Lithuania 2019 - Banzzzai - I Don't Care


It's been quiet a quiet season so far for the more, how shall we say, esoteric entries. So it was with much delight that we spotted this little fancy from the second Lithuanian qualifier on Saturday. We'd been double screening with the French final - mainly due to the hours of jibber jabber between the songs in in each show. But while concentrating on the goings on in France our attentions were drawn to this beauty clophopping about in the corners of our collective eyes.

Yes, this is where Eurovision 2019 officially begins!

So what do we have here then? A giant silver-headed bear mincing about with a gruff voice over a backing track that borrows only ever-so-slightly from Pump Up The Jam. But then he gets to dance properly - and boy can he shift for a big lad! But that's not all. Not only are his backing dancers dressed like sexy terrorists - FOR NO APPARENT REASON - but there's a completely random moment with a glowing harp device that clearly means something locally (we hope), but is utterly bewildering to the rest of us.

It was brilliant, happy, honest fun, and exactly why we love this time of year! This, dear reader, is pure Apocalypse gold! Enjoy your meal!
