Eurovision Song Contest

[John_Carrick]

The Greek entry tonight featured several guys wearing kilts (Black with white stripes), entitled "Alcohol is Free". Good craic but voted for Ireland of course.Greece_Eurovision_2013_Koza_Mostra_Agathon.jpg

It's Koza Mostra feat. Agathon Iakovidis with the song "Alcohol is free" google them and get confused. They sometimes wear tartan kilts but choose to wear them in strange ways.

Here's a video of that song, kilts, sneakers, et al:

The song did pretty well in the vote too, unlike those from countries that used to win regularly such as the UK and Ireland.

Much as I love Bonnie Tyler, our song was rubbish which was not her fault. The contest is now the exclusive domination of Scandinavia and Eastern Europe with "neighbourly" voting being the largest determining factor.

We did not even make the final (unlike at the hockey world championship in the same country ) I guess it isn't neighbourly voting, it's more likely travelling and emigrational voting because many people in western europe don't really care. I've never voted for Eurovision.

I was shocked Ireland did not do better (trois points), when it was almost impossible for the country to lose 20 years ago.
Anyway, no one died.

That is quite a surprise considering "Alcohol is free"
