Eurovision Rewatch: Dublin 1988 (13/06, 20:00 BST)

[Tisch]

Oh come on love MOVE AROUND A BIT!

 

[Iguana]

Did Tyra make her get the gap tooth?

 

[Pingu]

Has anyone else that pregnant ever graced the stage? I know about this lady and Katie Price...

The lady from Israel 1981 was also about 8 months pregnant but had a MUCH more flattering outfit.

I vaguely remember an Estonian in one of the contests that we've watched but, to be honest, they are starting to merge together.

[Tisch]

Another viking joke? Really?

Viking lives matter

 

[Iguana]

Another viking joke? Really?

What is his hang up with Scandinavians pillaging? The Irish aren't exactly known for being historically COUTH

 

[COB]

I love her - Carol Vorderman WISHES she looked like this.

 

[Iguana]

@dmlaw Boob outlines alert!

 

[lolly]

That Greek fellow is very light on his feet.

 

[dmlaw]

The laughter in this Greek song is fucking chilling.

 

[COB]

As the Eurovision Viking expert I am also finding these jokes tired

 

[Suomi]

These presenters had obviously just been reading The Vicious Vikings by Terry Deary teehee

 

[Pingu]

hahaha!

 

[Iguana]

As the Eurovision Viking expert I am also finding these jokes tired

You would certainly never reference Viking battle culture!

 

[dmlaw]

@dmlaw Boob outlines alert!

To be honest, I'd be a bit concerned that they might have a knife.

 

[lolly]

She's serving Dschinghis Khan with those Ha Ha Ha Has

 

[Iguana]

To be honest, I'd be a bit concerned that they might have a knife.

Tonight you take what you can get

 

[Iguana]

Norway...more jokes?

 

[Tisch]

Skorgen?

Norway looks quite pretty. I was starting get concerned that I might have to put Celine at the top of the rankings.

 

[lolly]

That's dangerously straight hair for the late eighties

 

[Tisch]

She's tried to insert some drama and get her piano burning, but she's just stuck some candles on it.

*warms up vocal chords backstage*

 

[COB]

This bellowing woman!

 

[dmlaw]

If that girl is really in a leather dress, they should put her on camera at some point.

 

[Iguana]

HERE I GO!

[Suomi]

Belgium was great Not a very typical song for the contest

 

[dmlaw]

I think that might do me. I'll watch the rest tomorrow.

 

[Pingu]

Considering all the 80s had going for it, I just can't believe that the dreary second song in the romcom movie credits is the sound of this period that Eurovision decided to draw from.

 

[D5K]

This year isn’t that good is it?

 

[Pingu]

HERE I GO!

BREAK A LEG

 

[Iguana]

Like looking in a mirror

 

[Tisch]

Lara looks the same shape my mum did when she was pregnant with me. (Ie. Not pregnant at all just round).

Also I never need to hear this song. Me and Ig must have done at least 18 takes for his video.

 

[COB]

Give it to us Iggy Igs!
