    • 1980, “Dans Mon H.L.M.”, in Marche à l'ombre, performed by Renaud:
      Au rez-d’-chaussée, dans mon HLM
      Y a une espèce de barbouze
      Qui surveille les entrées
      Qui tire sur tout c’qui bouge
      Surtout si c’est bronzé
      Passe ses nuits dans les caves
      Avec son Beretta
      Traque les mômes qui chouravent
      (please add an English translation of this quotation)
