mcustic posted:One of my favorite bad entries, although it did get 7 points in total. I think Mossad uses this song to torture Hamas operatives nowadays: Despite entering the contest as a joke, the Ping-Pongs managed to upset the Israeli government by basically dedicating their song to Syria, dancing with the Syrian flag etc. Ehud Barak was apparently absolutely outraged by their performance, So thums up.

Also don't forget this totally serious Eurovision song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nN6P6dqYe8 This cult-favourite guy tried to get national nomination for the Czech republic, but unfortunately failed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Aw40gafSFg

Oh goodie! This time of the year again. I gotta watch last year's tonight and tomorrow because last year I was pretty busy with Uni. Won't be able to watch the Final live 'cause I have Japanese class, but maybe I can get the chance to watch the semis at least. Here the show is at noon, you lucky bastards. I have to watch the whole thing sober because my classes start at 3:00 p.m. Edit: How did you people forget entries like these? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEkSRJmRswc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-Qj5FVK5Cg Siselmo fucked around with this message at 17:03 on May 9, 2016 |

Quantum of Phallus posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfuJaf6IBpk Only Irish people seem to understand this. To me, it's bottom tier Eurovision joke song. Maybe it's because if your song's lyrics are supposed to be funny, perform them in such a way that it's possible to hear the bloody thing. *mfpfhfhffhDOSSPOINTSmfpfpffpfDOSSPOINTS*

I came here to check the German entry because I had no idea what idiocy we went with this year. Wasn't disappointed, it is completely poo poo and clearly aims to imitate successful songs instead of aiming at being a good song.

Glad to see that for the UK, BBC 4 takes over for the semifinals now BBC 3 has gone online only. Was afraid I was going to have to stream and not be able to magically predict stuff happening to those who are streaming.

The greatest thing about "My Lovely Horse" is that it was written by Neil Hannon of The Divine Comedy and he gladly performs it at every opportunity, despite having a back catalogue of pretty amazing songs he could be singing instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McqUESPEcWY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92w86rGioqQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNBzDMFE1b4
