Eins zwei, sieben sieben...TANZEN!

This year’s Euro-vision song festival brought us the usual musical (to use the term loosely) onslaught. A while ago it seemed like there could actually be some quality acts with rumors of Jarvis Cocker and even Morrissey (!) participating. But alas. Although Swedish glam rockers The Ark participated they did not impress since the category camp and glam already had a clear-cut winner.

Serbia won this year proving that Euro-vision isn’t just for gays but also for lesbians. The horrible ballad probably got a lot of votes from neighboring countries and not nescessarily because the song was awesome.
Because the most awesome song won second place.


Ulkedoof’s vote went to Ukrainian drag queen Verka Serduchka whose song was simply the most entertaining (“don’t live to dance, dance to live”). This is the song that could be annoying the hell out of you all summer: Dancing lasha tumbai (on Balkanshare appropriately enough, just press the button). And here is the fabulous video for full effect.
