Eurovision...

Apparently we might have an extremely unlikely entry into this year's Eurovision - Stephen Patrick Morrissey.

So the former lead singer of the Smiths, the man who wrote such sing-a-long greats as "Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me", "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet Baby", "We Hate It When Our Friends Become Successful" and "You Have Killed Me" will be representing is at the cheese fest that brought us "Waterloo" by Abba, "Congratulations" by Cliff Richard and "Making Your Mind Up" by Bucks Fizz. Riiiigggghhhhtt, that sounds like a well thought through plan. Perhaps I'm wrong but I can't help but feel those who watch Eurovision perhaps will not appreciate songs such as "I Have Forgiven Jesus", "Life Is A Pigsty" and "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side".

Still, perhaps it makes sense to have a quirky, off beat entry this year - after all, Lordi were hardly a conventional choice last year. And even Morrissey at his most depressing and morbid is bound to be better than Daz pissing Sampson...

I once heard Morrissey described as the only man writing lyrics as though English was his first language.

So no chance in Eurovision then.
