The worst pop song in the world?
I realize there are many contenders for that title, but this song has to be in the running. Every year Europe holds something called The Eurovision Song Contest which has been going on since 1956. Each country in the European Broadcast Union picks a song to represent them and the finalists all compete in a live competition watched between 100 and 600 million viewers. After watching this song--Flying the Flag (for you) by Scooch--I have only one question: Exactly how has Europe managed to convince us how tasteful and sophisticated they are for all these years?
I'm joshing our European friends, of course. Judging from this clip, the Eurovision competition looks like a campy hoot. I mean a song about flight attendants? And those outfits? And what's not to love about lines of dialogue like these suggestively delivered by one of the guys:
Some salted nuts, Sir?
or
Would you like something to suck on for landing, Sir?
I did a little research and Scooch was formed in 1999 as one of those made-to-order type bands put together by a promoter who holds auditions. I couldn't actually find confirmation the two lads--David and Russ--are gay, but they do live together, and let's just say their profiles read "gay". Whether they are or not, they certainly don't mind camping it up and having fun. Here's to their "triumph" at the Eurovision finals!
