Eurovision Taste Contest
Our family discovered the delights of the Eurovision Song Contest on Friday night. I have to say, we haven't laughed so much in a long time! Sir Terry Wogan is just a hoot with his caustic comments. But even he wasn't as funny as most of the acts.
And the funniest thing of all? The eventual winners! Lordi—Finland's entry—definitely won my prize for being the tackiest band with the worst lyrics and close to the worst music (yeah, I know—that's a big call when we're talking Eurovision 2006!).
But with words like this:
The walls come down like thunder
The rocks about to roll
It's the Arockalypse
Now bare your soul
and a chorus of:
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
...what's not to like?
Secretly I was hoping Lithuania would win. I thought their lyrics were perfectly in keeping with the subtlety of Eurovision:
We are the winners of Eurovision
We are, we are! We are, we are!
We are the winners of Eurovision
We are, we are! We are, we are!So, you gotta vote,
Vote, vote for the winners
Vote, vote, vote for the winners
Now, all I have to do is think of a Christian perspective on all this....Nuh, can't think of one. I just think it's too funny not to mention.
