Get a bloody move on

I feel like the OG Norton hasn't been fully caffeinated tonight. Quite sedate

Youshouldbestrongerthanme · 16/05/2026 23:05

@DeftWasp Do you genuinely think songs inciting violence towards women are OK?

RobynRB · 16/05/2026 23:05

Thiswasanescapeplan · 16/05/2026 23:01

If you are desensitized to femicide you need to look at your life and question your choices.

It's not that specific. It doesn't shock me because I've listened to a lot of 'underground' music often with dodgy lyrics for a very long time so it just doesn't shock me like someone who listens to Pop music. Same as if someone watches a lot of horror films they get desensitized to gore and violence....

Oh thank goodness Michael and Victoria have changed their outfits again.

Songs are written about dark subject matter, what do you think of "Ode to Billie Joe" (suicide) or American Pie (amongst other things murder and nuclear apocalypse) - good songs though....

Big difference between eg Ode to Billie Joe and a song called Throw me off a bridge

Feeding into make violence against women should be completely unacceptable.

I don't know if anyone has looked it up but the meaning of the Croatian song was women protecting their young girls against being stolen as slaves during ottoman rule. It is interesting so many on the thread have enjoyed it.

A previous poster compared Victoria to Katherine Ryan and now I can’t unsee it!

Well we know UK won’t win

Anne Marie David 1973 is my favourite Eurovision winner ever. I loved that song as a girl. It was in French but an English translation made the charts “ you and I”

I listen to a lot of music with questionable lyrics. I would be horrified if some of it was on Eurovision. I'm old enough to see the hidden meaning etc but a lot of people who watch this, often not in their native language, have not had that experience.
