Paul Mauriat, Jeff Beck, Claudine Longet, The Dells, Ed Ames, Johnny Mathis, Marty Robbins, Al Martino, Chara, Michèle Torr, Stephin Merritt (of Future Bible Heroes) have recorded covers of the song. A version of the song is also heard in the background of a scene in the 2008 film Pineapple Express. Mauriat's version is also briefly heard in The Simpsons episode ' There's No Disgrace Like Home'. During the episode, the omnipresent melody is used by a kidnapper to brainwash a group of youths. Paul Mauriat's instrumental version was featured repeatedly in an episode of Chris Carter's television series ' Millennium', titled ' A Room With No View' (originally aired on Apon the Fox Network). The song was played in the Michael Moore documentary Sicko, in the scene where a French doctor makes house calls at night, driving a SOS Médecins car. In 2006 an instrumental of the song's chorus was used in a television advert for Lynx Dry anti-perspirant in the UK and Australia. It has become familiar to millions of Soviet TV viewers as a tune that accompanied weather forecasts in the daily news program Vremya Template:Fact. Now-a-days the song 'L'amour est bleu' is noted as one of the most covered and biggest selling Eurovision Songs ever. It was succeeded as Luxembourgish representative at the 1968 Contest by Chris Baldo & Sophie Garel with ' Nous vivrons d'amour'. The song has since become a favourite of Contest fans, most notably appearing as part of a medley introducing the semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 in Athens, one of only two non-winning songs to be involved (the other being Dschinghis Khan). Further to this Vicky Leandros recorded the song in Greek, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch as well. Greek born Vicky Leandros recorded the song both in French and English, and had a modest hit in Europe with it, but in Japan and Canada she had a big hit with this song. 'L'amour est bleu' was one of very few non-winning entries to become a hit. At the close of voting, it had received 17 points, placing 4th in a field of 17, behind ' Il doit faire beau là-bas' (France), ' If I Could Choose' ( Ireland) and the winning song, ' Puppet on a String' (United Kingdom). The song was performed second on the night.
