I think Germany's odds this time might be just a little bit better than in previous years... or maybe worse, I really don't know. Anyway I'm not going to look at the other contestants beforehand (though I've seen some hilarious clips, e.g. from Holland).

Whenever I read the word "Eurovision" I think of Transvision Vamp! Anyone remember them? Ugo?  :D

I'm looking forward to this tonight - although the U.K always does rubbish these days - "nil point".

The Irish song is quite good - "douce point." :cool:

@ nightspore: I do remember the name but I don't remember the music. Were they the guys with a blonde singer and a poppy hit called "Baby I Don't Care"?

Yes, that was the group. I post "Baby I Don't Care" here for your enjoyment:

Of course, there are echoes of "Wild Thing" and "More than a Feeling". Musical quotation or plagiarism? How can I sleep not knowing the answer??

:D

I Quite liked the German Song... a Bit Lily Allen..  Whatever It was probably a relief to Hand over the Bill for Next Year to the Germans...  I think the Norwegian TV Channel were so in Debt to it they cannt even afford to Cover the "World Cup" now .. Yeah its Hugely Expensive.   .. :cool:
