No no no no no no no
I'm looking for a band today
I see the Chivers anyway
Through my eyes

Oh oh oh
I... I'm alone in life to say
I love the Chivers anyway
'Cause Chivers look divine
Look away
They try to find the Milky Way
They love to drink it every day

No no no no no no no
You... you and I, it's like you said
I'm not a Chivers anyway
You look fine

Oh oh oh
I... I'm alone in life to say
I love the Chivers anyway
'Cause Chivers look divine
Look away
They try to find the Milky Way

I... toi et moi, c'est comme tu sais
Comment mon cœur a succombé
She looks fine

Oh oh oh
I'm looking for a band today
I see the Chivers anyway
I'll be a Chivers guy some day
In my mind

Dudu dududu dududu...
Dudu dududu dududu...
Du... dudu...

Best of 2008. Extremely original and cheerful. And the French entry with the most English. This song was even featured in an advertisement but don't recall what it was about. Overall, France has had one of the most aamzing entries throughout this decade and 2005, 2008 & 2009 are my personal favourites accordingly.

One of my favourite entries of 2008- so trendy and yet so up-beat and catchy. And it was used on the Renault Clio commercial

 

[DeepInsidePaulOscar]

One of my favourites too.
I had high hopes for it,but the performance on the night was one of the worst I've ever seen ! :shock:

 

[ParadiseES]

One of my favourites too.

Agree. I liked the song very much at first, but the performance pretty ruined everything. Indeed freaky, painful and nonsense...

It may be four years old now, but this song is still being used in adverts. Just heard it on a BBC promo for a French cookery show.

Sébastien Tellier sings a new song Cochon Ville (Pig City) and got the dancing audience naked.

Still very crazy

 

[Matt]

The French singer and songwriter has built a reputation for himself as one of the best acts in Europe and with his next amazing tour he aims to consolidate his reputation among European audiences. He will perform in nine countries as part of a tour promoting his new cult-inspired album My God Is Blue.
