Worldvision III - Viewing Gala the Second: TONIGHT 8pm

[dmlaw]

Provided the male vocal doesn’t drag it down, it sounds like we could be going to Stockholm next year AGAIN.

 

[Tisch]

Olivia Coleman double fist fuck?

bring back tags

 

[ButterTart]

Enjoying this one. And congratulations to someone for finding a non-typical Swedish song!

They apparently couldn't find anything overly dramatic with wimpy lyrics about someone being a tattoo.

 

[Marina Salty]

He looks a bit like Michael Stipe but with hair

 

[Iguana]

Which countries have won the previous rounds @ButterTart ?

 

[Tisch]

I'd had this song on my shortlist for AGES and somebody beat me to it. If it wins it's a victory for both of us.

The song has ButterTart ALL OVER IT, so I'm assuming this is a double bluff and I'm off to fetch the wet wipes.

 

[dmlaw]

They apparently couldn't find anything overly dramatic with wimpy lyrics about someone being a tattoo.

At least no one forced them to roll around in a giant tortilla press.

 

[ButterTart]

Which countries have won the previous rounds @ButterTart ?

France and Cameroon, neither of which are in this year's contest!

 

[Kate]

I'm sure I know the name Ashbury Heights. Entirely possible I've Shazammed them somewhere.

 

[ButterTart]

9. Egypt
Shirene - Sabry Aalil

​

 

[ButterTart]

I'm sure I know the name Ashbury Heights. Entirely possible I've Shazammed them somewhere.

I have about a dozen of their songs on my ASFM longlist.

 

[Iguana]

Actual footage from ancient Egypt!

 

[dmlaw]

I'm sure I know the name Ashbury Heights. Entirely possible I've Shazammed them somewhere.

It’s a neighbourhood in East London with an alarmingly high murder rate and no tube station.

 

[D5K]

I'm sure I know the name Ashbury Heights.

Isn't she a real housewife somewhere?

 

[Iguana]

Is that Lisa Rinna?

 

[ButterTart]

We've entered the ethnically appropriate portion. No complaints about this not being Egyptian enough, please.

 

[win_the_game]

This is what I want from Worldvision.

 

[Iguana]

 

[Tisch]

I'm sure I know the name Ashbury Heights. Entirely possible I've Shazammed them somewhere.

Same! I just checked and they're on my long list too. But I also haven't listened since 2021 apparently. My long list got too long and unweidly.

 

[Tisch]

We've entered the ethnically appropriate portion. No complaints about this not being Egyptian enough, please.

Nefertiti would be turning in her PYRAMID at this display

 

[D5K]

All the best music videos have a "free music" watermark in the corner.

 

[Kate]

All ASFMs should have at least one singer with MUM HAIR.

 

[D5K]

Why is that man in jail?

 

[ButterTart]

Same! I just checked and they're on my long list too. But I also haven't listened since 2021 apparently. My long list got too long and unweidly.

That's why I have multiple lists. Fun fact: For about a year my ASFM playlist was called 'Iguana Shortlist' because that was the contest I'd created it for and it just kept expanding.

She was banned from performing in Egypt after suggesting that drinking from the Nile might result in stomach complaints.

 

[ButterTart]

Why is that man in jail?

He was caught singing on an ASFM entry.

 

[Kate]

Why is that man in jail?

He's her hairstylist.

 

[Tisch]

That's why I have multiple lists. Fun fact: For about a year my ASFM playlist was called 'Iguana Shortlist' because that was the contest I'd created it for and it just kept expanding.

Oh to be a fly on the wall to see you explain THAT to the rude twat looking over your shoulder at your phone

 

[Marina Salty]

Why is that man in jail?

He gave her this haircut

 

[win_the_game]

Well Egypt was delightful.

 

[Tisch]

All ASFMs should have at least one singer with MUM HAIR.

And all ASFMs also need a song that finishes ABRUPTLY

 

[dmlaw]

Well, that Egyptian song ended like an ASFM viewer‘s partner came home unexpectedly.

 

[ButterTart]

10. Mongolia
Becca - Leomini

​

 

[Kate]

Ah, the horse milk booze with testicles cup entry

 

[Tisch]

Very good! It's straight in to my top 2 Mongolian songs of all time!

 

[D5K]

I've never heard this song before but feel like I know it inside out at the same time. Definitely up my street.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Jesus fucking Christ one of you is a MONSTER and will be PUNISHED. (SONG 11)

 

[Marina Salty]

This doesn't sound Mongolian but I can't complain

 

[Iguana]

Who knew Mongolia did bops?

 

[ButterTart]

This doesn't Mongolian but I can't complain

When Mongolia isn't doing clippy clappy nonsense music they seem to have a pretty solid line in well-produced bangers. Last year's was further proof of that.
