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".

A Cause Des Gars
Yelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Encore un plan gros ça-comme
De quel plan tu causes, tu oses
C'est toi qu'a commencé
J'abandonne, t'es vraiment plus bonne
A pas grand chose, tu déconnes
Ben tu vois lui me trouve super bonne
A cause des garçons
On met des bas nylon
On se crêpe le chignon
A cause des garcons
Et du, "Qu'en dira-t-on"
On pleure sur tous les tons
A cause des garçons
On s'allume pour de bon
A cause des garçons
Carabine, c'est le mot qui m'vient
Quand je pense à mes copines
Et moi j'ai ma dose, sans dec
De tes 'Dos' de Ginette
J'hallucine, faut qu'on te vaccine
Tout ça pour un mec de frime
Tu déprimes, j'te le laisse si c'est ton style
C'est la faute des ma-, des magazines
Des Marie, des Claire, des Marie-Claire
Les Fig les mag, beaucoup trop clairs
Les femmes d'aujourd'hui et d'hier
C'est la faute des ma-, des magazines
Des Marie, des France, des Marie-France
Les femmes pratiques qui en ont pas marre
Des Cosmo, Vogue et tout l'bazar
A cause des garçons
On se presse le citron
On fond comme des glaçons
A cause des garcons
On glisse comme des savons
A cause des garçons
On se brouille pour de bon
A cause des garçons
The lyrics to Yelle's "A Cause Des Garзons" explore the pressures and expectations placed on women by society and men. The chorus, "A cause des garçons, on met des bas nylon, on se crêpe le chignon" translates to "Because of the boys, we wear nylon stockings and style our hair up." The song delves into how women feel compelled to dress and behave a certain way to attract male attention and approval, and how this can lead to insecurities and competition between women.
The verses contain a back-and-forth between two women, one of whom is seemingly more focused on impressing men and the other who is over it. The line, "Carabine, c'est le mot qui m'vient quand je pense а mes copines" translates to "Carbine, that's the word that comes to mind when I think of my girlfriends" and implies that women can be pitted against each other and made to feel like rivals in the pursuit of male attention.
Overall, the song critiques the societal pressures placed on women to conform to certain beauty standards and behaviors in order to please men, and encourages women to support each other rather than compete.
