Moules Frites by Stromae

The song’s namesake comes from the dish moules-frites (mussels & fries) which is a national dish of Stromae’s native Belgium. Stromae said so himself: Mussels and fries. That’s all we have in Belgium. And beer and chocolate. But it’s really a metaphor, a cautionary tale that warns against STDs and AIDS. I’m not talking about mussels and French fries. I’m talking about AIDS and sexual disease, and stuff like that. When I’m saying “Paulo likes mussels”, I mean ‘Paulo likes sex’. .
