Tu es BASIQUE?

And the year before that they came second with one from Martinique! France were on a real run with it at this point.

Then of course they went for CORSICA the year after this

This guy is Martinique, 1990 was Guadeloupe.

Yes, I did have to look that up.

Almost the equivalent of sending Marine Le Pen

How did this win Melodifestivalen? Were the other songs just the sound balloons make when you rub them?

 

[Penelope]

Honestly, who'd have KNOWN this cow had it in her to revolutionise Eurovision for two decades?

90s Melodifestivalen was....not much to write home about. It did manage to beat out a Swedish take on Ze rak sport though

Omg I went on my loo break for Christer! Sorry @Hak

@RaspberrySwirl fuming that you've given away his next ASFM entry

Well. At least he paid back his deposit

 

[Dark Carnival]

Feel like Portugal is going to finish us

 

[Penelope]

'I love fresh water'. I'm guessing this is about when it finally runs clear?

Omg a lesbian douching anthem!

Looking like a young Nicola Sturgeon

 

[Penelope]

RIP Dina

Oh no

 

[dmlaw]

It’s like if Annie Lennox never gave up her job in the fishmongers.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Lesbian vending machine incident?

 

[win_the_game]

Such a beautiful language.

 

[D5K]

I enjoyed the key change

 

[Tisch]

Did Cyprus have ACTUAL TITS OUT for their postcard?

 

[Penelope]

God Evridiki really is TREMENDOUS value

 

[Penelope]

Alas, the song ISN'T

 

[win_the_game]

SULTRY GEM

Reminder of when I was in Germany and the TV frequently had open bobs onscreen in the middle of the day. At the gym I remember being absolutely MESMERED by a show that literally consisted of topless women sliding down a slide and NOTHING ELSE for a whole 45 minutes. Europeans are so funny.

Anyway, Cyprus - another one of those songs that sounds like it's had a nasty cut and paste error in its final export and they've just had to go with it
