Hi. Let me get this right!!
You haven't seen or heard the European Song contest 2010
Then how can you post a link to the Dutch candidate or call it a parody??
Please assist me
I haven't seen the Eurovision Songcontest. I did however see and hear the Dutch candidate when she "won" the Dutch selection contest. The song was the same song for all candidates. The jury couldn't make a decision and the songwriter had to make the ultimate selection. And with a "Uhm, I don't know whom to choose. Ah well, let's go for Sieneke." the Dutch candidate was selected. The next day the media was all over it, calling it a complete parody and a shame for the country. Sometimes the media are right; this was such a time...

I'm just curious why you would choose such a topic to get on the case of a long standing member like Mike, who I've never seen ride anyone else's back over anything?
Seems a little petty, don't ya' think? Is that enough of an "assist"?

It appears that this competition goes along the same lines as “pick a country of your choice” Has Talent, “pick a country of your choice” Idol, Dancing with the Stars etc in that it is NOT a talent contest but a popularity contest. The person with the highest votes from John-Q-Public wins. I never take these things seriously.
I arrived early to a restaurant.
The manager asks, "do you mind waiting a bit?"
I said no.
"Good", he said. "Take these drinks to table 3"

Speaking of silly lyrics:
Come Together
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got Ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me
It's still a great song, but these are some of the goofiest lyrics I've ever heard. But it's got that "groove".
Bob
I can just picture the Beatles writing that song and saying to one another,
"Our fans just worship us and will accept any ole S**T we turn out, Lets write the most silly song going and see if they fall for it"
And they did!

I like it. Especially the line
"Like a satellite
I’m in an orbit all the way around you
And I would fall out into the night"
Very creative way of saying it.
Great beat and well written for pop. Sounds like a hit to me. Wish I'd written it. grin.

Bob my man.
He admitted that he had not seen the 2010 contest.
Therefore how can he comment on the performance?
I am an avid member of this forum. Your comment seemed a little "warm and fuzzy"+
I would like to be a forum mate of yours and and you'll notice my comments have only positive connotations
Im 62 yrs old. If you did not live through the 60's then I really feel for you. My daughters are devastated tnat they didn't.
Don't be angry. Life is so bloody short. If you send me your email address I'll send you my CV
Go well mate

Greg, That the first time I've ever been called "warm and fuzzy"! And I'm happy to say that I did live through the '60's or I wouldn't be here now. No anger here. Take care. Bob

This has got to be the biggest joke out! The Eurovison Song Contest 2010 was won by THIS???
Germany
It is complete and utter RUBBISH!! Heck, the bad singer at my local karaoke club could do better...
And the song is rubbish too!
So much for the Eurovison Song Contest - whatever happened to the days of Cliff Richard, ABBA, even Johnny Logan?
Sam, you quite obviously haven't understood the hype about this particular performance.
It's a lot about personality -> it has been said that Lena could have won this contest with *any* song.
Lena is a fabulous ambassador of an untroubled and fresh minded European youth.
Kudos!
Martin

Sam,
this is just the old rivalry between Germany and Austria!
Austria has always given German songs a very bad rating in this ESC competition. No matter which artist was performing - young, old, male, femal, good song, bad song ...
And now that Austria no longer takes part in the competition - Germany wins!
