A French MP has said he is outraged that the song chosen to represent the nation in the Eurovision song contest has English lyrics....

France's culture minister has defended the song, saying the country should fully support his bid for victory....

Mr Myard, himself a fluent English speaker, said it was not appropriate that, in a European contest, France should "monkey another's culture"....

Not too keen on Abba's "Waterloo" then?

Nothing to lose. Better than finish 22nd on 24 as usual. :D
