IRELAND – Laika Party – Emmy
It’s a song, yeah, about a dog that’s very definitely dead and been in space, having a party (Somehow!).
Bearing in mind what Ireland sent last year, this is a complete juxtapose because whereas Bambi Thug was groundbreaking, this is just trite rubbish. Let’s start with what passes for lyrics, the first verse says that she hopes that this dead dog never died and has a party in the air and always will… yes, that’s right, biology has clearly not been taught in Norwegian schools. In the second verse Lanka is apparently howling for bones…. I mean Jesus Christ talk about trite.
I hate this song, if once can call it that, with every fibre of my being. It is just complete nonsense and, therefore, should qualify with ease because Televoters are fucking thick and go for the lowest denominator and believe you me, this is a definite low light in the contest. Marty Wheelan needs to get the Jamieson out because he’s gonna need it, but not for the reasons he thinks.
Phil’s score: 0 – I’d love to give it minus points but that’s not allowed – seemingly.
Friend of this parish, Roy D Hacksaw, published a piece about this song right after it was selected, and I think I detected contempt for this song and its subject matter.

It sounds like a track for JESC but that’s the best thing you can say about this song. This song doesn’t sound Irish and could represents any land out there. It sounds like a piece of Scandy-pop but that shouldn’t surprise anyone when you see the name of writers and composers.
This is a failure from start to end. From those who wrote this “song” and thought this is a good idea. The Irish selecting committee, who seemed to forgot listening to the text and let it goes to the national final. And last but not least, the Irish public who voted for this one.
It seems that both the selecting committee and the Irish public don’t really know what they were choosing, because if they did, it suggests that they have no clue about what they are talking about. And that wouldn’t be the first or last time they do that.
My points: 0 points
