Moopyvision National Final Rate - HEAT 9. SATURDAY 23rd APRIL 4:30pm

[dmlaw]

I always assume it's what Girls Aloud album tracks must sound like.

If this were Girls Aloud, you’d be able to hear Cheryl squawking about how she doesn’t know any Italian.

 

[Penelope]

BAD BOYS!

 

[dmlaw]

This Spanish song is actually excellent though.

 

[ButterTart]

No seriously, this rips the ARSE out of something from the late 00s

The intro reminds me of something, but I can't think what.

 

[Penelope]

OMG KIZUNGUZUNGU

SaRaha - Kizunguzungu - 2016 - Sweden
Submitted by @ButterTart
Beaten by Frans - If I Were Sorry

 

[Penelope]

Wonder if she ever did find the cure

 

[dmlaw]

What are we running for? I THINK YOU KNOW.

 

[Penelope]

God, fucking imagine if Sweden had just gritted its teeth and sent this to Eurovision that year

 

[ButterTart]

I love that this reached the final against pretty much all logic and probability.

 

[dmlaw]

I don’t know if having black dancers makes this less or more problematic.

 

[ButterTart]

Christer shoehorning afrobeat into Melfest but doing it through the medium of the whitest African possible.

 

[ButterTart]

I don’t know if having black dancers makes this more or less problematic.

She actually is Tanzanian, which softens things a bit.

Sarah Tyler - It's Your Time - 2016 - Switzerland
Submitted by @Tetris-Rock
Beaten by Rykka - The Last of Our Kind

 

[Penelope]

This is really giving me 'back of the bus on someone's Motorola' #47 hit in 2008

 

[dmlaw]

You could have told me that this song was from any year at all and I would have believed you.

 

[Penelope]

Oh this Trinny (sp?) track is FANTASTIC!

 

[ButterTart]

Trine Jepsen - I'll Never Fall in Love Again - 2009 - Denmark
Submitted by @auretz
Beaten by Niels Brinck - Believe Again

 

[ButterTart]

As if Poundshop Ronan Keating beat this

 

[ButterTart]

Dog's barking so I need to nip out to her. BRB

 

[dmlaw]

Oh dear. This is usually where ButterTart disappears for 45 minutes and then blames it all on international terrorists when he returns.

 

[ButterTart]

Feryal Başel - Unuttuğumu Sandığım Anda - 1999 - Turkey
Submitted by @Haiku

 

[Penelope]

Yeah, I'm flagging here.

 

[ButterTart]

Apologies for my disappearance, by the way. Bloody international terrorists wanted me to rejoin their organisation. I had to just look them square in the eye and say 'I loved my time in Now United but I need to move on'.

 

[ButterTart]

Anna Eriksson - Oot voimani mun - 2000 - Finland
Submitted by @dmlaw
Beaten by Nina Åström - A Little Bit

 

[ButterTart]

I honestly don't know what Finland sent in 2000 that could have been better than THIS.

 

[dmlaw]

Yeah, I'm flagging here.

Look, there’s only…shit…seventeen songs to go and then we’re free.

 

[ButterTart]

Claudia Faniello - Caravaggio - 2008 - Malta
Submitted by @Madison
Beaten by Morena - Vodka

 

[ButterTart]

Look, there’s only…shit…seventeen songs to go and then we’re free.

Fifteen minutes, tops.

 

[dmlaw]

Fifteen minutes, tops.

It’s not like we’re @funky listening to an ASFM heat.

 

[dmlaw]

I thought that songs which won the entire contest weren’t allowed in this rate.

 

[ButterTart]

Charlotte Perrelli - The Girl - 2012 - Sweden
Submitted by @ZenGiraffe
Beaten by L'oreal - Euphorica

 

[ButterTart]

I was singing this in the street in Glasgow the other day. The Scottish Mooper I was with commented on the fact that I was doing the key chance.

The real surprise was that @octophone knew where the key change was meant to be.

 

[ButterTart]

She really should have qualified, won and then won Eurovision with that

 

[ButterTart]

Liquid Gold - Don't Panic - 1981 - United Kingdom

Beaten by Bucks Fizz - Making Your Mind Up

 

[ButterTart]

The ethereal, oblongular beauty of her from Liquid Gold.

 

[ButterTart]

Aitana & Ana - Lo Malo - 2018 - Spain
Submitted by @Soldi
Beaten by Amaia and Alfred - Tu canción

 

[ButterTart]

Looks like @Soldi actually can find Spanish songs to submit to Moopy contests when it suits him.

 

[dmlaw]

Each of these girls has the whole ‘bored prostitute’ look just right.
