"Aux arbres citoyens" is a 2007 song recorded by French singer Yannick Noah. It was his second single from his successful album ''Charango'', on which it features as third track, and his 12th single overall. Released on February 2007, the song became a hit in France, where it was Noah's first number-one hit, and in Belgium (Wallonia). ==Song information== The song was written and the music composed by Christophe Battaglia and Cyril Tarquiny. The title refers to the line ''Aux armes, citoyens!'' in the chorus of ''La Marseillaise'' but the words 'aux armes' ('to arms') are replaced by 'aux arbres' ('to the trees'), because the song deals with an ecological theme, explaining in the lyrics the need to mobilize to find solutions. The music video was produced as an animated feature and illustrates the lyrics. The song was included on many French compilations, such as ''Hit Connection - Best of 2007'', ''NRJ Summer Hits Only 2007'', ''Été 2007'' and ''M6 Hits''. On French TV show ''La Chanson de l'année'', hosted by Flavie Flament on TF1 on June 1, 2007, "Aux arbres citoyens" was awarded "Song of the Year" thanks to an exclusive poll directed by the IFOP,〔"La chanson de l'année est...
