12 France - Allez Ola Olé - Jessy Matador

12 - 82 pts / not in semi
Frances Eurovision song Allez Ola Olé by Jessy Marador is a clever tie-in with the 2010 South Africa Football World Cup, but it contrary to previous announcements is not the official French world cup theme.
The song is written by Hugues Ducamin and Jacques Ballue.
The version performed at Eurovision has a different arrangement which is not on any of the recordings below.

A cdsingle is released on Wagram on the 25th of May. (Wagram 3219255)
