1967 single by Jacques Dutronc
"J'aime les filles (si vous êtes comme ça téléphonez moi)" (French pronunciation: [ʒɛm le fij], lit. 'I like girls') is a 1967 single by French singer-songwriter Jacques Dutronc.
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.
