A Eurovision Winner?

[Buenchico]

Here's the chorus of this year's UK entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.  Unless the rest of the song is substantially better, I can't see it winning!

(You need to click the speaker icon, at the bottom of the video, to enable the sound - although I don't think that you'll be missing much if you don't bother!)

I thought it was quite catchy.

[Canary42]

How awful, a sure winner.

[Buenchico]

^^^ If being awful is what really counts, Canary42, I reckon that the Irish entry has definitely got a head start in the contest ;-)

I agree Chris, it's doubly awful!!

Yes, EM1, I won't be placing any bets on the UK entry to win!

[Buenchico]

A third attempt with the link!

[Canary42]

Yes Chris, that's a strong competitor certainly.

 

Why do they have to be so excruciatingly painful.

 

Bring back ABBA.

 

Or, perish the thought, Cliff Richard.

 

[elliemay1]

... or Sandie Shaw?

[Buenchico]

Canary42:
Perhaps we should bring back . . .

. . . and, then again, perhaps NOT!

[Buenchico]

The best Eurovision song ever - and not just because I've got the hots for Ilse DeLange 😊

EM1:
Bare feet on stage would probably contravene Health & Safety rules these days!

[Arksided]

Bare feet on stage would probably contravene Health & Safety rules these days!

... and listenining to the songs doesn't.

The OP song sounds a mix of three other songs thrown together.

[JACKSON-REACHER]

It would have been better not to see the video.

The sound was OK but the fashion/look of the singer was extremely off putting. He looked like a younger, creepier David Walliams in a schoolgirl skirt.

Null points from me.

[Buenchico]

^^^ Only three, Arky?

[Buenchico]

>>> "It would have been better not to see the video"

. . . or possibly not to have heard it either, in my opinion, J-R!

[Canary42]

Never mind the bare feet - what about the Buck's Fizz blokes ripping the girls skirts off.  

That would be sexual assault (inappropriate touching) these days.

[Arksided]

Well erm... first listen sounded that familiar only three sprung to mind... gotta say some talent on stage with Scooch... shame about the song 😉

[JACKSON-REACHER]

This song from Eurovion 1958 took on another life after the contest...

[JACKSON-REACHER]

Apology: what I referred to earlier as a skirt, is apparently a kilt. Though the singer is English and the garment is not tartan, it is a manly kilt and not a womanly mini skirt.

Confusing times, indeed.
