I'm ten seconds into the Danish number and I already want to fall asleep.
The fear of being molested by a muppet compels me to stay awake.

Yeah I don't really care if anyone else chimes in.
I'm quite happy to drink and post.
But, the more the merrier!

And holy shit, Denmark was weak.

It's like the Ukraine took the Red Woman from GoT and dyed her shit blue, then taught her how to dance like Voldemort.

What the fuck is this song even?
I'm thinking it's done little for any ethnic Ukranian influence but more buried it under a concrete sarcophagus.
Chernobyl.
30th Anniversary.
Never forget.
If you do, a team of angry Ukranian bird-women will scream at you and dance curse you to death.
Avada Kedavra, indeed.

Norway.
Singing about ice.
"Frozen water" is easy mistaken for "close the border".
Mondegreens.

It's like they targeted the under 12 girl market with that whole Frozen thing.

Looks like Noel Gallagher joined the Georgian entrants and wasn't too happy about trying to cover QOTSA....and then subsequently failing to cover QOTSA.

By sticking an electro dance break in the middle.
And just being shit.

Albania travelled back in time to steal my mum's table cloth and a James Bond opening song that even Pierce Brosnan rejected.
EVEN PIERCE DIDNT WANT THIS ONE.

Belgium give us the whitest thing ever conceived.

Should I be surprised by that?

I have decided that the Polish entrant is a knock off Kirk Hammett.
Somehow more effeminate though.

Every year since I was 17 I've watched the Eurovision Australian broadcast (which is about 14 hours behind the live broadcast) and drink and my wife and I laugh our asses off at the train wreck that is beholden unto us.
Usually I drink when doing so.
Occasionally a decent pop song surprises us but it's mostly amusing and very interesting watching entrants resulted pop culture through this bizarre nationalistic and political filters.
To be honest I get a really good sense of what's happening politically in Europe from watching it.
And Kudos to Sweden for doing their best to acknowledge the gay community in last nights opening tune.
I know that's pretty touchy in places over there right now, but who the fuck is anyone kidding by trying to pretend gay people don't like Eurovision?
I will be watching the playback again tonight and posting, it's be rad if some of you were here with me.
