I have zero recollection of this

I don't think the last decade and a half are poorer for it

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I've just read the lyrics.

Is this song about school shootings in the US?

All the songs this year were

Scuzz this up a bit and it would be decent. At least it sounds like it actually had real drums on it rather than being programmed then mimed.

Digiloo Thrush has a disturbing footnote linking this song to Japanese serial killer Tsutomu Miyazaki and his third victim Erika Namba

[AGinAg (37)]

Russia hadn't quite found their groove yet...

I had no idea Japan still had the death penalty in 2008.

 

[octophone]

WTF? Is it 1982?

 

[dmlaw]

Why does she keep fiddling with her neckline? Either pop out a tit or leave it alone.

 

[Generic Account]

Is this one about the Balkan wars too vor?

 

[Madison]

Did the graphics call this song "Zovi" instead of "Call Me"?

 

[D5K]

I had no idea Japan still had the death penalty in 2008.

It still has it now...

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Early ABBA if you took away everything good about them.

11/10.

 

[D5K]

I can’t help but grin at this

 

[octophone]

I'm imagining Wogan saying this is "one for the dads".

 

[Generic Account]

Did they run out of material for that one's skirt? How jarring.

 

[Penelope]

Is this one about the Balkan wars too vor?

It's about phone sex (during the Siege of Sarajevo)

 

[Raining on Me]

As much as I love dearest Helena and that song the Greek gods really were in her favour with that running order and everything that surrounded her.

Whilst Javine was snuffed out by song number 5, Helena really couldn't lose. And thank god because it's fabulous on all levels!

 

[Penelope]

Early ABBA if you took away everything good about them.

11/10.

 

[D5K]

Can I just say that Lako Je Sve was cruelly robbed?

 

[lolly]

This is objectively HORSESHIT

13/10

 

[Alla]

Well I loved this dated hot mess
