Eurovision Rewatch: Luxembourg City, 1984 (00:00 BST / 01:00 CEST, 3 May 2020)

[lolly]

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

GP surgeries are still open, FYI

 

[Soldi]

This is rather GOOD

 

[ZenGiraffe]

So glad I'm colourblind right now

 

[ButterTart]

Oof. You can see why the other two had their backs turned to the camera for the first half.

UK was so weird - taking a potentially classic song and making it horrible with that troll presentation.

[VoR]

The UK were allegedly booed due to FOOTBALL HOOLIGANS running rampant in Luxembourg shortly before the Contest.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

The UK are getting booed. Apparently due to football hooliganism.

 

[Suomi]

Was everyone in 1984 preparing to be launched into space? @lolly

 

[Dark Carnival]

@lolly how on earth did Love Games win A Song For Europe 1984? What dreck was it up against?

 

[Dark Carnival]

OMG Cyprus so FASHIONABLE

Samantha Mumba

 

[Lucille]

Finding someone to fuck in the 80s must’ve been hard work.

 

[VoR]

Is this an actual HETEROSEXUAL CYPRIOT MALE?

 

[ButterTart]

Ooh, the conductor's got a name. So have I, it doesn't mean I warrant a fucking ten second close up.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

@lolly how on earth did Love Games win A Song For Europe 1984? What dreck was it up against?

Rose West and Norman Tebbit.

 

[Soldi]

Omg my work uniform is similar to those of the backing singers (without the sparkly bits of course)

A smell something to add to the list
(Not really, I'd rather eat bees)

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Apparently this guy worked with SAW before this.

 

[Suomi]

Those seats look terrible - what if you were in the middle and you needed to pee?

Do you work on a LESBIAN SPACE STATION?!?

 

[win_the_game]

Why are they BOOING

Something to do with English football hooliganism in Luxembourg the year before.

People got creative. Throughout the 80s it wasn't uncommon to see a geyser of spunk come up from between the cushions if you sat down on the settee too fast.

 

[Soldi]

Well I went to the same theatre afterwards and it was QUITE DAMP

[dmlaw]

I'm rather enjoying the Cypriot song. I know I probably shouldn't.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Belgium surely?

 

[Soldi]

Do you work on a LESBIAN SPACE STATION?!?

Well that should be a new name for A&E!

 

[ButterTart]

I'm sorry, hairy man-lesbian, but that was fucking shit.
