bird's eye view of my ukelele
Well-known member
ooops, first time I typed that, it said a snog for europe! 
your mission this week, should you choose to accept it, is to bring me songs from the amazing muscial phenomenon that is the eurovision song contest. the contest has run every year since 1956, originally just with countries from western europe, but now with countries from all across the continent, and this year, thrillingly, australia will be taking part!
in the next post i will post links to roughly a gazillion eurovision performances, of songs that are personal favourites, songs that i think are significant in the history of the contest, songs that had mainstream success after the contest and should be especially easy to find chord sheets for online, and songs that i or other sesasonistas have already brought to the seasons (it is do-able - quite a few of us did "love shine a light" for bigdaddyuker's 5 hour energy plink season, weegingayin brought a wonderful "puppet on a string" too, to my late 1960's uke party season, and i've lost count of how many eurovision songs i've done on uke!). these links are just something to get you started, and something to help people who may not be familiar at all with eurovision. there are many more songs out there - if you know the contest and want to add a link to a great eurovision performance that you think should be here, please bring it, and if you're new to eurovision and find gems in your own research, please do post them if you'd like to share them.
MAIN THEME - eurovision songs - any song that has taken part in, or will take part in, the contest, from the very beginning in 1956, up to and including this year's contest
CLARIFICATION - by eurovision songs I mean songs that have competed in the contest, or are going to compete this year, NOT songs that get performed in the interval. a song has to have had a chance............... however slim............ of winning
INSTRUMENTAL - if you'd prefer to bring an instrumental version of a song, that's fine
BONUS THEME - write your own eurovision song
if you would like to write your own eurovision-style song, plase bring me
a. a love song
or b. a song about world peace
there is no limit on how many songs you can do
normal seasons rules apply... there are some guidelines in the opening post of this thread http://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?82618-Sign-up-for-future-Seasons-II
