Garçon (song)

2007 single by Koxie

"Garçon" is the debut single by French singer Koxie, from her eponymous debut album, on which it features as the third track. It topped the charts of France and Belgium for two months.

Background

"Garçon, si t'enlèves la cédille
Ça fait garcon
Et gare aux cons ma fille
Gare aux cons..."

— Beginning of the refrain

Koxie created her Myspace page with her first single "Garçon" also known under the title "Gare aux cons". The song evokes, with humour, the exasperation of a young woman towards the stupidity (sexism and vulgarity) of some men (boys in the text). The song is based on a Dr. Dre sample, which is itself based on a Charles Aznavour recording.[1]

The song was a huge success online as well as on singles charts.[2] Koxie released the single on the AZ label on 25 June 2007. To promote the song, she performed "Garçon" on many French programmes.

The song is also available on many French compilations, such as Hits 2 en 1 2007 Vol. 3, Hits 2008, Starfloor Vol. 7, NRJ Hit Music Only! 200
