Eurovision 2025 campaigning
I am not a big Eurovision fan, but for once I'm reccing a song. More specifically, I mean a silly comic song with a catchy tune despite being in a Finnish-Swedish dialect, very cleverly done, and generally I think that this year's Eurovision Song Contest should be won by KAJ: three Finns competing for Sweden with a song in praise of saunas. I know this because antisoppist and I watched the final of Sweden's Melodifesten competition on Saturday. 12 songs, whittled down from 30 in the semi-finals, from 2000 entries. This was the sole one in Swedish, and apparently Sweden's first non-English entry since 1998. Apparently certain stalwarts of the Swedish Eurovision circuit are very unhappy. Diddums. This is an excellent, bonkers song that's actually memorable, and Måns' entry was very professional, very dull, and didn't deserve to win.
Anyway, you should vote for Bara bada bastu:
With English subtitles.
I am also delighted by their
Version 1, on the consequences of driving without winter tyres
Version 2, on taking the ferry to buy cheap alcohol in Estonia.
