"Le Frunkp" is a 2002 song performed by the fictional character Alphonse Brown (portrayed by Michaël Youn), the "unknown son" of James Brown, who tries to start his own career by creating a new (fictional) style called "Frunkp" (a mixture of funk and rap), in French film La Beuze,[1] written by Youn and Desagnat. The music video shows images from film.
The song became a hit, topping the charts in all countries where it was released. As of August 2014, the song was the 16th best-selling single of the 21st century in France, with 573,000 units sold.[2]
