The song's title refers to a 1970s popular dance and was also used for Hazard's best of album, Le Jerk, released in July 2001.

Elia Habib, a specialist of the French charts, considers that this is due to the "modern and lively writing" of the song.

Both are eagerly awaiting the end of each day to take the bus to go dancing the jerk at 'Le Club à Gogo'.

There, they meet, fall in love, get married and give birth to quadruplets, named Gustave, Alphonse, Arthur and Philibert.

In France, the single debuted at number 38 on the chart edition of 16 June 1990, almost did not stop to climb on the chart every week and eventually reached a peak of number two on 27 October, in his 20th week of presence, just behind UB40's hit "Kingston Town".
