"Tous les garçons et les filles" (English: "All the Boys and Girls") is a song by French popular singer Françoise Hardy, released in 1962. ==Background== The tune recounts the feelings of a young person who has never known love and her envy of the couples that surround her. It was telecast on the evening of Sunday, October 28, 1962 in a musical interlude during the results of the 1962 referendum to allow direct election of the president of the French Republic.〔Françoise Hardy, ''Le Désespoir des singes… et autres bagatelles'', éd. Robert Laffont, Paris, 2008, p. 49.〕 The song quickly became a success, selling 500,000 copies by the end of the year, and eventually selling over 700,000 copies in France.〔(Bestsellers Les Meilleures Ventes Tout Temps de 45 T. / Singles, InfoDisc ), accessed on line April 30, 2009.〕 Additionally, it is quoted several times by the main characters in J. L. Carr's 1988 novel ''What Hetty Did''.
