Finland, Finland, Finland

Last night was the 51st Eurovision song contest. Our annual dose of odd euro-tunes and strange dancing. This year, a Finnish band came out of left field and won by a comfortable mile by dressing like aliens and playing some Death Metal.



In reality, it was about as metal as Mcfly. It was very entertaining though, and featured lines like "It's the a-rock-a-lypse" which it would be hard to use in any song in a bad way.

Lithuania deserve a special mention for possibly the most blatantly unsubtle. yet briliant lyrics I've ever witnessed: "we are the winnners, of Eurovision - vote for us" etc. They came about fifth in the end which made them liars. Shame.
