Completely forgot about this, a bit of light relief from all the panic buying,

Mod Note: Posts #1 - #7 originally in this thread. Well there was Telex With Eurovision in 1980, although they were trolling really and became annoyed when they didn't come last. The original version of the song, (n)Eurovision cements that. and an almost German entry for 2003 was Scooter -...
