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

[Dark Carnival]

Surely this wins the whole thing?

 

[VoR]

This is so much better than her dreary, dreary more famous entry.

 

[win_the_game]

TERMINAL THREE! FLIGHTS ON TIME!

 

[Lucille]

I play this song every time I'm at an airport.

You’ll never hear it again

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It's like Moonlight Shadow meets Holding Out For A Hero

 

[COB]

This is more like it. I think about this every time I go to the airport.

I think about it every time I'm confronted with an odious little man.

 

[Soldi]

Surely this wins the whole thing?

Fuck I’ve realised I DONT ACTUALLY KNOW who wins

 

[ButterTart]

Alexa, show me a Romanian prostitute who's recently taken up a martial art.

 

[lolly]

Oh it WAS Sinitta and Hazell. I didn't realise Hazell tried TWICE

 

[VoR]

I feel like the vibe of this song is that Linda has just defeated the Highlander in single combat.

[Lucille]

That stopped me PASSING OUT.

 

[ButterTart]

Linda Martin is here to save us.

Unless you're drowning in Jack Daniels and she happens to have a straw, she won't be coming to the rescue.

[lolly]

At least she's got the decency to REEK OF CUNT

 

[Dark Carnival]

WTF

 

[COB]

Twelve points and a bottle of stout from the airport bar for Linda.

 

[Lucille]

I like that her perm is ALSO a mullet

IT’S EL DEBARGE!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

What the SWEET FUCK ARE THESE POSTCARDS?

[VoR]

Love this Danish shite.

They evidently thought so highly of it that they entered it a further two times.

 

[ButterTart]

I like that her perm is ALSO a mullet

The 80s found bold and innovative ways to make women look like absolute shit.

 

[Madison]

Love this Danish shite.

They evidently thought so highly of it that they entered it a further two times.

Norway loved it too, they entered it in 1985.

 

[Raining on Me]

08 Sweden
08 Luxembourg
08 France
08 Spain
08 Norway
06 UK
05 Cyprus

[Soldi]

She looks a bit like me now I’ve not had my hair cut.

 

[Suomi]

What the SWEET FUCK ARE THESE POSTCARDS?

I was just thinking this it’s like: “here are some scenes”

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Its BOBBYSOCKS BUT NOT!

 

[Madison]

This performance was sabotaged by Luxembourg refusing to install a swimming pool on the stage.

 

[Lucille]

This year is surely a contender for the Barbara Dex lifetime achievement award.

 

[VoR]

Spoiler for future 80s re-watches. Lady Hot Eyes gets progressively more bizarre looking every time she enters.

 

[dmlaw]

I'm enjoying Denmark. Although she could fit another set of teeth in that gap in her teeth.

 

[Soldi]

Omg who won the VISIONARY DREAM AWARD @Suomi

 

[ButterTart]

The last couple of songs have actually been somewhere approaching good.

I've a lot of time for a lesbian Matador with the teeth of a wildly unsuccessful bare knuckle boxer.

 

[Madison]

She's pregnant for two of her three entries.

[ButterTart]

This is actually just La Det Swinge, isn't it?

 

[Lucille]

She's pregnant for two of her three entries.

QUEEN OF BAREBACK.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

She's pregnant for two of her three entries.

Quite a long pregnancy.
