a keen musical ear, so she’s really good at showing what she’s hearing. ALSO, she’s really funny. ALSO, she makes you feel like you’re in the studio with us. She is at least 90% of the reason why you know about Pomplamoose’s French album. So yeah. If you love the videos, tell Athena how awesome she is!!!

[@rhamses]

The edit is * chef`s kiss* - Congrats Athena (awesome name BTW).

[@DanLSand]

The original Pomplamoose video style returns… at the NEXT LEVEL! ❤ You may co-own it!

[@BryanBlock]

HUGE props to her for the brilliant and funny visual expression of this song! Had me captivated from start to finish ❤

[@richardlacroix9069]

You guys all are so talented in your unique ways. All musically gifted. I play brass, and your arrangements make me jealous hahah thank you for another banger!

[@rockestee]

Athena, i watched with great interest, thanks for a fun feast for the eyes while my ears were going nuclear ☢️!!! ( omgosh that break you little maniacs!)

[@jordanoakes7121]

As a musician, I LOVE watching you guys all have a blast making incredible music.

[@trevorrobinson1716]

The piano at the end was such a quality touch.

[@G_WATERS]

can anyone tell me the chords to that piano outro?

[@NOTNOTJON]

I think deep inside we're all trying to find the version of the universe that Jack is living in. Love the lofi end. Very fitting of your style.

[@croneryveit9070]

@@rockestee It's like you put extra effort into making your comment as annoying as possible to read. Love the msg, hate the messenger.

[@nathanreiber6819]

nah. most of us just wish Jack Conte was literally in a different universe altogether, but really we all made Jack Conte. Such a tragedy.

[@croneryveit9070]

@@nathanreiber6819 what are you so god damn salty and/or jealous about?

[@ColossalFailure]

After stumbling across your shorts and binging through tons of your content, I think I've just discovered my new favourite band. This is so good!

[@_n.dobson_onIG]

I did the ecact same thing

[@joaolemes8757]

Good to see people discovering them

[@cameronvanberkum7353]

Oh my lord, that upright piano finale? Chills

[@buckkylem]

That guy who plays “noises” kills me. Just the thought of counting rests until your little “bleep bloop” is so fucking funny to me. They all just seem like something that would be done in post. Cool to see it done “live”

[@WarlockTV_]

Finally!!!!!

[@L0op]

in case you're curious: it's called a modular synth. "look mum no computer" has some interesting videos on them.

[@nischalaroselindsay837]

I totally agree! 😂😍😎

[@avenuePad]

Feeling the Stereolab vibes and loving it!

[@mrclucker1969]

Definitely got some of that old school pomplamoose in there - yay!! Jack’s manic face is brilliant - very visual ‘child in a candy shop’ sort of manic!

[@mikelin256]

Idk if there's an audience for this, but I would absolutely LOVE a video explaining the harmonic analysis of this song. Such a great vibe start to end. Love how you managed to make such an earworm pop hook while still leading the harmony into so many dissonant surprises. Hands down some of my favorite songwriters in the world.

[@Nerdorkgeek]

There’s DEFINITELY an audience! I feel like there’s a lot of overlap between pomplamoose fans and music theory nerds

[@Stevenaramburo]

​@@Nerdorkgeekalso, you can see them talk about how the song is being made, changes, melodies and stuff that will fit well.. and is really interesting

[@dangeroustoothpaste]

My analysis: it's in the key of H semi-major, with the harmonic 6th going up an 8th interval on the pre-verse, and the choral chords are orthogonal refurbished 3rds in the trixolodian scale. Hope that helps! 😊

[@falstaff5899]

Enfin ! On les attendait ces chatons nucléaires ! Grettings from France 🇫🇷

[@amazona_finschi]

Nice to see Molly Miller on guitar. She's a great musician, and always looks like she is having a lot of fun playing.

[@Thezownage]

Holy fk what a ride. The progressive structure of this is like you’re in the middle of a nuclear attack, then the somber haunting off key piano at the end, welcome to the wasteland. Brilliant

[@jackc.5271]

Totally met and exceeded my expectations, this is gonna be stuck in my head for a while.

[@tylerdewey915]

I am just absolutely in love with each of these songs that you release for this album. I can't wait for the full drop!

[@rhamses]

1:11 Jack's face is the exact expression of my mind listening to this song. Awesome job Nataly & crew

[@mglouise97]

This video style reminds me of the old Pomplamoose videos, but upgraded and given more flare!!!! Love it ❤

[@parkivich]

This is what Pomplamoose has been meant to be from its inception, it's all been preparing for this incredibly French banger.

[@tamseelnaveed3876]

I didn’t realise the story lines connected to the other songs in the album!! Very cool!!!!!

[@hoxordm8491]

I still haven't figured out who loves who in this song Because to me it sounds like Julien loves Anais and stays faithful to Julie only for Julie to get together with Anais later

[@trevorodell5564]

My first intro to Pomplamoose was the short for this, and I've been periodically searching it up ever since, waiting for the full release. Beautiful and haunting, all wrapped into one.

[@joshuahoogeveen3273]

Everything you guys make is so different than most music I listen to (mostly a metalhead), but I love pretending I'm in the studio with you. Infectious energy, and you are all so talented!

[@ellisurbanski527]

Finally Nuclear Kittens!!! is out! I was waiting for this one. It did not disappoint! I also love the subtle queer representation. Greatly appreciated

[@jasonkesser]

I am so deeply in love with this song. The outro crushed my tin can heart down into loose pocket change.

[@iandickson5716]

It made me smile to hear this and to watch these folks delight in the pure joy of creating music. Thanks😀🎵

[@ISKLEMMI]

I saw the short and just had to hear the whole song. Absolutely wonderful work on both the song and the video. Sublime!

[@Nico_Dica]

C'est tellement frais ! J'adore !😊😊

[@cuervoplays94]

Holy shit it’s crazy to see this. I remember finding Jack Contes in my middle school days over 15 years ago! Then Natalie Dawn as well her voice was the first female singer I think I truly enjoyed listening to, was a scene kid with heavy punk rock roots. It’s crazy how sounds can still send the same feelings and bring back memories from a time thought forgotten. 😊 keep it going guys! Your sounds is amazing!

[@dawsonlamasbass]

Athena Wheaton did an incredible job with this editing, JUST WOW. And you guys, absolutely killing the new songs like usual!!!!

[@user-wi8nl3pr4n]

Can’t wait for the new album! I’ve been enjoying all your guys shorts and videos the last few months. Keep up the good energy!

[@omerbey4713]

Athena, you're awesome. The video totally reflects the childlike whimsy of this crew and this song. You're all awesome. Don't grow up.

[@bkcauafroes2012]

Why doesn't this have millions of views? It certainly deserves it

[@irrelevant8639]

Insane is not a world I use lightly. Love this so much great job to everyone who worked on it and love that melancholic outro

[@captgray2000]

Love the finish on the piano.

[@JS-vh4yq]

Pure magic, with a twist of fun.

[@MrDLink59]

wow c'est génial ce que vous faites, vraiment très classe d'avoir le son saturé du synthé en plus votre funk !!

[@senorbe]

I'm looking forward to hearing these songs in order. The French album seems like a throwback to albums that held together as a whole

[@veggiet2009]

This feels simultaneously like classic pomplamoose and new pomplamoose all wrapped up with a nice synthetic keyboard bow! I love it;

[@donsheffler]

Jack lol - pure joy

[@olegbulyga303]

thank you guys for making this world better!

[@dumbstupid5065]

Oh man... the sound of the old Heintzman just hit me right in the feels. Always loved the way you mic, process and mix pianos. Great jam, y'all. Wanted this one to be longer. Thankfully I can just restart it. 😁Still think it's super cool you have Colin Kaepernick jamming out with you on bass (I keed, I keed... Joe is a beast).

[@SaachiOfficial]

How you guys blow my mind EVERY TIME is a mystery to me. This video is such a trip too! Thanks Athena!

[@jvebarnes]

With the subtitles turned on it becomes so much more than a song. I feel like I am watching a French art film from the 1960's. Anyway beautiful song, great arrangement, and a lot of fun.❤

[@Aubhee]

Pomplamoose is super crazy liquid tension maker band and I just love them so much! every time I watch them, I start to get amazed by a newness!

[@francoisdamville]

This piano ending is absolutely gorgeous

[@Lectical]

Gosh I've been waiting so long for this song it's definitely lived up to the short, and was even better than I hoped it would be. I still make the same stank face as the band when I listen, it goes so hard. I almost wish the piano at the end had a full song built around it too or I had an extended version, it's beautiful. Been listening on repeat since it came out. Only just now turned the captions on to see the lyrics lol, they fit the chaos and melancholy well, love the autobiographical vibe

[@lyricsronen]

Both the song and the editing are marvelous!

[@M-Maxxer]

My music teacher showed me this yesterday, he was talking about how the key player got so excited when he played a certain note, everyone in my class was laughing! But yeah, this song is great! Oh, also he told us that Jack owned Patreon? Lol idk if its true but yeah!

[@patricklynn7207]

I love you guys! Always will.

[@joseptumpalsianturi1795]

I do really really really freakin love this song...! so crazy!!!

[@biggertugg]

I remember back when bust your kneecaps came out and im still enjoying your music

[@songvevo123]

I've been on the lookout for the full release of this since I saw the short months ago. Looking forward to showing the full release to my girlfriend!

[@fannybrun]

J'adore! Comme d'habitude. Merci !

[@j.b.21]

And again - I love these video editings! Well done :)

[@andersfugelli2764]

So great to see the all the cool cheeky expressions - looks like the band are having so much fun! 😄

[@Blue_Stargazer]

OMFG FINALLY!!!! The relief I feel after finally hearing this in it's entirety! Sooo good! THE END! oh the end, I have tears, wtf, I was not expecting this! Thank you! Love you Pomplamoose!

[@netolol100]

Like you said on the shorts, ypu guys sounds likes a "fun dystopia" and this all i need Kisses from brazil

[@hidesertmusic]

Awesome video!! Kudos to Athens. One of the best I’ve seen in quite awhile. I love watching you guys record. I know it’s hard work but you all seem to be having a blast, especially Jack. He’s got his groove on for sure. Thank you for sharing this.

[@PogieJoe]

Always a delight! Also Athena rocks! What a hard worker.

[@KoendeJong]

Never knew Lil Dicky was such a good bass player!

[@JyrzStreams]

This song SLAPS! Also, the video work is so great and playful. All that effort to give everyone their own little cutout windows is so worth it.

[@Rainbowslugz]

Amazing music on simple yet efficient lyrics! The alarms blasting at the syrupy tea being told got straight to my gossipy teenager’s brain! 10/10 banger! Thank you!❤

[@multi.instrumentalist]

Athena, you’re awesome! Also this music is exactly what I aspire to become skilled enough to write and record, how did you know the contents of my brain?

[@GARCKY]

Found my way back to your channel today. I'm very glad I did.

[@francoisbrinck-boucher183]

That was a ride! I love the ending, it ties off the harmonious chaos of that song very well.

[@thenebularity]

I've been absolutely loving the content! I found your channel through some shorts and I just love the positive atmosphere your band gives off. The style of music is unique and the shorts of watching how everyone puts it together is heart-warming.

[@connor6324]

I've been absolutely obsessed with this since I saw the KZbin short for it ages ago, stoked it's finally out what a banger

[@TakeTheRide]

Second video of yours to watch today. New subscriber. This was fun to watch. Especially after you started smiling and looking like you were having a good time as the singer, along with everyone else.

[@sirbacon2882]

This is supercool! Awesome production. The synth blips I spot-on! And the chord harmonies are stunning.

[@Goodguycyraxx]

An acoustic version of this song would be sick, I imagine it with a full orchestra and everything

[@EdTalenti]

How did I miss this song from you guys?! One of my favorites!

[@bethburleson6684]

LOVE IT! and it's bringing me back to when all the music videos were weird edits of yall recording it and I love it

[@kimberleebrooks-trakis9563]

Love that bit of acoutstic piano.

I've been waiting for this ever since that short about the composition process for it! :D

[@jonnymoka]

Came from Spotify and stayed cause I like it! Yay let’s get Pomped

[@petrilacosmin7743]

Amazing song, I was waiting for Molly to rip a solo in the middle of the calm piano at the end!

[@maryb3258]

Ty for the translations, it's nice to know when the beautiful song I don't understand is actually beautiful and hits hard. It's funny, the lead singers face drew me in and I remember now it was a cover of put a ring on it you did ages ago is how I recognized. A+

[@laksjdfhghfhdkskdjfh]

I've been watching you lot for like 12 years haha still love your music and videos ❤

I’ve seen many short videos of you all making the album and now I’m so happy to hear the end result. Fantastic!

[@Rippleedd]

First song ive heard and I absolutely love it. Showed up at THE prefect moment to amplify some emotions for me to savor. Was bliss. I've seen some of the shorts and understood you guys were musicians and listended to some bits. Very noive stuff. Was subbed before since i liked the shorts but turning on notifs and searching more songs

Welldone as always Dont ever tune that Piano....

[@chrisbullock3504]

Ever since i saw the YT short for this i have been desperately waiting for this. GREAT SONG

[@gobblederig]

As someone who was born with severe hearing loss and a profound passion for music, i have been playing Guitar and keyboard for over 10+ years now and the literal chills i receive when listening to your shorts/videos is unmatched. The audio quality and overall good vibes pomplamoose put out bring tears to my eyes and newfound noise to my ears where i thought it was once lost.
