THE TROUSERS!

 

[dmlaw]

This cunt dressed up as a battenburg is also dead. And deserved it.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

REGGAE OK?

No hun, you're a member of Black Lace dressed as a court jester.

 

[ButterTart]

White reggae by Geoffrey from Rainbow. I'm obviously assuming this wins.

 

[octophone]

There's not a single person on that stage I would trust with a cat.

 

[Soldi]

THE WHISTLE

 

[Tisch]

Beautiful mullett! Reminds me of El DeBarge!

[COB]

Choosing to believe this directly inspired UB40

 

[Dark Carnival]

[lolly]

I really need to punch something right now

 

[ButterTart]

There's not a single person on that stage I would trust with a cat.

Or child.

 

[Tisch]

He looks like BATTENBURG and this is AWFUL

I love battenburg

 

[Suomi]

That Finnish guy looks so much like one of my keepers in the embassy

 

[win_the_game]

There's not a single person on that stage I would trust with a cat.

I wouldn't even trust them with a child.

He did WONDERS for sales of every music other than reggae.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The French were the BEST at this point.

[dmlaw]

Why is Brian May conducting the French song?

 

[Suomi]

Was that the last time France EVER won?

In 2001 they won with a song called “Moi...Lolita” by singer Alizee

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I wonder if anyone came up with something nice to say at his funeral?

Just expressing relief.

 

[Madison]

The RTÉ orchestra has an organ, but not a saxophone

 

[Tisch]

White reggae by Geoffrey from Rainbow. I'm obviously assuming this wins.

Spoilers

 

[ButterTart]

That isn't a song title. The writer blatantly sneezed while dictating the lyrics to his secretary.

 

[octophone]

Please tell me this over-earnest sex pest is six feet under.

 

[Suomi]

Planet of Pee

 

[win_the_game]

Please tell me this over-earnest sex pest is six feet under.

Still alive. A sprightly 76 year old perv.

 

[Tisch]

Is this guy quite dashing or am I quite drunk?

ETA (OR BOTH HAHAHAHAH)
