Eurovision drunken Rewatch: Munich, 1983 (BST 11:30, 25.04)

[lolly]

Such natural rhythm

 

[Alla]

SOLD ALREADY with that shit.

 

[dmlaw]

Like the Yugoslav backing dancers, in spite of yellow being a tricky colour.

 

[ButterTart]

"Now, in fact, we please to have [404 COUNTRY NOT FOUND]."

What a pro.

 

[Soldi]

Poor JULIE

 

[Dark Carnival]

omg those backing singers look like a PARODY of the eighties!

 

[Penelope]

Love to hear the HOT ARTWORKS of COMMUNISM

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The fucking Birdie Song

 

[Madison]

This one would drive any listening dogs mad.

 

[ButterTart]

Like the Yugoslav backing dancers, in spite of yellow being a tricky colour.

One on the right's a bit of a boiler, with you on the other.

This was the 80s, you take what you can get.

At least the backing dancers are good fun!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

[Tisch]

[Dark Carnival]

[Penelope]

[Penelope]

[Dark Carnival]

Can we have the official @ButterTart boobrate on the backing singers?

(who have mics but curiously haven't sung a single word)

 

[lolly]

this was one of the most successful songs across Europe, wasn't it?

 

[Madison]

I used to like that, but I really wasn't enjoying it tonight.

 

[Tisch]

Love how Cheryl Baker was once a person worth ripping off. Now she's Cheryl Baker.

I was about to say, despite (or in spite of) the blurry quality I would sit all over its face

 

[win_the_game]

WTF are those flowers meant to be?

 

[Madison]

Did they misspell 'Zypern' as 'Cypern'?

 

[Alla]

A funeral wreath would have been nice for those with no flags.

 

[ButterTart]

Bloke in the audience nipping for a piss during Cyprus.

The German commentator is a lot less obtrusive than Wogan. Also, I have learned that Shakin Stevens in German is Shakin Stevens.
