Eurovision Rewatch: Zagreb 1990 (20.00 21/11/20)

[ButterTart]

Eurocat is just too sinister.

Paedocat

 

[Madíson]

 

[Madíson]

This still makes me CACKLE

 

[dmlaw]

It's enough to make you wish for a Serb mortar round.

 

[ButterTart]

The crowd clapping Did they think that was the song?

 

[Lucille]

What is HAPPENING?

 

[Tisch]

I've seen a small clip of that before but didn't realise how long it DRAGS ON

 

[GNL]

This is going well

 

[Madíson]

Sigh. The revisionist country naming is back.

 

[Soldi]

That went as well as my 00s Night

 

[lolly]

The crowd clapping Did they think that was the song?

I think they thought they were cheering on the arrival of a bingo caller.

 

[ButterTart]

These poor women. Their grandkids were watching and everything

 

[lolly]

I reckon her on the left murdered whoever was responsible for the fuck up with her bare hands after.

 

[dmlaw]

That went as well as my 00s Night

Actually, I think that Maroon 5 are the entry for Czechoslovakia tonight.

 

[ButterTart]

I don't remember this being so shouty and tuneless.

 

[Alex]

Okay loved the cringe moment between the presenters and maybe a song you will fall in love to EURGH
WTF at the Spain technical issues hikarious
I rather like the song too

 

[Tisch]

It was better when they weren't singing

 

[Soldi]

Quite a SULTRY BANGER.

 

[Madíson]

60 Spain

 

[Lucille]

I’m exhausted after that.

 

[lolly]

70 Spain

 

[ButterTart]

Oh, another TWENTY MINUTE postcard so we can look at some beaches and trinkets.

 

[dmlaw]

I don't remember this being so shouty and tuneless.

Having checked the previous 1990 rewatch thread, you only posted in it once. Is it possible that you are thinking of a different shambolically run contest?

Oh, I already knew about the Spain debacle before we started doing these.

 

[Suomi]

Luxembourg and Yugoslavia this year are two of me faves, and Norway but you guys won’t like that

 

[ButterTart]

The 90s really were a style desert, weren't they?

 

[Madíson]

Does he have mullet extensions?

 

[lolly]

Is this man very unfortunately shaped, or are those clothes spectacularly unflattering?

 

[dmlaw]

I think he uses the same tailor as Joe Wilkinson.

 

[Madíson]

What a final note.

 

[Tisch]

Love how he ends the quite nice song on a "AHHHHHH"

 

[lolly]

70 Spain
40 Greece

 

[Madíson]

60 Spain
30 Greece

 

[Tisch]

Oh fuck off Eurocat. It's not even a cat!

 

[Alex]

Were there mascots in other years?

 

[dmlaw]

You know the postcards are struggling when they say, 'it's Belgium, quick, throw in a shot of the European Parliament'.

 

[Soldi]

Were there mascots in other years?

There was Dana International (94) in 2019

 

[dmlaw]

Were there mascots in other years?

They couldn't come up with anything that would be as beloved as Eurocat.

 

[dmlaw]

The green trousers and orange jacket are certainly a style choice.

 

[ButterTart]

I thought songs weren't allowed to be any longer than three minutes?
