Just to alert readers from outside Europe to this stunning performance from the annual Eurovision Song Contest.

Oh and I know it isn't really to do with whistles...

That may be the stupidest (is that a word?) thing I've ever seen! I couldn't even sit through it 'til the end... At least the singer looked good!

That was the convergence of influences that reached some sort of pinnacle of production.

Is this on the flip side of Rebecca Black's "Friday"?Image
click the picture to hear the song.

Did you notice how the "pipes" "bag" (well, how else am I supposed to write it?) is a Valentine's Day heart pillowy thingum, ruffles and all? I almost got a sugar buzz just looking at it. Cute idea though. I think someone should make heart-shaped bags for real. A simple red cover would do; you don't have to have the ruffles. Too stagey.

The commentator hit the nail on the head when he added "where else could Mandinga perform apart from at Eurovision?"
