Neds vs Eurovision
So, the past midnight scene in St Andrews might be a bit sad with Neds strolling past my house singing at the top of their lungs: I’m a Wanker! And how right they are… Neds and wankers just seem to fit perfectly together, like two sides of the same coin to be quite honest. Actually, come to think of it, I should perhaps not be so quick to judge these poor little Neds and their barely dressed little female friends. I mean, hell, I come from the land of the ice and snow as Led Zeppelin sang so famously all these years ago and erm…the Icelandic Eurovision scene is well, a tad bit wacky (I want to point it out straight away that the Microsoft Word type/write-correctly-gadget didn’t recognize the word “wanker” and wanted to change wankers to winkers…but didn’t put any objection to the word Eurovision… a conspiracy of the literate? Yes, I would abso-bloody-lutely say so!). Of course, we haven’t reached Ned’s standard (wherever the one and only Ned might be…), but the latest horrific scandal of my nation’s almost 20 year old Eurovision-participation history is that one of the songs in the pre-contest has accidentally leaked out on the internet. Oh, the shame! I don’t think a proud nation such as mine can ever deal with the repercussions of this horrible thing. Even one of the other songwriters has filed a lawsuit! Surely an incident like this would only happen on the mainland, the habitat of the Euro-corrupt bastards. Anyway, the translated lyrics of the infamous songs go something like:Hey you disgustingly cool, I am talking to you…born in Reykjavik, no out of town freak…I know I’ll win the fucking final… Congrats Iceland that I was born here, I’m Silvía Nótt and all you are rooting for me! Eurovision nation will have a seizure when I arrive…my song is disgustingly cool, not at 90s revulsion, it is tough o.k. is not gay…I am here to stay. The other bitches in the competition have pimples on their faces…
And so it goes. Actually I have to add that this is all naturally so much cooler in the Icelandic non-translated version, yes, because it rhymes in that one…
I honestly believe this song, Eurovision Nation, could win, I just hope they won’t translate the lyrics which are sort of offensive towards the rest of Europe. Now all we have to do is add these stupid tribal drums that seem to hit the “right” spot among the other so-called Eurovision nations. Oh well, after the atrocity of last year’s Eurovision in that ungrateful shithole they call Kiev…See what premature democracy has done to these people dammitt? Not letting that gorgeous Icelandic song into the final…Shame on you Eastern Europe! Communism was too good for you! Ok, I think I’m going a teensy weensy overboard here…Anyway, for the next Eurovision, incidentally hosted in the interestingly and unmistakenly roofless houses on that Greek hill…VOTE ICELAND!! P.s.
