Prototypes - "Je Ne Te Connais Pas"

[laisseoublier]

Prototypes in Texas? Why would a great French Group perform in the worst place in the world?

[rogeryd]

Isabelle is so cute!

[WafflitoTheWaffle]

hahah great song!

[BroodK1ll3er]

why is there a french band singing in texas ?

[zerton]

@BroodK1ll3er Because Austin is amazing

[Pandamojia]

If the Yeah Yeah Yeahs could speak French....

[toadette09]

@Ishiku, non, c'est pas comme the Ramones! Ramones sont punk rock, Prototypes sont pop-punk. @lilfellanemo, oui, je le pense aussi. ils sont comme un melange de the Yeah Yeah Yeahs et Blur.

[ainemairenic]

J'adore ses chaussures :)

[nellie2581]

J'adore cette chanson. Utlisé pour une pub de voiture aux USA.

[jakekruse]

2:14 look at how many fans they have!

[dablacksquad]

this was from the mitshubi lancer commercial

[EmeraldGlacier]

This song is very very common. They've made way better songs!

[saapasnahka]

Awesome band.

Maybe you people who don't like Prototypes just shouldn't listen to it, then...

[sachaafun]

and please PLEASE don't compare them to Yeah Yeah Yeah's and Karen O, juste rien à voir, this girl CAN'T SING

[sachaafun]

c'est nulle à chier, alors bien sur, quatre mots en français qui s'aligne sur trois notes pourries de guitares et on crie au génie aux états unis, vraiment NIMPORTEQUOI!

for english speakers : please don't say that this is a great band just because you hear three french word, that song SUCKS, really

[SlouchingPoet]

Who cares about the words?

[Ishiku]

@sachaafun

Un peu comme the Ramones mais avec un chanteuse? Je crois tu n'aimes pas le Rock Musique?

[lilfellanemo]

@Ishiku non, comme the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

[nellie2581]

@sachaafun J'adore cette chanson à cause de la pub pour une voiture. Même si les paroles n'ont pas de sense.

[gahhhmybad]

They look like bad Yelle knockoffs.

Look her up.

She's a French singer.

10x better.

[girlsloverobots]

This band has been active longer, though.

[askl23]

I have hardly even a base grasp of the French language, but for some reason I love hearing anything sung in French.

[A4MES]

does anyone kno the guitar tabs for this song i need them badly

[MondoBeno]

Sounds a bit like the Hives. But they're a great band nonetheless. Unfortunately I didn't hear of them until I saw the trailer for The Dreamers.

[marlongalindo28]

fans watching count : 2

[aprilmorrison000]

haha i did this for my french project.

[joeytwintail]

Where's the audience? And... who's gonna sing?!?

[blackbelt66]

lol that tru :-S

[rasgosdeinsania]

Desde MEXICO we love PROTOTYPES !

AuPA!!

[RetroBot68]

Have no idea what they're saying but I'm starting to really love French pop music, I just love the way the language sounds.

[simplymufasa]

J'adore ce groupe!Vive les Prototypes!

[snipelfritz]

Bass-wah, bad ass as hell.

[stevencool104]

quelle chanson bête

[nuage7777]

Cool song!

[Staszu13]

English translation: I don't know you Yeah yeah yeah I don't remember you Yeah yeah yeah Are you sure it's me Yeah yeah yeah That you're not mistaken It always starts The same way You kiss You drink It always ends The same way You say you remember

[vpew]

I'm wondering if it would be better to translate it as "we kiss, we have a drink", that's how I heard it, and the last line, I mean "one says that one remembers", is it referring to the couple or the impersonal "you" (on en français)

que pense-tu?

[negatif0003]

"On se dit qu'on se rappelle" means : we say to each other "I'll call you back"

[Staszu13]

lyrics:(French) Je ne te connais pas yeah yeah yeah ! je ne m'en souviens pas yeah yeah yeah ! t'es sur que c'est moi yeah yeah yeah ! est ce que tu ne te trompes pas yeah yeah yeah ! ça commence toujours pareil on s'embrasse on boit un verre ça finit toujours pareil on se dit qu'on se rappelle

[phishfan08]

Can someone fill me in on this band? I really like this song.

[tubulation]

already know wikipedia?

[EvilPundit]

They have a lot of good songs aside from this one. Go to their myspace page.

[valdin450]

even if they stole the bassline from P.O.M., they still took something shitty and made it good.

[mrsjamespotter210]

OMG I>3 THIS SONG!!!

[miler726]

Ok, IMO, Puddle of Mudd sucks.

[Charles9759]

How could you compare Puddle of Mudd to these guys? Puddle of Mudd is like their namesake.

[Charles9759]

What I meant by that is P.O.M. sux.

[miler726]

Dear people who think the Prototypes stole this beat from Puddle of Mudd,

The only problem is that Puddle of Mudd fucking sucks and Protypes fucking kick their asses.

[rbms20mets]

fuck that..i mean prototypes are good..but puddle of mudd is so much better

[gossipgurl0590]

What puddle of Mudd song was the beat stolen from

[TheTrueFranchise]

take em' to church. FUCK PUDDLE OF MUDD, THEY HAD ONE GOOD SONG AND I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT WAS. Not that I really like this band either but they are better than mUDDLE oF pUDD.

[caroledu56]

Ca va j'aime bien ya du bon son mais la voix j'aime bof ^^ =]

[EvilPundit]

Bubble Star is hawt

[ladigunit21]

i agree but this song kills!!!

[nellie2581]

C'est dans une pub americaine de voitures

[rohiogerv22]

Am i the only one who thinks this is eerily similar to "She Fuckin Hates Me" -Puddle of Mudd? Same bassline definitely, the chords sound similar, and the solo is the same with a different effect.

[rohiogerv22]

also, they rhyme "pas" with "pas"

[mysticx0]

my thoughts exactly, thy completely ripped the bassline and the cadence.

and the lyrics make no sense (find the translation), constantly repeated and probably took 5 minutes to write on a napkin while at mcdonalds. or make that le mcdonalds lol.

weak song. get your own beat.

[rohiogerv22]

Macdo in France actually :P

[dumputer]

You know, it's entirely possible that they've never heard that song, nevermind the band.

[rohiogerv22]

Its entirely possible for nearly anything to happen... its entirely possible they DID hear it and took the melody from it too. They did add a little more emotion to it it seems, but Im just saying the progression is TOO similar to be coincidental, especially past the first chorus of She Hates Me... Even the nonsensical noises occur at the same time.

[offspringgta]

that's so true. i looked up this song b/c i saw it on a commercial. the bassline is a rip-off, but, being a french band, what are the chances that they took an english song's rip off on purpose?

[DUSTandROSE]

lol i just like the song..and the beat of it, im in french class year 2, and i understand it

[heylan]

Love this Song !! French girls are extremely HOT !!

[Audiomuse]

Nice song,

[gambleZ144]

Jack Black on the bass guitar. Lol JK

I'm in love that lead singer, I find something very sexy about women in rock, especially if their french!

[JohnnySwitchblade]

This band is great...they have a real good indie sound, really cute catchy melodies, they're just good. And they're not even american. American music these days has been drabbbbbb...Europeans kiss our ass musically. Sorry, but it's been that way since the 60s.

[HotSauce147]

they kiss our ass musically? lol whats that even supposed to mean? They suck or we do? i cant tell wut ur saying

[AstroChiLee]

ya i'm only here b/c of the mitsubishi comemrcial 2008

[AidenLuvrPunkRckFrea]

haha i love the car commercial. haven't heard the whole song and i have no sound on my computer so i'ma have to download it and hope its worth it.

[nothingisnottaken]

Buy the album, it's totally worth it. I don't know wtf they're saying, but it sounds cool.

[crewcomm]

This song is better live!

[LaJemo]

Love this song <3

[Dentarthurdent54]

Vive la franco-pop!

[WoWCakz]

hah the french are great

[supermanly1]

when i seen the commercial for mistubishi i thought this was a good song but, sadly it wasn't what i expected as good.

nothing against people who like this song, it's just me.

[africanlit]

I get where you are coming from but you have to understand that technical songs like this are hard to sing live. I was a little disappointed myself when I watched this video but singing live to this type of song is hard!

[dablacksquad]

mitsubishi commercial

[lincresta]

I hate SXSW. Everyone is running around town trying to be seen here or there and they miss performances like this one. The Prototypes are the real deal, they truly deliver the goods.

[bertisjesuss]

very good song. i heard this on a promo someone did for "the dreamers". you know, the film with michael pitt, and eva green, by bernardo bertolucci.

[mongobobo]

no one there.

[sucettealacerise]

Je les ai vus en concert et c'était trop bien! :D

[Terrabella3]

Is it me or does the melody of this song sound like Puddle of Mud's "She hates me"??? let me know if anyone else agrees.

[lordtroah]

Lol it does.

[deliriumzer0]

That's actually the first thing I thought when the melody kicked in :P

[MyOwnByJT]

Quel Public! Lol

De Quoi faire un "slam Diététique"! MDR

[pjkiger]

I hate SUVs but this song is GREAT!

[Tatelasteil]

Great song

[fdballer50]

franchement, j'aime pas ce chanson... mais c bon de voir k'une chanson francaise peut etre populair parmi des etrangers.

[argtunu]

seems to be about one night stands and maybe running into them later on...so the lyrics aren't that bad, that's not the dumbest thing to write a song about....

[snake8127]

cool band very fresh!!!!

[Jacksoup123]

Prototypes a tres' tres' tres' bein! Je a suis ell ecout bein!

[MJChaplic16]

I am who is not? translation im a beginner in french:)

[dontbelievehislies]

"I don't know you."

[paintedfan]

I Love This Song!

It's in the new Mitsubishi commercial.

It's no wonder there's like 2 people in the crowd:

1) It's French. 2) It was shot in Austin, TX

Now if it was Paris, there would probably be thousands!

[Remembrance1692]

yeah... I wish I knew what they were saying... they're awesome but I can't find an english translation to WTF they're saying. It's quite catchy. It's cool though. I like how America's getting more and more variety with culture of music.

[starlightgong]

"je ne te connais pas

je ne m'en souviens pas

t'es sur que c'est moi?

est-ce que tu trouves pas?

ça commence toujours pareil

on s'embrasse, on boit un verre,

ça finit toujours pareil,

on se quitte, on se rappelle"

[starlightgong]

terrible lyrics actually, basically they mean:

"we don't know each other

I don't remember

are you sure it's me?

don't you think ?

it always starts the same

we greet, we have a drink

it always ends the same

we leave and call back"

I have to admit they're pretty unknown in Paris

[kevbros]

"I don't know you I don't remember anything about it Are you sure it is me? Are you making a mistake? It always starts the same We greet we drink It always ends the same we tell each other we'll remember each other

(on se dit qu'on se rappelle)

[GabiexoxoGomez]

haha you are so funny!!!=] and thats true!!

[kevbros]

sounds more like "est-ce que tu ne te trompes pas?" Then she changes them around a little next time like "Bien sur que c'est moi"

[realtwilightfan]

i luv them but, does any1 else think the main singer looks lke the chick from blade runner?

[stumpythedestoyer]

I love them so much, but I feel bad, because they have like 2 members in the audience.

[LittleGigiK]

I LOVE THEM!

[uzusukuri]

j'aime! le chanson est vraiment magnifique!

[illergen]

Geiler Song.Leider net die beste Qualität.Trotzdem SUPAAA!!

[RonanLynch]

I suspected Francoise Cactus from Stereo Total at first, but I am happy she didn´t sell her soul to bmw !! :-)

[littleguy07]

she is a lot like Karen O but I sort of like this better. Maybe just because it's French...

[Endoplasmat]

i love that song!!!
