Johnny Rotten Irish Eurovision Entry 2018?

Arne_Saknussem

This i'd actually like to see

Apparently John's up for it but it could will probably be vetoed by RTE, who'll send Shane Filan singing a song written by Nathan Carter & Bressie.

Rotten would make it to the Final though i'd reckon, but possibly not well enough known to the yoof to pull off the victory.

Always felt that this country never probably recognised his achievements properly.

They could have a bearded lady on it, I still wouldn't give a shíte.

Oh...wait...

Sid was a talentless halfwit, he could be doing the Macarena in there and noone would care.

For the time the Sex Pistols were brilliant....Johnny Rotten went on to form PIL and some of their music is well worth listening to

If given the go ahead he plans on bringing the current PIL lineup on board for the Eurovision push.

Ah c'mon now, he was a talentless chump that managed to get lucky. A triumph of PR over substance and no different to the likes of Milli Vanilli. It would be a bit rich for him to turn in his grave at Johnny Rotten in the Eurovision!

Anything is possible,after all we are the country that sent an idiot under a table with his hand up the arse of a turkey puppet.

Sid Vicious - or as Freddie Mercury once called him, "Simon Ferocious"

John Lydon would be great in the Eurovision.

Here is a bit of trivia... Steve Vai played lead guitar on this

Rubberchikken

Gos i hope not.
He might actually win.

We had this conversation several years ago with Dustin: the gimmick might or might not work, but it won't work without a decent song.

We have thousands of Eastern Europeans living here in Ireland, we need to get a bunch of them to form a band, come up with a catchy tune and we’ll have a chance. Sending the usual bunch of shíte irish nobody’s will result in 0 points as usual.

Joe Dolan was never in the Eurovision.

Fvck that.

Send those two fellas over to sing 'Rock and Roll Kids', again. Can't fail.

Help!!!!

Better suggestion ( if Johnny Rotten aint picked )

Send no one
Do not show on tv

Next year repeat

It seems to me that the only criteria our entries must have is that they appeal to Louis Walsh. And he knows squat about music.

Now don't get me wrong, if I had a job where I could procure young wans who wanted something from me I'd be there like a rat up a drainpipe but we need to win this again, Sweden are nipping at our skirts!!!!

The Eurovision is the saddest thing of all time. The fact that Johnny Logan and Linda Martin are still dining out out on their woeful songs to this day is pathetic.

Yep you found me lol!!!!!!

We have our fan club meetings in a Mini now, since the demise of the phone box!

Church on Tuesday

It's the Metro reporting, so I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Won't happen but I'd love to see it!

AllGunsBlazing

The Eurovision was our world cup once upon a time. Before the former Soviet Bloc countries stole it from us!



Edit - And there's the name of our winning song for Johnny to wail along to.

Jedward and dustin were the final nail in the coffin for irish entries. It'll take exactly 400 years to get past that.

Jerichoholic

It was dead long before that, remember Joseph McCaul?

Agent Coulson

A Johnny Rotten & Shane MacGowan duet if that doesn't win we should never enter again.

All the closet Eurovision fans are out ..... (of the closet ) .....
