It's funny for American's to hear those words used so innocently in a song, especially when sung by such of a prominent group of respected singers. Over here, in America, the words "F..U" are very offensive and are generally used as such. For Europeans to understand how the words "F.. U" are seen over here (by most people, but not the "Yo! Yo! Yo! RAP crowd") it would probably be like saying, "You're mother is a whore!" Fighting words, definitely.
The words "F..U" are usually used (but not always) when trying to insult or belittle someone, or as we say, "get in someone's face." It's a cultural difference. Anyway, that's why I think it's so funny to see Les Enfoirés singing that song. Poor little Alizée.. I'm just glad I didn't see her lips saying those 2 magic words.
