Well I tried watching it, but my brain gave up less than half way through. Expecting nul points on this one!

DoggerelBank · 06/03/2026 14:58

Aw, I think it's quite fun. But then I'm biased and any subtly anti-Brexit song is going to win my vote!

Fluffyholeysocks · 06/03/2026 15:26

Oh dear. Is this really our entry? Were there no other contenders?

BernadetteJune · 06/03/2026 15:47

It's different and we do need to try something different as our usual strategy is not working!!

HappyFace2025 · 06/03/2026 15:50

DP is friends with Look Mum No Computer so we are hoping he wins 😂 it'll be the first time DP will watch Eurovision.

"Send someone called Sam in a jumpsuit" appears to be the strategy.

I love it! Very Europop and very catchy - I'm still singing eins, zwei, drei hours later. Fingers crossed - but I feel that nil point for us has become part of the tradition of Eurovision.

Tbh it's not a terrible strategy cos this ain't as bad as a lot of other recent entries.

MouldyCandy · 06/03/2026 17:16

Hmmm. That is all.

yjo25 · 06/03/2026 17:23

Well we can’t win singing our own language so we might as well try singing German for a few extra points 😂

HaroldMeaker · 06/03/2026 18:28

Have to say I really love it! I’ve listened to it a few times and it’s super catchy and funny. Also the chap seems interesting.

MrsHaroldWilson · 06/03/2026 18:31

Good way to court the German vote 😆

Anonymousemouses · 06/03/2026 18:39

I love it, very different, but really reminiscent of the synth pop of my youth

Bruisername · 06/03/2026 18:45

I think it could do well!!! The staging could be amazing so they need to put the effort in there.

ultimately Sam Ryder did well because he really leant in to it and travelled around doing interviews etc. didn’t think it was all beneath him which the Uk can often do

bit ultimately the voting is so political it will probably compete with Germany for the nil point

cornbunting · 06/03/2026 18:47

I like it, it's fun, silly, and pro-European, which is perfect for Eurovision. And Austria are the hosts this year too, so why not include a bit of German. I think we stand a decent chance of winning more than nul points. It's a damn sight better than last year's entry which was technically good but deadly dull.

AfraidToRun · 06/03/2026 20:04

I love it so much. Best since Sam.

SabrinaThwaite · 06/03/2026 20:13

It’s like Thomas Dolby / Howard Johnson / The Thomson Twins meets Europop.

Whats not to like?

Laiste · 06/03/2026 20:22

It reminds me of the Lena Lovich (sp?) hit I Want Your Money.

It's OK. At least it's not set in a filthy toilet cubicle or features any cocks hanging out of shorts.

I don't watch EV anymore as the last couple of years has been a load of shite.

Thomas Dolby - thank you! That's who I was thinking of, but couldn't remember his name!

munchbunch12 · 06/03/2026 21:13

When I first heard it I was a bit unsure... but I've been humming it all day so when I got back from work I watched the video, and now I really like it!

DH had reminded me that it was Howard Jones.

Howard Johnson is a motel chain.

It’s very Eurovision (about time really). I like it.

TheOnlyLivingBoyInNewCross · 06/03/2026 21:41

I mean, all UK Eurovision entries are now regarded through the lens of “Thank GOD it’s not whatever that absolute shite by Olly Alexander was” so we can’t fail any more. Even if this gets nil points, we’ll still be able to comfort ourselves that at least this time we didn’t lose with some weird toilet porn video 🤷🏻‍♀️

Fucking hell yes.
