Thanks so much for sharing, I love it!

The title does in fact mean "old saussages" and there is imagery of hanging sausages in the song for a joke, but I believe that "vieux saucissons" in French is a way of saying "oldtimers". I've seen the phrase used to mean old classic songs, which is the case here.

This is another Stella song about music. She sings about unearthing, digging up old songs that were "covered in dust" and "almost at the cemetary". She says that adaptations and young idols are out and exhuming old songs is in. She makes a reference to the old songs "Les roses blanches" and "Riquita" in the beginning.
