[ButterTart]

I mean, this is the first one all night that sounds like a song actual humans might listen to voluntarily. I don't begrudge Ireland this win because it's so far removed from the annual punishment beatings of the 1990s.

 

[dmlaw]

Can report that the non-joiking Norwegian was found dead in 2016. No cause of death was determined, which I think probably means that Stella Mwangi killed him.

 

[Penelope]

Well it's all very LOVELY AND SEVENTIES but I still have no clue exactly why he's so huge in a way that sets Swedes all A-FLUTTER whenever he turns up

 

[Lucille]

WHATS ANOTHER YEAR TO SOMEONE WHOS GETTING USED TO BEING ALONE

A bit close to home in today’s environment!

And QUITE DEAD

Fucking Hell did a plane crash into the after party? The mortality rate for a contest less than 40 years old is astonishing.

 

[Lucille]

PURE CORN?

 

[Lucille]

Fucking Hell did a plane crash into the after party? The mortality rate for a contest less than 40 years old is astonishing.

At least that’d liven this show up!!!

 

[Penelope]

I can confirm that the song title means "Where is the data tonight?"

 

[Lucille]

Oooooh actually

 

[ButterTart]

Boycie on the left bringing the hip action.

 

[Lucille]

The first genuinely fuckable man on the evening

 

[Soldi]

What a LOVELY MOUSTACHE

 

[Lucille]

DRAMA!

 

[ButterTart]

The first genuinely fuckable man on the evening

The one in the middle?

I FUCKING TOLD YOU ONCE, AIR TRAVEL HADN'T BEEN INVENTED YET

 

[Lucille]

TEN

 

[dmlaw]

I FUCKING TOLD YOU ONCE, AIR TRAVEL HADN'T BEEN INVENTED YET

That's right. It was a hot air balloon.

 

[ButterTart]

I FUCKING TOLD YOU ONCE, AIR TRAVEL HADN'T BEEN INVENTED YET

Well a Hindenburg or a Penny Farthing or whatever you used to use back in those days, then.

In fairness it didn't start or middle on a high, either.

 

[Lucille]

Spain, Turkey, Ireland and Morocco are the only ones that have got a twitch from me.

And maybe the penguins.

Ooh what voting system are you using love? Have they announced a new one for the GRAND RETURN IN 2021.

 

[Penelope]

OMG it's JUST LIKE LA ROUX

 

[Lucille]

SYNTHS

 

[lolly]

It actually DOES end on a high

Of sorts

 

[Soldi]

OMG it's JUST LIKE LA ROUX

Better than BULLETPROOF

 

[dmlaw]

I can't better wikipedia's description of this song as a 'cheerful bleepy song with deliberately banal lyrics'.
