    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.

    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.

    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 :)
