"A caus' des garçons" or "A cause des garçons" (French: "Because of the Boys") is a song first released by the French duo À Caus' des Garçons comprising Laurence Heller and Hélène Bérard in 1987. It was covered by French trio Yelle on their 2007 debut album Pop Up, released as its second single.

The French trio Yelle covered "A cause des garçons" in 2007 for their debut album, Pop Up. It was released as the album's second single. The Riot in Belgium remix of the song is featured on the soundtrack to the Electronic Arts video games Need for Speed: ProStreet and Euro 2008.

In the song's music video, directed by Nima Nourizadeh, singer Julie Budet is seen singing and dancing in her room while getting ready for a few photoshoots for magazine covers. This all happens amid giant dancing objects played by dressed up men.

A Tecktonik version of the song also exists, made by French producer Tepr. This electro version of the song was accompanied by a music video directed by Bastien Lattanzio and Guillaume Berg. The video featured Tecktonik dancers Treaxy and Vavan dancing on the street beside the letters of the word "Yelle".
