"Le Casse de Brice" is a 2005 song recorded by the French comedian and actor Jean Dujardin.

Released as his first solo single on March 2005, the song reached the top five in Belgium (Wallonia) and France.

ong information

The song used a sample from George Benson's song "Gimme the Night", which was also sampled in 1994 by the French band IAM for their number-one hit "Je danse le Mia".

The music video was directed by John Gabriel Biggs. It is composed of various images from the film.

"Le Casse de Brice" features on many French compilations, such as "Hit Machine 2005 Vol. 20", "Now! Hits Référence 2005", "Crazy Kids" and "Hits & Co 3".
