Let's Get Happy!


Another weekend of Eurovision qualifiers beckons. Two friends are in Germany right now for tonight's Countdown Grand Prix in Kiel. The rest of us are making do with watching it live on TV at B&K's, but it's always one of the highlights of the Eurovision season. One of the songs, 'Let's Get Happy' bu Lou, is just the campest, gayest thing you've ever heard. Bryan is cheerleading for it, but I'm not so sure. It does have a fantastic animated video (on the right) AND include the line 'let's get happy and let's be gay' and I do remember the tune after hearing it only once three weeks ago, but it's possibly just toooo camp. Germany tried the Big Old Gay Disco Anthem last year, and fell spectacularly from grace, so it will be interesting to see if the televoters dare go there again. All the songs are here.

Also this weekend, Ireland decides, Turkey reveals, France reveals, and Croatia revels - in three nights of songs on TV before choosing on Sunday. And to think we get 40 minutes for ours...
