Here's how Eurovision works:

Every country in Europe got together one day and said let's hold a music contest where none of us are taking it seriously and it's all for a laugh.... but we don't tell England that, so they take it serious as poo poo but we NEVER vote for them. Ever. Because that would be hilarious.

Now you know how Eurovision works.

Hey now, don't forget the most important aspect:

No matter what song you think was the best, you ALWAYS have to give the highest points to your neighbors and important trade partners, hence why the Balkan or Scandinavian countries tend to give their points to other Balkan or Scandinavian countries.

Oh, and of course the whole think is financed by mandatory fees for public radio&TV that all people have to pay, whether they have a need for it or not (at least in Germany).

It's a highly political irony based musical competition where some nations try and make good pop songs, but most say gently caress it and throw out the most weird bad person they can find and you watch it with friends and have a great time. Entries can be boiled down to:

Tits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8J3GAg5zaI

Slightly odd pop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaolVEJEjV4

Slightly weird things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-VMHOlCyW8 (otherwise known as epic sax guy video)

And horrifying failures of varying types. But seriously, a eurovision watching night with friends is a great time.

I wonder which act we'll choose to embarrass ourselves to Europe with? It literally can't be worse than our terrible performance last year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUsJi8nKsj0

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

A fun thing about Lordi in Eurovision is that a magazine printed photos of the band without their makeup and masks, and they'd become such huge national heroes for winning Eurovision that the magazine lost about 80% of its subscribers as a result.

Eurovision is pretty much a tournament where random acts from European countries and non European countries sing mostly terrible songs. The quality of which is made irrelevant because all the neighbouring countries vote for each other. It's fun to watch people get so wrapped up in it though. It's also fun to play "Guess which very attractive lady singer is actually a man".

In short, watch the Father Ted episode "A Song For Europe". It's funnier and will probably explain far less that you'd think, but it's Father Ted, so watch it anyway.

Now can we get back to talking about Okada and Gedo playing Pop-up Pirate?
