"Koochy" is a song by American DJ Armand Van Helden. It was released on May 8, 2000, as the lead single from his fourth studio album, Killing Puritans (2000). It heavily samples Gary Numan's 1979 single "Cars". Although the lyric seems to comprise sexual references, the title actually points back to Numan's song, as the word "kocsi" means "car" in Hungarian.
