"Ça plane pour moi" (French pronunciation: [sa plan puʁ mwa]) is a 1977 song by Belgian musician Plastic Bertrand. The music is also used in the 1977 song "Jet Boy, Jet Girl" by Elton Motello.
The song has been covered by many artists, though the original recording was the most successful, reaching No. 8 on the UK Singles Chart in mid-1978. While mainly regarded as a punk rock song, "Ça plane pour moi" has also been described as new wave and as a parody or pastiche of punk rock. The title is a French idiom that is best translated as "this works for me" (literally: "it is gliding for me").
