"Est-ce que tu viens pour les vacances ?" is a 1988 pop song recorded by French vocal duet David et Jonathan. Written by Didier Barbelivien and Pascal Auriat with a music composed by duet member David Marouani, it was their third single from their 1988 album Cœur de gosse, on which it appears as the first track, and was released in May 1988. It achieved success in France, peaking at number three and thus becoming one of the summer hits of 1988.

Lyrics and music video

Lyrics were written by Didier Barbelivien, who had written the duet's previous single, "Gina". The phrase "a crocodile on your blouson" is sometimes viewed as an indirect reference to the trademark of Lacoste. The music video for "Est-ce que tu viens pour les vacances ?" was shot on a beach in Hammamet, Tunisia, and shows images of the duet playing piano and experiencing a summertime love with girls on a sunny beach, which is often considered as dated; however, duet member Jonathan Bermudes considered that it was perfectly in the style of the 1980s and that it remained in the memory of a whole generation. In 2013, Marouani said the song generates royalties which provide an amount of 5000 euros per year.

Cover versions

"Est-ce que tu viens pour les vacances ?" attracted attention after being parodied by Les Nuls under the title "Qu'est-ce que tu vends pour les vacances ?", with Alain Chabat et Dominique Farrugia in the roles of David and Jonathan.
