It really doesn't take so much efforts to write a letter/email to this french band beforehand and inform them that he used the song in a lecture and wants to put the lecture on Youtube and thus is asking for permission. There will be very very few copyright owners who would refuse such a request.

The point is, that according to the law, using a clip of a song in an educational lecture is considered fair use, and he doesn't HAVE to ask permission. Should a professor have to ask permission every time they speak a quote from a book to a class, or what about a music history teacher? If they play a piece of a song to their class for demonstration purposes, should they have to ask permission?
