heh.

I was holding out for Frank Sidebottom (well fuck it, lordi won.. )

 

[milesy]

i think he mentioned something about this when we saw him at wembley last month.

that would be cool

 

[goldenecitrone]

Do you think he'll get the band back together?

 

[Dubversion]

Much as I love him, I think he'd come unstuck. He's not wacky enough for the Lordi vote, but he's also not naff enough for the 'boom bang wicky wacky bam' Eurovision style. Unless he pulls some Johnny Logan weepie out of the bag, i think he'd only do well in a few countries.

 

[milesy]

Do you think he'll get the band back together?

nope. i don't think that would ever happen. and besides, the band he has at the moment are fucking ace

Maybe not. But just imagine 'The Queen is Dead' blasting out across the whole of Europe. Although I'm sure they'd have to come up with some new material. Anyway, just the Mozza on Eurovision would be fantastic even if he doesn't come in the top ten.

the band he's got now are better at playing the smiths tunes than the smiths were.

he did, and it was very tongue in cheek - and everyone cheered (of course!)

"How come the country that is THE best at pop music in the world (i.e. us) keeps on sending shit like this to the Eurovision? 7) We should send Morrissey." - Swells

Still, always next year to look forward to.

Come on everybody!

"Asylum seeker in Fubus
He's ghastly and he's vile
Oh drape me in a union jack
While the skinheads shout Sieg Heil."

Morrissey? Doing Eurovision?



Most bizarre.

Well, he's always been a big fan of Sandie Shaw. Maybe it's always been a secret ambition of his.

Morrissey Euro songs:

This charming bing-bong-a-bang

Heaven knows I’m Israel now

First of the gang to get Nul Points

Used to be a Swede boy

Well, he's always been a big fan of Sandie Shaw. Maybe it's always been a secret ambition of his.

If he does a cover of "Puppet on a String" barefoot, he deserves a landslide victory

This Charming EU Mandate.

Subsidisers of the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU Unite

Hand in Handschuh.

Brussels is bigger than Aachen.

First of the gang to get Nul Points

Surely, William It Was Really Nul Points

 

[Dubversion]

You're The One For Me, Froggy..

 

[DRINK?]

all he's good for IMHO

 

[kained&able]

At least if he is doing a eurovision song the odds of me actully having to hear it are very very low.

that is basicly turning a frown upside down though.

Who cares? It would be a laugh for sure!

I have to strongly disagree. Boz Boorer is not Johnny Marr and never will be. Too fat for a start.

I think it's a mistake. He isn't going to win it.

You're The One For Me, Griffy

 

[milesy]

i've just read the BBC article - the quote that they atribute to him ("I was horrified but not surprised to see the UK fail," he said. "Why didn't they ask me?") i now remember were his actual words at his wembley gig in december

 

[goldenecitrone]

I think there should be a play-off between Morrissey and Leo Sayer. Whoever wins gets to represent us.

 

[clandestino]

Copliker and goldencitrone, you've both had me laughing like a drain. My hat is off to you, sirs.
