"Vous permettez, Monsieur?" is a song by Italian-Belgian singer, Salvatore Adamo. The song topped the Tijd Voor Teenagers Top 10 chart for eleven weeks and ended up being the best-selling single of the year in the Netherlands by the close of 1964, with over 200,000 copies sold. It also achieved the highest ranking on the annual points-based list.

The lyrics narrate a story where a young man wishes to take a girl to a party and, in accordance with tradition, seeks her father's permission. He assures the father that he will conduct himself properly, just as the father did before his own marriage.

Adamo's rendition of this song on the show Voor de vuist weg, accompanied by his much younger brother and sisters, left a lasting impression on the audience.
