"Qui a le droit..." was overdubbed as a duet in 2004 by Bruel with Ana Torroja (Mecano's member) for the albums Puzzle[1] and the compilation Duos.[2] Bruel also recorded a cover with Zazie, Isabelle Boulay, Corneille, Garou and Jean-Baptiste Maunier for Les Enfoirés' 2005 album Le Train des Enfoirés,[3] also available on the best of La Compil' (vol.3).[4] The children choir named Vox Angeli made also a cover of the song on its 2008 successful eponymous album.[5] Sowatt covered the song in a rock version. In 2016, Kids United covered the song on their album Tout le bonheur du monde and this version peaked at number 195 on the French Singles Chart. Bruel performed "Qui a le droit..." live at the 2008 Telethon in Roubaix.
The music video was shot in a live version : Bruel is playing the piano, and for a moment, tens of thousands of spectators perform the song instead of the singer.[6] The song was included on Bruel's albums Plaza de los heroes (1995), Patrick Bruel (2002), S'laisser aimer (triple best of, 2007) and Live - Des souvenirs... ensemble (2007).
In France, after a debut at number 5 on the chart edition of 2 November 1991, it topped the singles chart five weeks later and for non consecutives seven weeks, and totalled 20 weeks in the top ten and 25 weeks in the top 50.[7] It was the first live single to top the French chart and achieved Gold status awarded by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique.[8] On the European Hot 100, it debuted at number 24 on 16 November 1991 and reached number eight twice,[9] in its fourth and seventh weeks, and remained for 19 weeks on the chart.
