A Potentially Pointless Post...

"Here I come, da da dum..." I totally do not have the song Lipstick by Jedward in my head at all, no... *Shifty eyes*... As well as Taken By A Stranger by Lena Meyer-Landrut... Hehehe...


So in case you didn't know already... The Eurovision Song Contest has been and gone... Turns out that Azerbaijan won... To which my reaction was WHAAAAAA?!?! Because, let's face it, it wasn't my most favourite of songs...


One of my favourites was Popular by Eric Saade for Sweden. Though he isn't the best when it comes to singing live, it's still a catchy song and of course... I loves me some Eric Saade! ^^)


I actually liked quite a fair few songs this year! I actually wanted a few countries to win... But one of them was NOT Azerbaijan... Let's just say that the stage next year will be nowhere near as epic as the stage was in Düsseldorf this year... *Sigh*


Moving on... [Carl] showed me a new song from the Lonely Islands a couple of days ago called Jack Sparrow. It features Michael Bolton. Though I have never heard of him before in my life, I absolutely have fallen in love with his voice... And the fact that he is referred to as a "cinephile" which means someone who is quite fond of films...


The song is the most random thing I have ever heard... You have the Lonely Islands singing about being in a club and trying to hook up with these girls (you know, the usual kind of music we have nowadays...), then you have Michael just randomly start singing about Jack Sparrow! The first time I heard this I was literally LOL'ing for quite some time...


Especially when later on you have Michael dress up and sing about Jack Sparrow, Forrest Gump, Erin Brockavich (Yes, that is a scary one...) and Scarface (while throwing around cocaine...). I mean... What's not to love? :P


Of course the language in the song isn't the best at times... (Especially the very last line). But the song is insanely catchy! I didn't think it would get in my head and stay there as much as it has... Of course, this makes it difficult to think... What with all the other Eurovision, Eric Saade, WICKED, and other random songs from anything beginning with Chamber Singers to (what I think) is classic music that I have grown up with (mostly my Dad's music (which is a fair amount of country...)).


I'm not entirely sure what the point of this post was... But I am running out of time (Spare lesson) so I shall end it here! :D

You had never heard of Michael Bolton? D=

Ahahaha I would love to see the part about Scarface. That would be epic.

Dude, like, Denmark should've won Eurovision, bro. Just sayin' ^^
