I heard a radio piece the other day that analyzed all the political nuances of the Eurovision song contest. Apparently who enters the contest and who wins bequeaths quite the political fallout. If you don’t know it’s a 53 year old american idol type contest in which european countries enter bands or individual artists to perform an original songs. The winning country also gets to join the EU! I remember 2006’s eurovision in particular because the ridiculous Lordi which scored a record 292 and gave Finland it’s first victory.

Gwar inspired costumes aside, Junior Senior is ridiculous in a completely different way. While the band broke up last september, Jeppe Laursen (aka senior) recently wrote Denmark’s entry into the 2009 eurovision song contest. Here are some of my favourites from Junior Senior’s second and final album Hey Hey My My Yo Yo (2007).
