J'aime les filles
"J'aime les filles " is a 1967 single by French singer-songwriter Jacques Dutronc.
It reached number 1 in the French singles chart for two weeks from 6 May 1967.In 1977, Dutronc and co-writer Jacques Lanzmann sued an advertising agency for making use of an instrumental version of the song without permission. The agency successfully defended the claim, arguing that the extract they had used was identical in melody to an older song, differing only in rhythm. The case established a precedent in French law that applying a new rhythm to an existing tune does not create a new work for copyright purposes.Words by Jacques Lanzmann and music by Jacques Dutronc.Side B
