The lyrics from Ultra Vomit's song "Les bonnes manières" (Good Manners) are a humorous take on the proper etiquette and good manners we are taught growing up. The opening lines emphasize how we shouldn't put our fingers in our nose or our elbows on the table, as they are considered impolite. Following that, the song encourages us to be respectful, polite, and kind, essentially reminding us to be good human beings. The song takes a comical and exaggerated approach as it employs a list of simple and straightforward rules that one is expected to follow. The name-calling in the middle is for comic relief, but it also adds a note of frustration towards those who fail to follow them. The final lines reinforce the message that good manners are essential.
The song's hilarious nature comes from the description of the punishments that will result if someone fails to follow good manners. The lyrics threaten violence and physical aggression as a means of enforcing the rules of good manners, an extreme measure. Therefore, the song's light humor is evident as the threats are comically disproportionate to the offense or natural consequences. The song seems to suggest that there are no second chances for people who do not comprehend good manners' importance.
