Eurovision DRUNK rewatch - Birmingham 1998 - 09/05 23.45

[Lucille]

NICE BLOUSE.

 

[ButterTart]

I'd rather listen to them than to this Hungarian rubbish.

A Design For Life was ace. They were still a few years off turning into their own working men's club tribute act at this point.

 

[Lucille]

I miss PUBS

 

[Tisch]

I miss PUBS

I MISS PUBES

[ButterTart]

Lighthouse Family now.

 

[Beverley]

OMG Imaani⁩ was so good, I think both her or Dana would've been great ambassadors for this year.

Where Are You is up there with the best.

 

[octophone]

Noncehouse Family, more like it.

 

[win_the_game]

Lighthouse Family now.

God they were massive in the late 90s.

 

[ButterTart]

Are you a fan? I've not liked anything of theirs since Ocean Spray, and I thought they were mint in the 90s

 

[Tisch]

This is a lull isn't it? I'm starting to *feel* my drunkenness and this isn't good

 

[Lucille]

Fun fact : I’ve had one of the lighthouse family in my flat.

 

[Beverley]

OK I'm leaving again! ByE

 

[Tisch]

Fun fact: the lighthouse family once favourited one of my tweets

Paul or Tunde?

A Design For Life was ace. They were still a few years off turning into their own working men's club tribute act at this point.

They definitely went through a ropey phase around the turn of the century, but I think they pulled it back together after a few years.

 

[ButterTart]

God they were massive in the late 90s.

I've never understood that. High was a jam, and I've always had a soft spot for Ocean Drive, but they were EVERYWHERE.

 

[Lucille]

Paul or Tunde?

Paul

 

[Tisch]

Okay that's MUCH better than mine you bitch.

Please spill. Was it the black one and did he dick you good?

 

[octophone]

Are you a fan? I've not liked anything of theirs since Ocean Spray, and I thought they were mint in the 90s

The two albums they made back to back in 2013 - Rewind The Film and Futurology - are both The Tits. Some good choons on the last one too.

 

[Tisch]

Oh it's BIG DAWN everyone!

 

[Lucille]

Okay that's MUCH better than mine you bitch.

Please spill. Was it the black one and did he dick you good?

The white one unfortunately. Not that exciting I lived with his son.

 

[ButterTart]

They definitely went through a ropey phase around the turn of the century, but I think they pulled it back together after a few years.

I think the last of their songs I actively paid attention to was Your Love Alone Is Not Enough. Wasn't a fan.

 

[win_the_game]

I've never understood that. High was a jam, and I've always had a soft spot for Ocean Drive, but they were EVERYWHERE.

Their first album sold 1.8 million in the UK and the second about 1.2 million. WTF?

 

[octophone]

They lost the plot on Know Your Enemy, went all synthy on Lifebood and then found themselves again on Send Away The Tigers.

 

[ButterTart]

This drag tribute to Letitia Dean is TWENTY ONE?

 

[dmlaw]

Sometimes the snow comes down in June. Sometimes the sun goes round the moon.

 

[win_the_game]

@Penelope GET IN HERE NOW. SAINT DAWN OF THE EMERALD ISLE IS HERE

 

[Tisch]

The white one unfortunately. Not that exciting I lived with his son.

Did you ask to paint the walls and he said no and insisted to do it himself? I need SOMETHING

 

[Tisch]

This is much better than that Niamh stuff from bthe other night

 

[ButterTart]

The two albums they made back to back in 2013 - Rewind The Film and Futurology - are both The Tits. Some good choons on the last one too.

I might have to give them a listen, then. They seemed to embrace dad rock with disquieting ease in the early 00s.

 

[Lucille]

I should hate this but I actually love it.

 

[win_the_game]

Remember that time Dawn from Accounts was on STAR FOR A NIGHT.

 

[dmlaw]

They lost the plot on Know Your Enemy, went all synthy on Lifebood and then found themselves again on Send Away The Tigers.

I liked Send Away The Tigers. Their version of Working Class Hero had some real venom.

 

[Lucille]

Did you ask to paint the walls and he said no and insisted to do it himself? I need SOMETHING

I did stumble into their after party wrecked last year after getting lost trying to find a sauna. I don’t remember much except having a conversation with his wife at the bar and her looking at me HORRIFIED.

 

[Lucille]

Oh Portugal.

 

[ButterTart]

Sometimes the snow comes down in June. Sometimes the sun goes round the moon.

Bloody global warming.

Bloody wildly incorrect understanding of how the moon works.

 

[dmlaw]

SERIOUSLY! Why would you play part of a Suede song before a Portuguese entry featuring bagpipes?

 

[Lucille]

Where did she find these DOUGHY MEN in the background.

 

[ButterTart]

Portugal is to Eurovision as Beverley Allitt is to the Pride of Britain awards.
