The 333 Best Pop Songs of the 2000s: #305

#305: "Je Ne Te Connais Pas" (2004) - Prototypes


All attitude, seriously sassy, minimalist electro pop funk, tambourine, handclaps, yeah yeah yay, skip-rope chorus, immediately catchy, rooted in New Wave and Devo and Francoise Hardy and the B-52's and the 5.6.7.8.'s, don't know what the lyrics mean and don't care, get tired of listening to it after the 305th consecutive spin while trying to think of something meaningful to say about it or for some clever introduction, some car company should use this in a commercial, and that's all I got.

Then why did you list it as one the 333 best pop songs?

'cause it thrilled me the first 304 times I listened to it.

I dunno if you wrote this before the commercial came out but it's in a commercial now!
