Surprise! It's 1923...



OK. This was a bit of a surprise, I must admit...

The UK entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2015 has been announced, and... It's a Charleston!

How bizarre.

Still, it is quite jolly - and could have been soooooo much worse.

Let me know what you think.

  5. Heavens - the Brit's really, really do not want to win the Eurovision! For a country that has produced such an amazing amount of fantastic music through the years, the mind boggles over the Eurovision entries...

    1. I really like it, actually! We'll see, however, whether the rest of Europe thinks the same. Jx

  6. I have only heard it once, and while I may like it (time will tell), I can't see this doing anything in Eurovision. In any case, at least it's somewhat fun...

  7. How quickly we forget about the dreadful "That Sounds Good To Me" (I think that's what it was called anyways. It did NOT sound good to me!)
