A vestige of authentic Euro-vision

The French Eurovision entry this year was a thing of rare heterotopic complexity. Combining all of the best elements of the Gibb brothers' hairstyles circa 1977, Sebastien Tellier was propelled on stage in a golf cart and backed by identically bearded singers of indeterminate gender; the song as performed on stage featured an inflated transparent ball - which may have represented the planet - as an accessory to its sub-Pulp (but higher-pitched) evocation of a purported divinity inherent in a loved creature and/or transcendent being (or possibly an immanent being raised to the power of the transcendent). The vaguely 'yeh-yeh' backing vocals of a machinic monotony and precision ceased for the singer to go on one knee, in a gesture reminiscent of Johnny Logan, completely pause for a second, and to deliver the line concerning divinity once more. Including the line 'this is a token line in French' or something along those lines (in French) the song delivered a nice reminder of the lost linguistic exoticism of the Eurovision Song Contest and replied to the furore caused by the decision of FR3's voting public to select a song performed in English. Luckily youtube preserves the performance, even if I still can't identify the globe. Apparently the semi-final version was even better.
