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

[Alla]

HUSH CHILD.

Thank god for mod Kala to stop this sluttiness

 

[COB]

God imagine being this permy old mongrel having to follow THAT.

 

[win_the_game]

I always forget that every man in the 80s looked like a KIDDY FIDDLER.

 

[lolly]

This is the one Leo Sayer (another perky haired mongrel) took into the top ten in 1982.

 

[Alla]

Well this one is still better than the first 4 songs together.

 

[lolly]

I always forget that every man in the 80s looked like a KIDDY FIDDLER.

And we LOVED it

 

[COB]

More leather trousers! And let's see more of the pianist, says someone who's definitely not desperate for ANY FEMALE PERFORMER EVER at the moment

 

[Soldi]

God this is a bit DREARY, bring back BUCKS FIZZ

 

[dmlaw]

I always forget that every man in the 80s looked like a KIDDY FIDDLER.

The problem is that it made the real ones quite hard to spot.

 

[ButterTart]

I stand by my earlier comment about humanity's ongoing battle with hair.

 

[Penelope]

Hope Xandee - 1 Life is one after this

 

[COB]

3/10 cold sick moment.

 

[Kala]

Even I am losing the will to live here

 

[COB]

Ooh, Linds 'n' Les

 

[lolly]

The problem is that it made the real ones quite hard to spot.

I just hung around outside the playground wearing a t shirt with my name on, asking every stranger if they had any puppies, forever hopeful.

 

[Zu]

permy old mongrel

! Is the rum kicking in?

 

[Alla]

OMG

 

[Lucille]

Ooooooh an actual SULTRY GEM

 

[ButterTart]

You'd never realise, professional that he is, but Terry Wogan is actually reading this script off cards he's holding in his hands.

 

[COB]

! Is the rum kicking in?

I'm saying NOTHING

 

[Penelope]

Ooooooh an actual SULTRY GEM

 

[Kala]

This one is actually quite nice, I like her voice.

 

[win_the_game]

I'm loving LEZLEE CARLING and her dulcet tones.

 

[dmlaw]

Did Terry say that this robustly-jawed young thing was only 21?

 

[Penelope]

CRYING at this SHITSHOW!

 

[ButterTart]

Fuck the 80s for being a decade so hideous that this boiler is likely to end up with a medal placing in boob rate.

 

[Soldi]

This should have been a charity single for the McCanns

 

[Suomi]

Did Terry say that this robustly-jawed young thing was only 21?

She’s one of the escaped children from Song 3

 

[Alla]

This should have been a charity single for the McCanns

 

[Penelope]

This should have been a charity single for the McCanns

!

Let's NEVER WATCH THIS AGAIN!

 

[COB]

Imagine being romanced by a permed man to this song in the back of an Austin Allegro. It may be the prolonged effects of quarantine, but it really appeals...

 

[Kala]

She looks ready to CUT a BITCH

 

[Lucille]

THE DESPERATION

 

[ButterTart]

Did Terry say that this robustly-jawed young thing was only 21?

I think he missed a number off the front.

 

[Kala]

WAIT FOR THIS

 

[lolly]

Come on Elaine

 

[COB]

And now for the final song, it's RUSH EXTRA STRONG...

 

[dmlaw]

She’s one of the escaped children from Song 3

I think we all know that the lead singer smothered them all with a pillow as soon as they left the stage. They were so traumatised by their own song that they didn't even struggle.

 

[Kala]

JUST FUCKING WAIT

 

[COB]

!!!
