Eurovision 2010 UK entry

[BrigitBigKnickers]

My ears are bleeding- I have just been foolish enough to view our entry for Eurovision on youtube.

Surely with the songwriting talent in this country we can come up with something better than this?

It's just cringeworthy.

Seems like I am not alone in my opinion

Ok just me and the bookmakers then...

I know - why won't someone do the honorable thing and write a decent song.

I do like it's hideously ironic name though

hee hee

arrggh. Rogue apostrophe. So sorry.

I think we should do a mumsnet entry for next year.

What a great idea! We certainly couldn't do any worse! I think my dog could write a better song.

Yes it could be an ode to fruitshoots or summat.

frootshoots and mooncups

Yes that even rhymes

i know

Yes, furit shoots and mooncups somehow incorprotated in to handbags and gladrags....

I think the tune is catchy, but I don't think the las who is singing it should have won the competition to choose the singer...there was a stronger contestant IMO.

OK, so that's a good title... let's run with it!

froot shoots and mooncups
handbags and gladrags

right that's the first 2 lines written
I want 10% when it's no. 1.

"The Mooncups and the fruitshoots that you had to sweat to buy you".

Does it work?

PMSL

Would Rod go for it though? And will anyone notice that we've ripped off his tune?

love it

Ever seen a Mumsnetter cross the road
Trying to make the other side?
Ever seen a young girl growing old
Trying to make herself a bride?

So what becomes of you my love
When they have finally stripped you of
The Mooncups and the Fruitshoots
That your poor old self had to sweat to buy you

Once I was a young woman
And all I thought I had to do was smile
Well you are still a young girl
And you've bought everything in style

So once you think you're in you're out
'Cause you don't mean a single thing without
The handbags and the Mooncups and the Fruitshoots
That your poor old self had to sweat to buy you

Sing a song of six-pence for your sake
And drink a bottle full of wine
Four and twenty blackbirds in a cake
And bake 'em all in a pie

They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The Mooncups and the Fruitshoots
That your poor old self had to sweat to buy

They told me you missed school today
So what I suggest you just throw them all away
The handbags and the Mooncupsand the Fruitshoots
That your poor old self had to sweat to buy you

It needs a bit of tweeking, but you get the idea.

I was thinking more .......all kinds of everything in a eurovision styleee

frootshoots and mooncups
babyslings and errrrrr....

frootshoots and mooncups
handbags and gladrags
do you think we're unreasonable?
we're a nest full of vipers
we're all damn fast typers
we wear birkenstocks when it's seasonable.

Good work Lynette, but I think we have to go for slightly less blatant plagiarism!
