On the one hand, Bérurier Noir's music was clearly derived from British punk rock as far as music and lyrics were concerned. Most of their songs were short, aggressive and usually based on a couple of basic power chords. Their lyrics reflected the typical concerns of punks such as the rejection of consumerism, politics and traditional social order and the anger felt by disaffected youth, tramps and outsiders in general. On the other, they added some interesting innovations. Their rhythm section consisted of a cheap drum machine, which became an essential and arguably endearing part of their sound. The frequent use of a saxophone as of the mid-eighties also set them apart from most other punk rock bands.
They would regularly appear on record sleeves and on stage wearing clown outfits, mock police uniforms or pig masks. Their shows were a unique and highly festive cross between a punk rock concert, a grotesque circus and an anarchist rally.
By 1985, the band had grown to include François Guillemot (vocals), Loran (guitar), Pascal kung fu (saxophone), Helno (backing vocals), Laul aka Bol (backing vocals), la grande Titi (backing vocals), la petite Titi (backing vocals).
By 1987: François Guillemot (vocals), Loran (guitar), Masto (saxophone), Helno (backing vocals), Laul aka Bol (backing vocals), la grande Titi (backing vocals), la petite Titi (backing vocals).
By 1989: François Guillemot (vocals), Loran (guitar), Masto (saxophone), la petite Titi (backing vocals), Jojo (fire breather and backing vocals).
The band refused to make a profit and also to work. As a result, they lived precariously. In 1989, after three farewell concerts at the Paris Olympia, they disbanded. François later formed Molodoï and "François Béru et les Anges Déchus", Loran formed Ze6, Tromatism and later A.D. (Division de la horde).
On December 4, 2003, they reunited for the release of a DVD documenting their career. The concert took place in the context of the Transmusicales in Rennes. They have since played other concerts, in Quebec and in Belgium.

Cocktail de milliardaires, mixture de prolétaires
Fédération bordeaux, rassemblement porto
Sangria pro-Cuba, armée du pastis-roi
Syndicat du calva, coalition cognac
Trichlo pour les barjots, ligue des alcoolos
Groupuscule armagnac, avant-garde Ricard
Front uni du whisky, ordre de l'eau de vie
Fraction armée vin rouge, organe de la goutte
Mouvement d'action vin blanc, régiment blanc de blanc
Lutte pro-alcoolique, section Château-Lafitte
Elle est paf la girafe
Il a bu le zébu
Il est plein le caouin
Il est rond le dindon
Elle est paf la girafe, elle est paf
Il a bu le zébu, il a bu
Il est plein le caouin
Il est rond le dindon
Weah secte maître Kanter, et un demi, Marcel!
Autodéfense bourbon, et trois Duval, patron !
Brigade de mort subite, phalange des bouchers ivres
Contingent sous absinthe, un Ricard sinon rien
Groupe union Négrita, réseau secret vodka
Collectif anisette, l'armée est une canette
Parti des forces du rhum, division côtes-du-Rhône
Champagne républicain, vin de table cégétiste
Communauté rosée, troupe des matons bourrés
Légion de toutes les gnôles, père Magloire autonome
Gin international, saké ultrabrutal
Le commando Pernod frappe dans les bistros
Elle est paf la girafe

Elle est paf la girafe, elle est paf
Il a bu le zébu, il a bu
Il est plein le caouin

Weah des policiers bourrés tirent sur des immigrés
Des bidasses biturés brûlent un handicapé
Des vieilles mémés cuites agressent des vieux pépés
Des vigiles ivres morts frappent un clodo qui dort
Un beauf plein comme une huître viole sa fille à minuit
Un jeune complètement schlass se déchaîne au nunchak'
Une bergère pompette qui joue de la trompette
Et un travelo poivrot se branle sur un escargot
Elle est paf la girafe
Il a bu le zébu
Il est plein le caouin
Il est rond le dindon
Elle est paf la girafe, elle est paf
Il a bu le zébu, il a bu
Il est plein le caouin

The lyrics to Bérurier Noir's song "Commando Pernod" describe a group of people who are united by their love for alcohol. Each group is named after a type of alcohol and includes a mixture of different people from different backgrounds, such as "proletarians" and "billionaires." The groups all come together as the "Commando Pernod," a group that frequents bars and drinks heavily.
The song seems to be a commentary on the negative effects of alcohol and how it can bring people together in destructive ways. The final verses describe various violent and disturbing actions committed by drunk individuals, including police officers shooting immigrants and a father raping his own daughter.
Overall, "Commando Pernod" speaks to the dangers of excessive and irresponsible drinking, and the consequences that can come from it.
