This expression is one of the most polite ways to say “I don’t care” in French.
It literally means that something is passing above your head so you don’t feel concerned: you don’t care about it.
An even more polite way to say it would be: “Peu importe” (It doesn’t matter much) or “Ça m’est égal.” (“It’s egal to me“).
Check the “Synonyms” chapter below for all the variations (including the informal ones).
Someone asks you which is your favorite football team, but you don’t care about football… you can say “Le foot, ça me passe par dessus la tête.” (I don’t care about football)

And it’s: “Ça m’en touche une sans faire bouger l’autre.” which means “It’s touching one without the second one moving“. And it’s talking about…men’s genitals. Classy, huh?
