"Joe le taxi" (English: "Joe the Taxi Driver") is a song written for French singer-actress Vanessa Paradis by Franck Langolff and Étienne Roda-Gil. The song topped the SNEP Singles Chart for 11 weeks, and, uncommonly for a French-language song at that time, was released in the UK and Ireland the following year, peaking at numbers three and two, respectively. The music video for the song was produced by Lili Balian, Jake Hertz, and Addie Calcagnini. The song was later included on her debut album, M&J (short for "Marilyn & John").
