And considering that Mr. Logan seems to be the paragon of excellence that Ireland often seems to strive for in Eurovision, he does have that sort of messiah-like aura about him, doesn't he? But I'm probably the wrong person to ask, as I'm an agnostic who was raised Jewish...<br /><br />As for the "collar" lyric, a man having lipstick on his collar means that he's had some sort of flirtation...Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268580219171083285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537116796896109976.post-35912718244099464792011-02-13T13:32:48.020-06:002011-02-13T13:32:48.020-06:00Well, I guess you are right about their role in so...Well, I guess you are right about their role in society; it would be pretty freaky if the twins were to turn all Farmerian on us (if you know who Mylène Farmer is, that is the style I mean. She has no connections to Eurovision, now that I think of it, but she is still huge in France.)!<br /><br />Look at my collar? And that is supposed to mean what, exactly?<br /><br />By the way, I think Johnny Logan is still alive. I think the "second coming" expression is used for people who are dead, is it not?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537116796896109976.post-15687588459036883252011-02-13T13:04:00.780-06:002011-02-13T13:04:00.780-06:00I know! Pedophiles rigged the voting! ARGH!
As fo...I know! Pedophiles rigged the voting! ARGH!<br /><br />As for the song: the hook is nothing more than that little rise on the "Lip" syllable amidst relatively monotone/repetitive melody. There is also nothing much below the surface, and lyrics do not help this.<br /><br />It does sound awful much like Melodifestivalen-reject, now that I hear it put that way!<br /><br />That is NOT how the lyrics go, but now I won't be able to think of them the same way after I read that comment!

They want a bit of fun, which the twins more than provide!<br /><br />(Oh, and it's "collar", not "color/colour", by the way...still not a genius lyric, but oh, well.)Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268580219171083285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537116796896109976.post-45702429717403699682011-02-13T10:55:59.538-06:002011-02-13T10:55:59.538-06:00Don't do it, boys!

It was written by Swedes who did not want to face rejection from their own country, so they went over to the desperate Irish who would more readily accept them.<br /><br />Awful lyrics, too:<br />"I got my LIP-stick ON, here I come, da DA dam, we got our LIP-stick ON, here we come, da DA dam, check out my COLOR, hey, hey, check out my COLOR, hey, hey!"<br /><br />Speaking of Da Da Dam, I look forward to your Finnish post! As well as Maltese, Icelandic, and Norwegian ones! You got work to do...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
