[Soldi]

An old man with a moustache.

Who’s dead, so if you’re into THAT SORTA STUFF

 

[Penelope]

WHY DO YOU THINK I KNOW WHO THAT IS?

[Dark Carnival]

[Soldi]

A WAVY BIT and LASERS

 

[ButterTart]

That saxophone woman is the best thing to have happened all night.

 

[Lucille]

It's been slim pickings so far, but Iceland is almost my favourite. More songs should be in Icelandic.

Has someone been handing out MESCALINE?!?

 

[Penelope]

Oh THANK GOD, LIFE!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh fuck it's Austria

 

[lolly]

Sounds like Jimmy Nail is about to wander on

 

[Dark Carnival]

Oh of course you want us to keep an eye on the saxophonist you DIRTY DEAD PIG!

 

[win_the_game]

AUSTRIAN POP/SOUL is a genre I can do without.

 

[Penelope]

It's no VREDE, but it'll DO

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh THANK GOD, LIFE!

Don't exaggerate.

 

[Kala]

Somehow I have a STELLA badge!

 

[COB]

The sax queen!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm DEAD and not in a gay metaphor way.

 

[Soldi]

LOVING THIS

 

[Penelope]

The sax queen!

BOJACK?

 

[Madison]

It's no VREDE, but it'll DO

I would kill for VREDE right now.

 

[Zu]

Some old BOAR like things with HOOVES no doubt.

Door’s on the latch in that case

 

[ButterTart]

This is still worse than circumcision by papercut, but at least it has some semblance of a pulse.

 

[Suomi]

This sounds like the theme tune to Buttertart’s CITV show

 

[Raining on Me]

Austria has life yet it's STILL DEAD. Utter shit

 

[lolly]

It's just INCESSANT SHIT tonight

 

[Zu]

An old man with a moustache.

Well THAT narrows it down. Who is it, the Slovenian FRANK MUIR?

 

[Dark Carnival]

AUSTRIAN POP/SOUL is a genre I can do without.

Usually not for me either but this is a nice change from all the DIRGE we've had so far.

Not really the big finish I think they thought it was...

 

[Soldi]

That’s an old Austrian flag isn’t it?

 

[Madison]

That’s an old Austrian flag isn’t it?

It’s a variant.

 

[Penelope]

That gets bonus points for having some VAGUE SENSE OF A BEAT

[AGinAg (37)]

This is still worse than circumcision by papercut, but at least it has some semblance of a pulse.

Well we'll just have Slobodan Milosevic if you all needed was a fucking pulse.

 

[Suomi]

This next one is my 3rd favourite Eurovision song of all time...

 

[Madison]

Come on Anaconda!
