This song is performed in an obscure Austrian dialect known as Vorarlbergish

 

[Tisch]

Did backing singer just MESS UP?

 

[Penelope]

What is 'dr' in German? I'm not sure I approve of the casual approach to vowels.

It's people like you that ruined Woki mit deim popo.

 

[Tisch]

[Tisch]

Ooh some nice sexy 90s bomber jackets there!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Well it turns out we never needed Germany. We had Austria all along!

 

[Penelope]

Oooh, it's NOT CELINE DION

 

[VoR]

It's like the backing vocalists are playing that big bad wolf game with him. Y'know the one where you had to creep up as closely behind somebody as possible before they turned around?

 

[Madison]

Switzerland only gets a chargé d'affaires.

 

[dmlaw]

Impressive how they are completely ignoring that it's May and are insisting on doing skiing based postcards anyway.

 

[Penelope]

Switzerland only trotting out their charge d'affaires! CHEAP CUNTS

 

[Tisch]

Oooh, it's NOT CELINE DION

Was just going to say, they're trying to recreate that aren't they? How long after was it? Less than 10 years?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Switzerland only trotting out their charge d'affaires! CHEAP CUNTS

We offered the MINISTER FOR CULTURE!

 

[Tisch]

This is nice

 

[VoR]

Celine won in '88, but of course at 1996 she was pretty much at the height of her fame.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

EXCELLENT HAIR

 

[Penelope]

This could have been entered into any contest since 1983. DOGSHIT

 

[lolly]

I ache to love a French language female ballad, but this is insipid

 

[ButterTart]

Oh fuck's sake was GINAG (39) on SECOND? I knew I shouldn't have gone for my tea.

 

[Soldi]

Don’t Switzerland enter this type of song every year?

 

[dmlaw]

We offered the MINISTER FOR CULTURE!

At least that means that Gina G is officially considered to be culture.

 

[Tisch]

When languages was a thing what did Switzerland do? Swap round between french and German like Belgium? Or just do WHATEVER? (@VoR @Penelope @Madison)

[win_the_game]

[ButterTart]

That camera work was a bit jazzy.
