Budet rose to fame on MySpace when she posted a song titled "Short Dick Cuizi", dissing Cuizinier, a member of the Parisian hip-hop group TTC.

With producer and close friend GrandMarnier, Budet has recorded a début album Pop-Up, after her hit single "Je veux te voir" (a finalised version of "Short Dick Cuizi"). The song, which samples the bassline from 20 Fingers' 1994 club hit Short Dick Man, received heavy airplay on MTV. She was also featured on Fatal Bazooka's song "Parle à ma main" in 2007. In February 2008 she performed the track "À cause des Garçons" on the BBC Three series "Lily Allen and Friends". The series claimed that this was her first appearance on UK television. She was MTV's 'Artist of the Week' for the week of 24th March-30th March 2008, appearing during adverts.

Yelle's second single "A cause des garçons/ACDG" is a cover song from an homonym 80's French band. A remixed version of the track by Riot in Belgium was featured on the soundtrack of Electronic Arts' computer game; Need for Speed: ProStreet. The song was also used as the opening song for the Moschino Spring Summer 2008 runway show

As of 2008, it is also featured in an advert being broadcast in Quebec for Telus, a Canadian telecommucations company and the 24th March episode of 'The Hills'. Her single "Je veux te voir" was featured on the series 4 final episode of Entourage, in the opening scene when the gang arrives in Cannes, and her single "Ce jeu" was played on Gap's and H & M's shop soundtrack in summer 2008.

The DJ Tepr has been touring with her and already remixed three Yelle's songs "A cause des garçons/ACDG" , "Je veux te Voir/Short Dick Cuizi" and "Ce Jeu".

Hi
Mon nom est je m′appelle
Celle qui emmêle
Les consonnes et les voyelles
Je suis internationale

Hola, que tal
Hola, que tal
Hola, que tal
Hola que, hey

I speak a little bit
You don't understand
But I speak a little bit
And I′m sure you are my friend

You are my friend
You are my friend
You are my friend
You are my...

J'aime les gens
Je trouve ça bien
Quand on se fait tous des câlins
Quand on mélange nos voyelles
Qu'on se fait la courte échelle

J′aime moins
Les consonnes
De ceux qu′on n'a pas sonnés
J′appuie sur l'interphone

Je suis interpassionnée

Bonjour

Do you know Mafalda
Do you speak Portuguese

J′aime les gens

Quand on se fait tous des câlins
Quand on mélange nos voyelles
Qu'on se fait la courte échelle

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Yelle's song "Interpassion" convey a sense of international connection and unity. The repeated lines of greeting, such as "Hola, que tal" and "Bonjour, Como te llamas" show an appreciation for different cultures and languages. Yelle, in her unique way, emphasizes this connection by playing with words, both consonants and vowels, and expressing her fondness for people and their ability to come together.

The chorus, "J'aime les gens, Je trouve ça bien, Quand on se fait tous des câlins, Quand on mélange nos voyelles, Qu'on se fait la courte échelle" translates to "I love people, I find it good, When we all hug each other, When we mix our vowels, When we make a ladder together." This shows a desire for inclusivity, embracing diversity, and creating a supportive and connected community.

Yelle also mentions her love for consonants and disliking those that have not been pronounced, suggesting that she values clear and honest communication. The use of the phrase "Je suis interpassionnée" throughout the song emphasizes her passion for this international connection and highlights her strong belief in the power of coming together.
