Eurovision Rewatch: A Song For Europe 1981 (22:30 BST 17/04)

[win_the_game]

Oh my what a strong start.

 

[Alla]

Actually, I'm here. I have this on DVD!

Did they release THIS on DVD?

 

[Penelope]

WOW

This is DREADFUL!

 

[Kala]

This looks straight out of 1975, so of course BANG ON TREND for Eurovision 1981!

 

[Soldi]

Well it can’t get WORSE

 

[COB]

Leather trousers though!

 

[Alla]

Oh my what a strong start.

 

[Kala]

Did they release THIS on DVD?

No, I have a TV recording of it!

 

[Penelope]

HATE THIS!

KILL VoR NOW

 

[lolly]

Well it can’t get WORSE

Wait for SONG THREE

 

[dmlaw]

If this is one of the eight best, what were the 583 rejected songs like?

 

[Alla]

The awful sound effects that have nothing to do with the song

 

[win_the_game]

It's apt that the act are called HEADACHE

 

[COB]

Loving SONJA on bass

 

[Penelope]

AWFUL

0/10

 

[win_the_game]

Did we have the 3 minute rule in 1981? This feels a lot longer...

 

[COB]

Dogshit!

 

[Lucille]

WOW

 

[Penelope]

Oh I DO see the appeal of Wogan RIGHT NOW

 

[Kala]

I've sat through almost every single UK National Final and TRUST me that is not that bad compared to some of them!

 

[Alla]

Did we have the 3 minute rule in 1981? This feels a lot longer...

I was thinking the same, definitely longer.

 

[Soldi]

Drinking CIDER tonight, I blame @ButterTart and all that straight talk from Moopyvision last night.

 

[Lucille]

In a CAR PARK!

 

[Penelope]

This is already WORSE THAN ARSE CANCER

 

[Alla]

Oh a snorefest now, great.

 

[COB]

Given our collective emotional state at the moment I'm expecting FLOODS by the end of this

 

[win_the_game]

Who knew Terry was already an unfunny, well worn cunt way back in 1981.

 

[Suomi]

That lead singer was quite dishy

 

[dmlaw]

I'm concerned that he may try to play that guitar at some point.

 

[Lucille]

Gee why would anyone dump HIM

 

[lolly]

This sounds like a Victoria Wood song

And not The Ballad of Barry and Freda, quite clearly

 

[COB]

I opened up and gave you the key

 

[Penelope]

WOW

LOLLY - WHY ARE WE WATCHING THIS?

 

[Soldi]

Does make you think how we ever managed to do SO WELL all the time

 

[Alla]

I don't even know what UK sent this year, I hope it's something better than this. (NO SPOILERS)

 

[Penelope]

I don't even know what UK sent this year, I hope it's something better than this. (NO SPOILERS)

 

[Soldi]

WOW

LOLLY - WHY ARE WE WATCHING THIS?

Don’t steer us in another direction you war criminal

 

[Kala]

Now this is JANKIER than that bitch who couldn't walk straight on The Face and made Naomi Campbell burst into fits of laughter.

 

[Alla]

Does make you think how we ever managed to do SO WELL all the time

Well all you need is a decent song, and you can fill the preselection with as much shit as you want.

 

[lolly]

WOW

LOLLY - WHY ARE WE WATCHING THIS?

BECAUSE IT'S NEARLY MY BIRTHDAY

DON'T QUESTION ME
