Lead singer is actually vaguely passable by 2020 fashion standards

 

[lolly]

It's like Kraftwerk reimagined by gay committee just for Eurovision

 

[ButterTart]

He'll throw his hip out throwing such wild shapes. Actually wearing their Casio preset beats on their sleeve with the tandem keyboards.

Do you guys have a SPREAD SHEET?

 

[Madison]

They appeared on TOTP in 1979.

 

[ButterTart]

Spain, Turkey, Ireland and Morocco are the only ones that have got a twitch from me.

And maybe the penguins.

Apart from Spain, Turkey and Morocco I'm right there with you.

Is this another one of those songs that was too ahead of its time to win Eurovision?

 

[lolly]

Totally here for his Sasha Velour moment

 

[Lucille]

You can see every cent of the $725,000 they spent making this show right there on the screen.

 

[Soldi]

Mysteriously cutting away during the interval

The whole year's been quite progressive, in fairness. These acts were all making a load of unrelated noises in the hope of stumbling across a melody YEARS before Telemoveis.

 

[Soldi]

Ooh the backdrop MOVES, or is it just an EARTHQUAKE

Prima Donna. Years active 1980 - 1981

 

[ButterTart]

Cutting the UK act off mid-sentence. Richly deserved for that cunty little laugh after 'besides us?'

Mysteriously cutting away during the interval

They weren't allowed to show black people on the BBC in 1980 unless they were appearing in 'Mind Your Language'.
