[Soldi]

We’d had FRAMLING in 1983 by this point btw

 

[AGinAg (37)]

HOW DELIGHTFUL!

 

[VoR]

On record this is one of the most forward thinking Eurovision songs of the early 80s. A proper synth-pop banger.

Alas, the orchestra really doesn't flatter it.

 

[ButterTart]

Are they on their way back from a Karate lesson?

 

[win_the_game]

This is TERRIBLE.

 

[COB]

We’d had FRAMLING in 1983 by this point btw

Hair like the microphone is wired in to the mains.

 

[Suomi]

On record this is one of the most forward thinking Eurovision songs of the early 80s. A proper synth-pop banger.

Alas, the orchestra really doesn't flatter it.

They are like the return of Pays De Deux from Belgium 83

anything too modern and it all goes a bit wrong in the early eighties

 

[Soldi]

Well we can't all afford fucking betamax your majesty.

[ButterTart]

"We've got quite a good song here, Olga. How are you going to fuck it up?"
"Well, I'm thinking about going really shrill."

 

[dmlaw]

Wikipedia suggests that the lead singer of this UK entry joined Hazell Dean as backing singers for Samantha J. Anus in 1991. I want to believe that it's true.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

According to Wiki, the UK singers mics aren't even on. Singers off stage.

 

[COB]

[Lucille]

[ZenGiraffe]

Where is their Disco Stick?

 

[Dark Carnival]

THAT HAIR

 

[COB]

That blonde hair that looks like some sort of EGG SAC is always a great look!

 

[VoR]

 

[ButterTart]

You'd never have thought so many shades could fall under the classification of 'bogey green', would you?

 

[lolly]

Lenge Leve Livet has just been added to my Spotify Eurovision playlist

 

[win_the_game]

Fucking hell Belle looks like she would later go on to play a corpse in Beetlejuice.

 

[dmlaw]

I didn't know that Grotbags had represented the UK in Eurovision.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It manages to be terrible in ways I couldn't even have hoped for.

 

[Alla]

Well it looks the Spanish singer was properly dressed after what's coming next
