choccoweebleWell hopefully much amusement was had last evening - it certainly was at our house.
As predicted our entry was appauling with the group dressed as aircrew doing a kind of dambusters rendition (you remember "Oh.. I.. Am A Music Man right?) Didn't think it could get any worse, despite one of the guys chipping in with annoying in flight service questions, until at the end he asked "Would you like anything to suck on landing Sir?" Cringe-a-rama!!
Needless to say our points scoring was abysmal, in fact we were the only country on "nil points" for quite some while (kind of wanted it to stay that way in a rather sadistic fashion).
Still there were one or two equally bad entries, although they seemed to do rather better in the voting. In fact the only one I thought was worse actually came second. This was the Ukraine, Christ only knows what the song was about except for the shreiking of one, two, three in German at the beginning of every chorus. They were dressed in silver foil with ridiculous hats and seem to have been headed up by Timmy Mallet and Dame Edna's love child.
Prize for insane but will do well cause we're sexy entry goes to Russia, three schoolgirls dressed in very short skirts. Hmmmmmmmm. Anyway credibility aside (who expected any of that at Eurovision anyway?) the song was incomprehensible.
"Don't call me funny bunny
I'll take your money, yummy"
I mean really. Clearly they missed the point that there is more to song writing than making it "rhyme".
Turkey won the prize for sleeze, the guy was so slimy he made my skin crawl, and at one point made![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shazrasha and I look at each other and go eeeeewwwwww. Not even sure what he was singing about either "Shake it Up, Shekerim" ??
Anyway, on to the enjoyable parts, the Greek entry was pretty good, quite slick and all the words made sense, plus a failry catchy tune
shazrasha particularly enjoyed the Romanian entry as they were all dressed in various national costumes and sung in 6 different languages. Dubious dancing but amusing nonetheless.
And fortunately the winning entry was good and (woot, woot for my Eurovision prowess) one of the 2 I had predicted would do well!! Yay the androgenous lesbian with her 5 bitches!!! Did you see the group hug at the end? She must have been in heaven.
Well anyway all this international activity has stimulated my "Want to learn Swedish" neuron, so have been amusingshazrasha with my errors for the past 12 hours. Was a little perturbed at first at the fact that I will always have to feel fine, as this is the only answer I know to the question how are you? This was before of course shazrasha pointed out that I am British, Why would I ever want to reply with anything else?
