First off, "Raconte-Moi Une Histoire" is "Tell Me a Story" in French.
All I can think about when the frog is being described is Hypnotoad from Futurama. I think it's fairly obvious that this song is about drugs. Specifically, a hallucinogenic trip. The music in this song is very bubbly and flowing. The tempo makes it feel like you are going on a journey, and gradually builds throughout the song. The imagery in the song is representative of the drug theme.
"you can feel your body changing"
"and blue becomes red and red becomes blue"
"and everything looks like a giant cupcake"
"and you keep laughing and laughing and laughing"
"nothing is ever quite the same really"
The narration by the little girl makes the song feel like a fairy tale, and her narration represents the childlike feeling a lot of people describe from doing hallucinogens. The last stanza is very happy and optimistic and I think it expresses people's view of the world during and sometimes after tripping.
