She didn't, didn't, didn't want me / Until I had the money

[x_dj]

Twelve more days until Eurovision week, the best three nights of television of the year. It's a goddamn retro circuit party.

I'm liking Germany's entry (and Dita von Teese will be dancing on stage, brraow) and Iceland's, and a little disappointed with Sweden's (she's a fucking opera singer, who decided she should do shitty pop? Leave that to the professionals). Israel's sucks, but that's not a surprise, they haven't had a decent entry since Dana International in 1998, and before that not since Ofra Haza in 1983. This kid from Norway is cute and has a very strong voice (also, violin!) but he has no stage presence. I just don't understand Belgium's or Bulgaria's, so to be safe maybe they should be booted from the EU. And look, James McAvoy is apparently Bosnian (and not a good singer, either).

Ultimately, though, Serbia should win (omg this guy is awesome):

Oh, that is very catchy. I like it. What is he saying? (Why do I always need to know these things when Doug is away and out of the office?)

It doesn't matter. I'm just entranced by his hair.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

That is impressive hair. I wonder how much work that takes him.

Fork + electric socket?

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

I do not think that would result in an even and well-coiffed afro like he has.

According to the BBC: "Marko Kon had short hair until he was thirty years old although he always wanted to let it grow. His wish finally came true. His hair is naturally curly and every thread acts on its own initiative."

So, clearly he's a mutant. He may be related to Queen Medusa.

Clearly he has some kind of subconscious control over his hair. Maybe he is a distant cousin?

Essentially, like the translation Mark put in the title of the post, the woman is shallow and didn't want him until he got rich.

That is the whole of the song? That is it? Oh well. I still like his hair.

[x-cypher.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's kind of on the repetitive side. Catchy, though.

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

Quite.

SONOFA.

Now I have that annoying song from that video with the girl twirling the leek stuck in my head for no apparent reason.

This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gsmx4DcvZ5c Well, I have been playing it on my laptop.
