The one with the two priests singing it, can't remember the name of it but it was a song about a horse. My lovely horse that's the one.

Best Eurovision song has yet to be made. It will be when there is a collaboration of an international family doing a rendition of the famous joke The Aristocrats. Until then I ain't watching or listenin.

Where To

So so tempted to post that song.

I'm glad you asked. It was the Estonian entry in the 2011 eurovision, a song by Getter Jaani called Rockafeller Street, came second last, but i reckon if it was released by Gwen Stefani, it could have reached number 1

Who are the Kelly family? :rolleyes:

The Kelly Family is an Irish-American-European music group consisting of a multi-generational family, who play a repertoire of rock, pop and folk music. ..................They have sold over 20 million albums since the early 1980s.

For many years, the group presented a gypsy image and a vagabonding lifestyle, travelling around Europe in a double-decker bus and houseboat. Their image was enhanced by their eclectic and often homemade clothing, and the very long hair worn by both male and female members of the band.

Sorry I don't mean to be mean but I can't take somebody musically serious who has a picture and an affirmative quote of looks like shes taking a **** when she talks Britney Spears as their signature.

They rolled them out at feile 95, wasn't impressed. Think they are big in germany

nocoverart

I'll have to go with one of our songs and that would be Rock n Roll Kids. Very understated and simplistic, didn't need flame throwers in spandex to get it noticed. For the record I'm not a fan of Eurovision or thrashy POP music in general

If you don't like Britney you probably won't like my favourite Eurovision song either so you're not losing out. It's a catchy pop song so if that's not the music you're into then let my sig be a warning not to waste your time listening to it

To be fair to Miss Britney she has had one or two great tunes hence why I gave your link 10 seconds (i,e toxic) but she is such a deranged and egotistical snotty face wench that I tend to steer clear.

I didn't want to take this thread off topic but if you think she's egotistical or deranged you've obviously never seen her interviews. She's one of the few extremely humble pop artists out there right now

Back to Eurovision, I never downloaded this but I really liked it at the time it was on TV:

Edit: Whoops just realised I linked the Swedish language version, here's the English language version performed at the ESC

I have no interest in getting into a slagging match with you about the pros and cons of Miss Spears cos I have zero interest in her as I'm sure you would in my idols. You crack on and love what ye love.

Now hows about The Kelly Family doing The Aristocrats eh??? :P

well, no but if you think the Kelly family playing up to some sort of Aristocracy as our eurovision entry is a feile in itself then no.

Greece's 2008 entry is one of my personal favourites. They came 2nd or 3rd AFAIR
