Neil Innes Mr. Eurovision Song Contest Man

An interesting song from the Innes Book of Records, with every Eurovision Song title cliche going. Funny.

The lyrics are great. Neil really should be the UK's Eurovision representative next year.

'What a lot of weather we've been having lately.'

This should be the UK entry in next years Eurovision and take the piss out of all the other entries.

Get Englebert to sing this!

If the Irish can be silly enough to enter Jedward and a turkey it's about time the UK gave Neil his shot, instead whatever Simon Cowell rejects we enter these days.

What an absolute classic. This would've won Eurovision by streets. Thanx for posting

This is absolutely brilliant. It begs the question: how did the continent of Europe - which spawned such purveyors of culture as Handel, Bach, Haydn, Mozart, Schubert, Beethoven, Gounod, Rossini, Puccini, Chopin, etc - end up at that cultural bogland which is the Eurovison Song Contest? What went wrong?
