"Michèle" is a song by French singer Gérard Lenorman[1] released in early 1976 as the first single from his album Drôles de chansons.
The song tells the story of two Parisian high school students who experience their first love between the ages of 15 to 17.
Originally, the song was to be titled "Marcelle",[3] but when Barbelivien showed it to Lenorman, the singer instantly decided to rename it to "Michèle" as a tribute to The Beatles[4][5] and also because, as he said, the name "goes so well with the song".
Lenorman recalls: "I'm replying to him that, well, it is not my aunt's name and that 'Marcelle' won't do it at all."
Then, Barbelivien said he was worried about the similarity to the title of The Beatles' song "Michelle".
