I'm going to badly disappoint you and say that I don't get it. Is it a musical or just a random bit of whimsy inserted into a film. Actually, as a random bit of whimsy, I might be most impressed...

It's mostly a random bit of whismy. Godard tends to throw musical numbers into his films, even though none of them are really musicals. A Woman is a Woman comes closest, but it's really an anti-musical--the musical sections disrupt the narrative rather than further it.

And don't worry; I'm still not sure I get the film overall, and I've been reading about it like crazy (I'm sort of obsessed with it and writing a paper about it in a few weeks). If you haven't seen anything by Godard, don't start with this one. Start with Band of Outsiders.
