"Fous ta cagoule" (French for "Put your balaclava on") is a song by the comedy rap group Fatal Bazooka with Michaël Youn, the first single from its album T'As Vu ? released in 2007. This song achieved a huge success in France and Belgium.

The single peaked at #1 in France in January 2007. As of August 2014, the song was the 31st best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 488,500 units sold.
