"L'Orange" is a 1964 song recorded by French singer and songwriter Gilbert Bécaud. It was covered in 2003 by the contestants of the French third version of the TV reality show Star Academy, and achieved a great success in France and Belgium (Wallonia), where it topped the chart for several weeks. In January 2004, thanks to the cover version, the original one by Gilbert Bécaud was charted for five weeks on the French Singles Chart, but peaked only at #89. ["L'Orange" (original version), French Singles Chart [http://lescharts.com/showitem.asp?key=91036&cat=s Lescharts.com] (Retrieved September 30, 2008)]

The B-side of the CD single is "Wot!", a cover version of Captain Sensible's 1980s hit.

In the video, the participants of the Star Academy 3 perform the song in a market, and Michal Kwiatkowski, the finalist, is accused of having robbed an orange.
