    • 1972, Charles Aznavour (lyrics and music), “Comme ils disent”, in Idiote, je t'aime…:
      Et là on s’en donne à cœur-joie / Et sans complexe / On déballe des vérités / Sur des gens qu’on a dans le nez / On les lapide / Mais on le fait avec humour / Enrobé dans des calembours / Mouillés d’acide
      (please add an English translation of this quotation)
