RTÉ’s turkey’s tune revealed
Via Conor Pope at PriceWatch, who laments the absence of a video. I’d be lamenting the absence of a tune.. ANYhoo.. It’s not my licence fee money.. but it’s worse than I thought.. and it will probably be RTÉ’s Eurovision entry.. Generally demented? If only.. Adds Keith has heard all six of RTÉ’s options. Update The public have spoken.. the RTÉ turkey it is.. [added link]

Pete. Pete. Pete. He’s a turkey vulture. And this version is on YouTube claiming to be the official version, with something like 43,000 hits—

(I couldn’t tell you for sure. Too busy arguing other Slugger threads out with the voices in my head.)

In any case, I’m reliably informed your version is the official version. It’s probably better for the economy.

That’s the Welsh entry!

I’m going to decommission the computer now before I upload something we’ll all regret.

That’s vastly superior to ‘Here’s to you Ronnie Drew’ anyway.
Posted by on Feb 22, 2008 @ 11:10 PMQuite honestly Dustin could win by virtue of uniquness and sure Ireland win it all the time anyway. But no matter what no entry will ever rival the pure win factor that was Lordi’s Hard Rock Hallelujah.

Posted by on Feb 23, 2008 @ 03:08 AMGO for it and go right over the top on presentation, this is what Eurovision is all about and that tune is power for the course.The real entertainment in Eurovision is watching how the Balkan and Baltic countries vote.
Just can’t get that melody out of my head.

Now that is what I call poetry!
Posted by on Feb 23, 2008 @ 09:20 AMNo, Devi! “BELFAST’s BUSTIN’ FOR DUSTIN! That’s Poetry! Should be on a T-Shirt, I say…
Posted by on Feb 24, 2008 @ 12:27 PMWill Turkey send an Ireland as their entry?

Priceless -LOL- LMAO
Lets hope the Serbs have a sense of humour or if not that Dustin is supplied with an asbestos suit or else our bird in Belgrade could be in for a roasting :)

GF, if the Serbs don’t like the Turkey, at worst they will tell him to get stuffed. Vive le Dustin, Vive l’Irlande!
