Lonan3 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 It's from Ireland - of course - and it has to be a winner. Sung by 'Dustin the Turkey' (actually a builder with no voice at all!) it takes the piss out everything Eurovision brilliantly! Sample lyric: "Give your douze points for Ireland for its lowlands and it highlands for Wogan's wigs and Bono’s leather pants We brought you Guinness and Westlife 800 years of war and strife but we all apologise for Riverdance." It is a genuine contender to be Ireland's official entry and you can hear the whole thing This has got to be a winner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonan3 Posted February 6, 2008 Author Share Posted February 6, 2008 Anyone know what will be the Manx entry? (There is going to be one, isn't there? ) In Foxdale. Every night. "Baaa...baaa...baaa; baaa - baabra-Ann." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Baaa...baaa...baaa; baaa - baabra-Ann." And you say the Irish entry from Dustin the Turkey has to be the winner! Don't you think Shaun the Sheep (or whoever is the official Manx entrant) has a chance? Give it a pumping beat with drum-machine and its a winner! Yipee for Manx Europop!

Mutley Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 It's actually a fake. But Dustin the Turkey is entering a song - just not that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeddan Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 It's actually a fake. But Dustin the Turkey is entering a song - just not that one... Phew... I thought for a second you meant that IoM wasn't really entering a song - and I'd just learnt the chorus... (at least up up to the 'Baaa...baaa...baaa' bit, and was happily imagining millions of fans across Europe singing along with this as it stomps through to win the EUrevisionist song contest).

Pat Ayres Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I quite like it, catchy. I'm working on the Manx entry right now, it will include references to Queens Pier, Albert tower and the 'Iron Seagull' of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lonan3 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 The French entry is Sébastien Tellier with a song called Divine. (NB If you're mad enough to try it on youtube you'll find it has the longest most boring intro of all time, followed by an equally boring middle and end) but the interesting thing about it is that the lyrics are mostly in English! In a country that's renowned for its fierce pride in its native tongue - and equally fierce disparagement of the English language - this must be the greatest cultural shock that Eurovision has ever provided!

Skeddan Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 BTW if a Manx broadcaster (e.g. MR) were to become a member of the European Broadcasting Union (membership cost would probably be about £15,000 a year), then IoM would be eligible to put forward its own entry into the Eurovision Song Contest. I'd think it would be worth it in terms of exposure and promotion of IoM, and would also be a big encouragement to local talent such as the likes of Sam Barks. Perhaps it is something MR could consider as a co-venture with a record company (the promotional value of Eurovision makes this commercially attractive). Maybe that way it needn't involve Tynwald and costly consultant reports which would blow the cost out of all proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
