• Story of ESC

[Måns]: Well, it's a multinational competition
With a collaborative mission
So much like the Olympics in a way
[Petra]: Sure, it's rather less athletic
[Måns]: Though just as energetic
[Petra]: More colorful, and what's the word?
[Måns (spoken)]: Theatrical?

[Petra]: We make music and friends with every nation
[Both]: And bankrupt the hosting TV station
[Måns]: To help to shore up a post-war Europe, in 1956, it all began
[Petra]: The set, I'm rather certain, was nothing but a curtain
There were only seven countries and one camera-man
[Måns]: But then it started growing now Australia's ours!
[Petra]: We're a big black hole sucking in all the stars!
[Both]: We'll take over the world and then conquer Mars!
That's Eurovision!

[Petra]: It's an annual celebration of our culture
It's the highlight of our year
[Måns]: And a victory can catapult you
Just look at my career!
[Petra]: Yes, so we see
You get to share the stage with me!
We're all excited, the fans united, from Reykjavík, Riga and Rome
[Måns]: At Eurovision, there's no division cause wherever you come from
Here is home!

[?]: For loving Eurovision, I get bullied at school
But when we come together, I don't feel a fool!
For one week a year, we're pretty cool!
That's Eurovision!

[Petra]: Getting votes from your neighbours is a sure way to get your song disgraced
[Måns]: But when Sweden gets 12 points from Norway, it's clearly just good taste
[Petra]: That gimmicky factor, the wacky, the weird
Céline [?], Conchita's beard
Pirates and penguins and puppets on strings
These are a few of my favourite things!

The singers come together like songbirds of a feather
For victory they hope and pray and beg
[Måns]: Wait there in the green room, but [?], wishing all of our competitors break a leg
[Petra]: The impact of the show I cannot overstate
[Måns]: No matter where you go, it's a source of debate
[All]: But it's something you either love or hate
That's Eurovision!

[Petra]: And the interval act is your one big chance
To fail to live up to Riverdance!

Where else can you hear [?] and Luxembourgish sung
We've had two songs with sign language and three in made-up tongue
And [?], Creole, Norwegian, Võro, Viennese
Neopolitan, Catalan, [?], Montenegrin and Maltese

[Måns]: [?], Albanian, Slovak-Ukrainian, Romani, Russian, Romanian
Crimean, Slovenian, Hebrew, Armenian, Arabic and Lithuanian
[Petra]: Portugeuse, Macedonian, [?], Estonian, [?], Croatian, Bulgarian, Georgian, Italian, Bosnian, Latvian, Corsican, Serbian, German, Hungarian
[Both]: Polish and English and Irish and Finnish and Swedish and Spanish and Dutch
[?] and Turkish and Danish and French
[Petra]: Tahitian though not very much
[Måns]: And though I don't know Czech, Swahili, Azeri or Greek
[All]: Music is a language that we all know how to speak

That's Eurovision!
It's your decision [?]
[Måns]: Douze points or zero, you'll be a hero of our time
[All]: And the Eurovision family, we do it with glitz and glamour-ly
There's rich and kitsch and ham-ily [?]
This is my-rovision and his-rovision and her-rovision and you-rovision!
[?] again
At the Eurovision Song Contest!
