Eurovision rewatch: A Song for Europe 1995 MIDNIGHT 17/04/20

[dmlaw]

I bet the Americans were just waiting for a posh white boy to teach them how to do rap properly.

 

[win_the_game]

My sister bought this on cassette. I had to listen to this for weeks.

 

[Soldi]

It’s the last one @Alla

 

[Alla]

It’s the last one

What? It can't be the last one.

 

[win_the_game]

Those bloody Amewican impowted wap wecowds.

And so they rap with faux American accents...

 

[ButterTart]

The fact that the writer is a posh white bloke makes this feel somehow inauthentic.

 

[lolly]

Um, this is going to END any minute now, isn't it? Are we denied the scoring?

 

[win_the_game]

The latter half of the results are here:

 

[Alla]

WTF!? Who the hell won!? I have literally no idea Not Sam Fox for sure. They were all crap. Was it the lesbian?

 

[Soldi]

Well that was ABRUPT

 

[lolly]

Oh no

I guess we'll never know

 

[Alla]

Oh results!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What time?

 

[ButterTart]

And we'll never get to know who that elderly hip hop connoisseur was that he was about to interview.

 

[lolly]

And we'll never get to know who that elderly hip hop connoisseur was that he was about to interview.

I'm guessing Lulu

 

[Alla]

Did the last one win?

 

[Alla]

It’s the last one @Alla

I never heard this, I think, or totally forgot it.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Rainbows and you

LOVELY

 

[ButterTart]

Fuck me rigid, nearly DOUBLE the score of the second place song.

 

[Alla]

What time?

It's over now.

 

[dmlaw]

I put the results on and now I'm listening to Love City Groove for the second time in 10 minutes.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Aw

 

[Alla]

How did Rainbows and you manage to finish 5th!?

 

[win_the_game]

Fuck me rigid, nearly DOUBLE the score of the second place song.

That poor bastard endured leukemia for 2nd place.

 

[ButterTart]

"I say chaps, it weally is da bomb that we won, what."

 

[lolly]

I think Rainbows and You is right up there with the very worst these rewatches have thrown up.

 

[Alla]

Did they have any sort of career after this? I guess not.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

IN THE MORNING WHEN THE SUNSHINE SHONES

 

[AGinAg (37)]

SEX

 

[win_the_game]

How did Rainbows and you manage to finish 5th!?

Because the Nirvana-tribute, lesbian hair and the good music lovers were ever so slightly worse.

 

[lolly]

Did they have any sort of career after this? I guess not.

They didn't have a career during it.

 

[ButterTart]

How did Rainbows and you manage to finish 5th!?

I know! It was so shit it gave one of the other contestants leukaemia.

 

[lolly]

I'm just going to watch whatever YouTube decides next

 

[Alla]

I know! It was so shit it gave one of the other contestants leukaemia.

Hopefully not one of the lovely lesbians

 

[dmlaw]

I think I've had enough. Goodnight.

 

[Alla]

Me too, enough shit, nite!

From Love City Groove's wiki page:

Jonathan King heard it at BBC and requested that the song be submitted for A Song for Europe in 1995.

I'm not sure what's worse - being responsible for THAT or the noncing.

 

[ButterTart]

I'm knackered now so I'm off. In fairness that selection was a lot better than it had any right to be.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm just going to watch whatever YouTube decides next

I'm onto totp 1996 song 4 europe

 

[AGinAg (37)]

On ya'll off
