"Parle à ma main" (French for "Talk to my hand") is a song recorded by French act Fatal Bazooka featuring Yelle and released on October 15, 2007. It was the fifth and last single from the album T'as vu. It was particularly successful in France and Belgium (Wallonia), where it was a number one hit for many weeks.
Music video In the music video, David Guetta's hit single "Love Is Gone" can be heard at the beginning and is sung by Fatal Bazooka (portrayed by Michaël Youn). French actor Vincent Desagnat features in the video, while French singers Vitaa and Diam's are mentioned in the lyrics. A sequence in a gymnasium is inspired by the music video for Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl," particularly in the featuring of a brass band and some majorettes.
