Young Turks

Remember when I told you about the chance that a turkey puppet would be representing Ireland in the 2008 Eurovision contest?

Done and done. Have you ever been prouder to be Irish, ye good t'ings?

In case you didn't catch them, here are the lyrics:

Oh I come from a nation
What knows how to write a song...
Oh Europe, where or where did it all go wrong....?

COME ON!!!!!!

Irelande douze points

Drag acts and bad acts and Terry Wogan's wig
Mad acts and sad acts, it was Johnny Logan's gig

Shake your feathers and pop your beak
Shake em to the west and to the east
Wave euro hands and euro feet
Wiggle to the edge of the turkey beat

Irelande douze points
Irelande douze points
Irelande douze points
Do the funky beat

D O E double B L E Yeah

Hello Abba, hello Bono, hello Helsinki
Ola Prague, hello sailor, se la vie
Alvida sein Mama Mia, and god save the Queen
Bon joir Serbia, good day Austria
You know what I mean?

Shake your feathers and pop your beak
Shake em to the west and to the east
Wave euro hands and euro feet
Wiggle to the edge of the turkey beat

Shake your feathers and pop your beak
Shake em to the west and to the east
Wave euro hands and euro feet
Wiggle to the edge of the turkey beat

(chorus)

Give us another chance, we're sorry for Riverdance
Sure Flately he's a Yank
And the Danube flows through France
Block voting, shock voting
Give your 12 today
You're all invited to Dublin Ireland
And we'll party the Shamrock way

(chorus)

Eastern Europe we love you
Do you like Irish stew?
Or goulash as it is to you?

Shake your feathers

Listen Bulgaria we love you
Belarus, Georgia, Montenegro,
Moldavia, Albania, Croatia,
Poland, Russia, Ukraine,
Macedonia, Love you Turkey
Hungary, Estonia, Slovakia,
Armenia, Bosnia Herzegovina
And don't forget the Swiss!

I'm speechless...

...and there's even another
ice storm going on here
in Arkansas.

Not really... but I'm still at a total loss for (printable) words.
