It has nearly 2 million views on Youtube, it is a worldwide, underground phenomenon and I cannot get enough of it. "Divine" by French singer Sebastien Tellier is a crazy cavalcade of lunacy. The song, off Tellier's 2008 album Sexuality, was the French entry for the renowned Eurovision Song Contest where it was harshly criticized for being primarily in English to the point of getting the French Parliament involved, partially helping it to place a low 18th out of 25th within the contest.
Despite the controversy, the song peaked high on Belgian, Swedish, Danish, and UK Singles charts throughout 2008 and the video has become an even greater success with the help of comical montages featuring the singer in strange situations amongst people of various backgrounds.
I promise this is the funniest music video you will ever see.
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…
(In case you were wondering, "Chivers" is apparently a fictitious high school band in the movie "Steak" that Tellier was in and composed for.)
