with way more constraints than we have now, singing these really fucked-up insipid heterosexual love songs." Songs Deceptacon Opening track "Deceptacon" references Barry Mann's 1961 single "Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)" by asking "Who took the Bomp from the Bompalompalomp?". It denounces a decline in meaningful lyrics in rock music. Hanna expressed frustration that riot grrrl had been transformed into icons like the Spice Girls. The song was popularized by online videos of its "aerobicon" choreography. "Deceptacon" was featured in the 2006 Norwegian film Reprise, the 2003 skateboarding film Yeah Right!, the 2015 documentary film Hurricane of Fun: The Making of Wet Hot, the 2014 animated film The Book of Life, a Pandora Radio advertisement featuring British virtual band Gorillaz, the fourth episode of the Netflix series Special and the trailer for the 2019 film Between Two Ferns: The Movie. The song sparked a collaboration between Le Tigre and Christina Aguilera. Hot Topic "Hot Topic" was released as the album's only single. It is a list song of people whose work inspired the band.

My My Metrocard "My My Metrocard" is a go-go song about escapism and exploration. It uses a call-and-response pattern to condemn then-New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, whose policies against quality-of-life crimes the band opposed. Critical reception Le Tigre received positive reviews from music critics. The Village Voice writer Robert Christgau wrote that "Hanna does the unprecedented—if not, apparently, impossible—and reinvents punk again." AllMusic described Le Tigre as sounding "like the best new wave album not to come from the 1980s." Pitchfork called the album's songwriting "less didactic than Bikini Kill's
