Musical Style
The second album from Les Trois Accords was released September 5, 2006. This album did not break with the rock-pop style of Gros Mammouth and was more outrageous in its lyrics. The music video for Grand Champion can be viewed at Bande à part. The second music video is "Tout nu sur la plage". The album rose to the top of the charts after its first week.
Many of their newer songs can be classified as surrealist because of the frequent presence of puns, word play, and unusual images.
They also like to embellish their concerts with little pieces of humour. The sense of humour is also evident in their music videos where the images being shown have nothing do to with the song. We see, for example, in the music video for "Saskatchewan", the band members practising ninjutsu moves for the whole video. The same goes for the music video for "Turbo sympathique" where the group becomes firemen and puts out a barn fire.

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or style:
“A pregnant woman and her spouse dream of three babies—the perfect four-month-old who rewards them with smiles and musical cooing, the impaired baby, who changes each day, and the mysterious real baby whose presence is beginning to be evident in the motions of the fetus.”
—T. Berry Brazelton (20th century)
“Sometimes among our more sophisticated, self-styled intellectuals—and I say self-styled advisedly; the real intellectual I am not sure would ever feel this way—some of them are more concerned with appearance than they are with achievement. They are more concerned with style then they are with mortar, brick and concrete. They are more concerned with trivia and the superficial than they are with the things that have really built America.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
