The video and lyrics of the song violently attack social networks through the depiction of the Twitter bird, set to the tune of "Habanera" from Georges Bizet's opera Carmen.
[2][3] The song is an adaptation of the aria L'amour est un oiseau rebelle (Love is a rebellious bird – more commonly known in English as Habanera), from the opera Carmen by French composer Georges Bizet.
A little blue bird (with the appearance of nearly resembling a dwarf-like pigeon) arrives (representative of the mascot of Twitter) who starts to hum.
On the back of other identical birds, he sees other celebrities like Orelsan, Justin Bieber, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, Barack Obama, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, and many others.
At the end of the clip, another similar-looking blue bird comes to sing at the window of Stromae's sister's room, who strikes his cell phone, bookending the video.
