Bit of Febreze and some bulldog clips and it was fine.

Hubby said he looks like an Italian Bob Geldoff 🤣

Oh no need. They have them by default. Good move.

Why does he have Andy at the bottom of his shoe lol

The lyrics are odd !

In need of a large plate of spaghetti carbonara

This has really grown on me.

The Italian guy looks like he smells like Jack Sparrow

Why are so many channeling the 1970’s tonight ?

I like this one

Oh he needs some sunshine and a decent meal

He needs some vitamins and some sunlight.

Toy Story reference? 🤷🏼‍♀️

He does look a bit like Bob Geldof in his younger days!
It has a 70s vibe.

This is possibly the best song so far tonight. I mean, there's not much competition, but even so

Prefer Italy to Portugal. Still a bit dull but they have more stage presence and actually as I type it’s picking up a bit.

Temu Ziggy Stardust

Making me want to start singing hey Jude for some reason nahhh nahhh nahhhh…..

I think this is what always turns out to be a winner for me - i don’t get it, then it wins and I go ‘oh yeah, it’s pretty good actually’. Every year!

His mama is looking at him thinking.
Get home here for some of my pasta and a bit of sun ?

Someone has watched the famous David Bowie and Mick Ronson doing Starman on Top of the Pops. Possibly on a loop, in a basement.

I quite like it, though.

David Bowie vibes from Italy and how graaaaand is that piano?

This is definitely my favourite so far.

I love this. A mix of The Beatles and Bowie

🤣🤣🤣
