There are some countries that you'd fancy going to visit on the basis of their failed Eurovision contenders alone, and for me Lithuania has always been one of them.
Take this slightly bonkers piece of Baltic electropop. It lilts along insistently in a nicely 90s kind of way, with a gently unhinged lyric and a moderately not-quite doolally dance routine and it makes you smile, quite calmly and happily.
It's nothing to get your gran excited, but it's got enough interesting little difference nodules to make you want to hear it again.

This isn't technically a failed Eurovision entry yet - the jury vote isn't in, but this got 8 points from the audience and, given the jury's previous track record of hating the audience's top pick, I'd say this has a good chance of going on to the Lithuanian semi-finals.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, Asher. Have a look around the rest of the site, though, and you'll get more of a gist of what I was talking about…
ReplyDeleteI actually love it!!! I think it's quirkiness that could work. It needs work, but I think it has great potential!
