Tim: Last week, Bulgaria announced they wouldn’t be taking part in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest. That’s sort of a shame.
Tim: I say ‘sort of’, I’m not really sure.
Tom: Crikey. Did they decide to just freestyle it? Could they not agree on a key?
Tim: I think there’s a song in there somewhere, but I can’t be entirely sure. It certainly not what I, or most likely anyone else, ended up focusing on. We have fire in the background, we have capes, we have countertenor singing, we have ludicrous floor decoration, and we have dancers on stilts swinging each other around in what appears to be a direct attempt to fly off into the crowd. This is, basically, the epitome of this ‘Eurovision WTF-ery’ that people occasionally mention.
Tom: Only without a decent tune attached to it.
Tim: There is of course an official video, which features a medieval battlefield, two women kissing, a child clutching a doll with its head caved in, a pair of dwarves, the grim reaper and some softcore porn for good measure.
So yeah, we may well not see this ever again. Not sure I’m complaining.
