Mylene Farmer - "Fuck Them All"

I don't usually go for these bitter, canned rage sorts of songs and it's not like sticking "fuck" in a pop song is a particularly shocking proposition these days, so why should I have any interest in this at all? Well, I like the ugly sentiment / pretty music contrast despite it's obviousness. The middle eight is perfect in its progression from a recollection of past indignities into a scathing release of repressed vitriol and contempt. And the ending, with those manic strings and plinky piano is awesomely climactic in a way that justifies the degree of anger up to that point.
