The winner of the danish contest is crap, but the song that came in third was good (and should obviously have won) - here the latter is:

It's bloody brilliant. Good on the people of Ireland for having the sense of humour to vote Dustin in. He's a legend - has had about three number one albums already!
Here he is performing the song. Love the toilet seat!

Hey, I'm Sneaky Snake - do I have an alter ego in Dublin I don't know about or something?

Hey No Muscle Mary! Don't worry...you don't have any alter ego in Dublin
.Damn I see what you mean...just noticed your avatar!Sorry!!
I think it's great that Dustin was picked.It is saying a lot when this was the best of the bunch!We've been sending turkeys to the Eurovision for the past few years, and now we get to send a real one (albeit a puppet!)
Can't wait to hear what Terry Wogan has to say about this!!!

I saw a piece in a paper where Terry Wogan was saying the song has his backing!
So this year, we need everyone to vote for Turkey!

Much better than the s**t Ireland has usually sent there.

Ahem... I didn't vote Lordi there!
(No offense but Ireland has never been my ESC fave country.)

We have won it a record 7 times!! Don't know whether that is something to brag about,though!

I'll agree that our entries have been shameful - even if half of Europe fancied Johnny Logan there for a while. But then I think most countries' entries are shameful.
We can take credit for one thing though - we did have the best interval act ever in Riverdance. I know the thing has been done to death now, but when it was performed for the first time ever, it was breathtaking.
I remember back in the eighties, Germany won with this awful song called 'A Little Peace' by Nicole. My mother tortured our household by playing it to infinity. *cringe*

Now on my internal jukebox. Grr!
I love the Father Ted episode where they are chosen to represent Ireland so Ireland can lose and therefore not have to host Eurovision yet again.
