The group is chiefly famous for its frontman, real name Didier Chapedelaine, chief lyricist and singer. He deliberately sings off-key and often high-pitched, so has a recognisable voice. His on-stage energy, and crowd-surfing, are major features of the band's live shows, and, since the release of the album Kiss (2000), he comes into the crowd after each performance to hug members of the audience and give them a kiss on each cheek.

Je n'ai plus qu'une idée
Laquelle?

Les Wampas's song "Denise" is a catchy and upbeat track that tells a story about the singer's infatuation with a girl named Denise. The lyrics convey the singer's desire to finally speak to Denise and share his feelings with her. The repetition of "Deeeniiiiiiise, my love" sets the tone for the song and the heartfelt lyrics paint a picture of young love and desire. The song expresses the hope that one day the singer will get to express his feelings to Denise and share his secrets with her. The chorus alone captures the essence of the song with the lines, "Since I saw you, I only have one idea, which is to be able to talk to you one day, to tell you things, things that are just for you, and that I have on my heart."
