In this album Renaud again takes up socio-political themes. Le Tango des Élus mocks politicians, La ballade nord-irlandaise is a pacifist song evoking the troubles of Northern Ireland (later reprised in 2009's Molly Malone – Balade irlandaise), and 500 connards sur la ligne de départ makes fun of the "morons" who race in the African desert (i.e. the Paris-Dakar Rally), oblivious to the misery surrounding them.
