Koochy

"Koochy" is a song by American DJ Armand Van Helden. It was released in May 2000 as the lead single from his album Killing Puritans. It heavily samples Gary Numan's 1979 single "Cars". Although the lyrics seems to comprise sexual references, the title actually points back to Numan's song, as the word kocsi means "car" in the hungarian language.
