There is a line that says "la pop est en cloque" which is being translated as something like "pop is popped."

The phrase "être en cloque" is, however, a slang term for being pregnant. My dictionaries both use the translation "has a bun in the oven" with a note warning that it can be offensive in the wrong context, while my street French phrasebook translates it more directly as "knocked up." Either way, they agree that the line actually would have the sense of "pop is pregnant" rather than "pop is popped."

Well, you have mistaken in it anyways since it's in past form...

Pop's popularity was still growing at 60s and after it. So it wasn't popped yet but was still popping.

Unless your meaning with popped is something really different from what I understand it...


Anyways... I chose "popping" since it fits to lyrics and it somehow explains the meaning of clogue wich by native French explained to mean that pop is getting better/bigger and better/bigger (like a bun in the oven... or same applied to some random mommy...) .

Well, usually they are for a joke I guess...

Tho, some are done by kids who are jealous or can't stand that their idol suddenly doesn't get so much time in media (like many of the anti-Alizée stuff was related to Britney).


Maybe the last one that exists:

Let's try to avoid the "should" word. Feelings simply are. Should (about anything) is just trying to put somebody on a guilt trip about something, based on your own values (not theirs).

The way they feel now is not what the Alizée fans like to hear. In her first appearance in about 3 years. We only like to hear the positives. The negatives aren't a factor until they are spread so much they infect the forums strictly for Alizée fans.
