This song inspired by my close friend Thaïs, was written to celebrate women. During a night out, my friend came face to face on the dance floor with a man. It was evident that this Donjuan had found his next victime. Even if she showed him no interest he kept moving as she changed places to get rid of him. He was very tall and skinny I called him the green oignon. So Thaïs decided to do something that I find so funny, she started shaking her upper body very close to him has a protest to you want it but you wont have it ! It was so funny and very fast he finally understood that he was barking at the wrong tree. So after that night I would tease Thaïs asking her to do the milk shake for me and one day I told her I would write a song for her. This song is for all the women who are tired of not being taking seriously. Common girls do the milkshake !

Cette chanson inspirée de mon amie Thaïs, je l’ai écrite pour célébrer les femmes. Pendant une soirée mon amie est tombée face à face avec un mec qui de toute évidence, dans sa tête de macho, venait de trouver sa prochaine conquête. Bien qu’elle se retournait pour lui faire comprendre qu’elle n’était pas intéressée, ce grand échalote insistait. ( il était grand et sec ) Alors d’un geste que j’ai trouvé génial elle s’est mise devant lui et à “Shaker” son haut du corps. Ce mec l'a surement raconté à ses amis en disant “elle faisait brasser ses seins”. Mais avec ce geste clairement sarcastique, il a fini par comprendre et a changé de victime. Pour taquiner Thaïs, je lui disais qu’elle avait dansé le “Milk Shake” devant un échalote. Je lui avais dit que j’écrirai une chanson pour elle et voilà c’est fait. Cette chanson se veut une hymne de la force et du pouvoir des femmes. Bien que la majorité des hommes sont sans contrôle devant elles, ils persistent à ne pas les traiter comme des égales. Alors cette chanson, bien qu’elle semble légère et sans message, elle se veut d’être un modèle d’encouragement pour que ces femmes qui en ont marre se lèvent et disent c’est assez… “do the Milk Shake ! »

lyrics

Baby honey, when things are going on
you hardly can go on, you think your not that strong
Baby honey, when it's so dark you see no light,
no solution in sight, you gotta fight,
Shake it, shake it.
Do the milkshake

(shake, shake, shake it, shake)
Let's do the milk shake

Baby honey, when for love you've got no trust,
your patience seems to rust, turn your dreams into dust,
Baby honey, when you want to see the light
the solution in sight, you gotta fight,
Shake it, shake it.
Do the milkshake


(shake, shake, shake it, shake)
Let's do the milk shake

Baby honey, when things are going on
you hardly can go on, you think your not that strong...
Shake it, shake it.
Do the milkshake

Poor it out scream and shout, insiste in making them here you out,
say it loud, say it proud, say it live and in the cloud. (bis)

(shake, shake, shake it, shake)
Let's do the milk shake
