Mordi at Blowupdoll (link) has just posted the video to one of the best French pop songs, ever- "Boule de Flipper" by Corynne Charby. I know nothing of her apart from what's on Wikipedia, so, she was a model who went into movies, had a tiny bit of success, then in the mid-80s, released some music. As far as I understand, BdF was her biggest hit, and deservedly so. It's full of great imagery which I'm not going to try and explain, in case I get it totally wrong and someone with native French spots my mistakes. Just trust me, it's amazing.
*I do have the single version, somewhere, but can't find it. If I do, I'll post it, but I like the 12" version more, anyway.
"Boule de Flipper" (12" version) (mp3)
EDIT: I found it- "Boule de Flipper" (single edit) (mp3)
