The lyrics are filled with comedic elements, as the protagonist describes his surprise and immediate attraction upon seeing her, despite the awkwardness of the situation.

The song's humor is amplified by the repetitive and catchy chorus, where Boublil sings about seeing his friend's mother on ChatRoulette and his instant infatuation. The use of playful language and repetition, such as "fête-fête" and "bête-bête," adds to the lighthearted and whimsical tone of the song.
