Eurovision
May 15, 2009
The most important annual, pan-european, musical singing contest is kicking into high gear. I present to you Germany’s entry to the contest, rumored to be supported in the finale show by a Dita Von Teese strip show of some sort. The hastily put together, nomenclature-challenged duo, Alex Swings Oscar Sings, performs the song, Miss Kiss Kiss Bang.
Taking the concept of Eurotrash to a new level seems to be a key requirement for the competition. Have you ever seen the jacket with no shirt underneath look pulled off so flawlessly anywhere else?? They are clearly a shoe-in. Props for integrating it into the 50’s Americana swing-vibe though.
Listen to it twice and good luck getting it out of your head.
Update: Ok, leave it to the Americans to get involved in a Eurovision controversy, but apparently Ms. Teese got kind of innapropriate, a la Janet Jackson. “Her nipples were however covered partly by some glittery stars. Whether this kind of nudity will be allowed by the Eurovision Song Contest bosses, remains to be seen. If so it will be a clear a new precedent on what is and what is not consider suitable for the Eurovision Song Contest stage,” according to esctoday.com . And yes that url stands for eurovision song contest today.com
And I’m done caring.
