Rants and a Meme.

Could anybody tell me why there are only lovesongs playing on TV? It's like somebody looks at all the confused and broken hearts and says 'Hey fuck them- LET'S PLAY CHEESY LOVESONGS.'
Snogging couples - check.
The singer running around and smiling at the couples - check.
CHEESY LYRICS - check.
RAAAAAGEEEEEEEE. (WTF I just found out that the Walking in Memphis version I've always heard is sung by Cher, I always thought it was a guy singing!)

Also, I think it's really unfair that Lena won the Eurovision yesterday. None of the other performers had gotten such big publicity before the show, I didn't know ANY of them. Lena on the other hand was constantly present in the news. To me it seems suspiciously like a lot of cheating was going on.

Another thing, does anybody know what Ice Tea McDonald's uses? I always thought it was Nestea, but I've got them next to each other and they taste differently. I love it lots, I NEED TO KNOW WHERE IT'S FROM!

And now the meme, snagged from owls_are_not on LJ.

Put your music player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The twenty-first song's first line is the title.

Caught in a bad romance
I can swear I feel the beating of a cold, cold heart
An old fairytale told me
Alright I'm ready
Look at us break our bonds in this kitchen
Easy lover
The stranger sang a theme
I'm nothing special, in fact I'm a bit of a bore
I'm the king's thirty-second son
I'm gonna make you bend and break
I wake up with blood-shot eyes
That's M O N E Y, so sexy I
When you, when you forget your name
Easy living, killed the young dudes
Your sorry eyes
Whistle for the boys now don't be shy
I am a little bit of loneliness, a little bit of disregard
Voted most likely to end up on the back of a milkbox-drink
Light skin, dark skin, my Asian persuasion
I'm not a crybaby, I'm the crybaby
Man with a crown

Haha, that's awesome!

Everyone I spoke to that night loved the German song.. XD But none of us know who she is. She only got the publicity where you live I guess. Like on Greek TV, Greece, Cyprus and a few of the other countries that live around there got the publicity.

Besides, it's all politics anyway XD

Greece - 12 points to Cyprus
Cyprus - 12 points to Greece
Russia - 12 points to some other Soviet Union country thing
Some other Soviet Union country thing - 12 points to Russia

And so on. It's not real XD

Eurovision isn't really about the music anymore. Perhpaps we'd stand a better chance if we divided the country up into England, Wales and Scotland. Then we'd simply vote for each other.

...or we could use a better song.

It's really funny, all of the Eastern countries gave the points to each other. Even our commentator was saying something like 'ORLY? I couldn't have guessed that.'

The UK was simply awful. Well, none of them were REALLY great actually, except for Ireland.

Eurovision's all about looks these days, they only send make-up-dolls with short dresses and rather bad voices there. I rolled my eyes when I saw the first entry that evening and it was just the stereotype <.<

Well, we came last. We can only get better.

Then again, that's what I was thinking after Eurovision 2007...

"We're flying the flag all over the world
Flying the flag for you"

Sounds like pretty much all music nowadays. A bunch of people who all look the same (fake) and use computerised voices. It's stupid.
