 Musically, Thiéfaine draws mostly from classic rock, with rare nods to the latest musical trends, and generally leaves the arranging to a collaborator.His songs are most notable for instantly recognisable lyrics, with their trademark streams of consciousness, surreal and often extreme or dark imagery, often tinged with comedy, cynicism, literary references, neologisms and liberal use of scientific, long or foreign words.The lyrical mayhem sometimes spreads into comically long song titles, such as "Enfermé dans les cabinets (avec la fille mineure des 80 chasseurs)", or "Exercice de simple provocation avec 33 fois le mot « coupable »."
