‘It Hit Me’ explains the point of view of a teenage girl being wolf-whistled at for the first time and as a consequence discovering the awkward feeling of being objectified. The inventive former, which translates from French as ‘This is not a cliche’, pokes fun at the formulaic songwriting of chart music.Īway from the straight out humour Topical Dancer also has some thought-provoking moments. Sometimes you just gotta laugh at the ridiculousness of the decade, and this song encourages this form of cathartic release.Ĭharlotte Adigéry’s most extreme examples of sarcasm are on the ironically-titled ‘Ceci N’est Pas Un Cliché and ‘Thank You’.
