"Parle à ma main" is a song by French comedy rap act Fatal Bazooka featuring Yelle, released as a single on October 15, 2007. It was the fifth and final single from the album *T'as vu*. The song is a humorous take on R&B, with lyrics about dismissive attitudes and teenage girl stereotypes. The title is inspired by the English phrase "Talk to the hand," and the song popularized the expression in France.
The music video, directed by Nicolas Benamou, features Michaël Youn portraying Fatal Bazooka and also in drag as Fatal's sister, Christelle Bazooka. It also includes a cameo by French actor Vincent Desagnat. The video contains references to David Guetta's "Love Is Gone" and Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl".
