    Austrian entry's lyrics:

    http://lyricstranslate.com
    We are ready, jewellery 24 carat, our beer has 12 degrees
    Dialect, yeah, the two of us are stars, looting bars, we are ready
    And all the people shout: “Heya heya hey”
    We are party indians, wear feathers on the head

    And now get your bosom out, the noodle soup gang arrives
    Rednecks, yay, haven’t seen such exuberance for a long time
    And they dance and they shake at the pole, at the ceiling
    I am enchanted, rednecks, look how they sprawl, uh-huh…

    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, yeah, yeah, that’s the way I like it
    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, as you are what I want

    And I enter the club, the ladies have fine jewellery
    But it’s there, there, where you don’t expect it at first
    I only look at her, she dances at the strip pole
    I’m ready, chap, lots of women, I don’t miss out on anything

    “Noodle soup gang, what’s up?” and everybody shouts: “Ho ho”
    And women are dancing, they only go low, low
    She twists me around her finger, she wants a winner, winner
    And then she can jump, jump, booty shake, bad finger

    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, yeah, yeah, that’s the way I like it
    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, as you are what I want

    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, yeah, yeah, that’s the way I like it
    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, as you are what I want

    Your bum has feelings, your bum is a part of you
    Don’t put it on chairs, your bum has an opinion, yeah
    Your bum wants movement, so shake, shake, shake
    Your bum wants encounters, come on, give it what it needs

    Your bum doesn’t get tired, your bum tells something about you
    Come, shake it, it wants it, so that the house starts vibrating
    Your bum has to be ready, so shake, shake, shake
    Your bum has to be ready, come on, give it what it needs

    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, yeah, yeah, that’s the way I like it
    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, as you are what I want

    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, yeah, yeah, that’s the way I like it
    Come on, shake your bum, shake your (ooh ooh)
    Shake your bum, as you are what I want

    Yeah I can see why its the bookies favourite.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,876 ✭✭✭Spread


    Yup! watch it religiously every year. Since the Soviet satellite states came into the equation things have changed but it still is entertainment. The snobs that deride it are the same as the ones that wince at the word McDonalds.

    How many snobs does it take to watch a Eurovision Final?

    One
    Them all - if nobody's looking
    !


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I will just to hear Marty Whelan's pathetic petty comments about other countries voting structures when its clear our joke entry isn't going to win.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 31,859 ✭✭✭✭Sharpshooter


    I'm waiting to see where the money comes from if Jedward win and we have to host it next year.:pac:

    One of the acts is (phonetically) called track shítters?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,936 ✭✭✭ewj1978


    Always watch it. Big euro party, plenty of beers and laughs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,213 ✭✭✭Sea Filly


    Just the voting.

    ALWAYS fascinating. That's what the Eurovision is really about, fook the songs.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,818 ✭✭✭swoody


    last time we won (1996)


    now....



    :(:(:(

    Yeah I will watch it. The other countries always send out their hottest women so there will be a bit of eye candy to look at. Some of the songs do be good as well.
    I won't be watching our "entry" though, those two just make me want to throw the TV through the window.


  • Registered Users Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    Yeah its a pity we couldn't send in a proper entry, theres plenty of decent song writers and artists in this country. If we start taking it seriously again we could once more have a chance of being victorious.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,802 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    Shouldnt they change it to Eurasiavision?

    Just reading the wiki page on Azerbaijan there, first democratic and secular republic in the Muslim world. Interesting looking place in general.

    We wouldn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning with a serious entry, in loads of countries in Europe Jedward are LOVED! Last year they went to number one in loads of countries. I think they are in with a great chance of winning!

    I don't know I'm bit suspicious of this supposed love for them in Europe, sure maybe the kids dig them but the men surely see what we see, a pair of **** in lycra.

    But then again men don't vote so these nancy boys could stand a chance of doing well.

    Ya see, you just made your own argument as to how Jedward will win... (I'm so proud;);) )

    That's exactly the point, it's the kids who vote, the kids who text and the kids who download! We don't have it in the bag, but I reckon we're in with a good shout!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭Mr Bump


    Wont watch this year, its getting worse then ever, some of the music is just pure crap, really cant subject myslef to it again, :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,781 ✭✭✭clappyhappy


    If jedward get to finals I will watch it.

    Course it is, but is that not kinda the point? Complete Euro Trash served on sequins and flashing lights!

    I'm avoiding it like the plague.

    I really don't feel like watching two closet homo's with ADHD yelling about lipstick while on half a kilo of coke.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    I haven't watched the Eurovision since 1995. Voting cliques and an increased volume of shyte entrants have made it virtually unwatchable.

    Was that the year of Katrina and the Waves?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic

    Haven't a clue, because thankfully Eurovision memories are just a blur for me now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 44,080 ✭✭✭✭Micky Dolenz


    Not a hope.
