Eurovision, Melodi Grand Prix | Noble boy who doesn’t want to take over the farm, Norwegian kulokk and politicians’ favorite song

1

No Rules! (No rules!)

It is Finland’s song of the year.

This is probably also Norwegian politicians’ favorite this year.

Rumor has it that the song plays on repeat in the parliamentary canteen while they trade shares and deliver plagiarized exam texts while the key to the commuter accommodation is hidden in the bag.

For the second time in three years, Norway is sending a wolf theme to Eurovision.

From “Give that wolf a banana” to “Wolfham”.

And that with the Center Party in government!

Next year, the Carnivore Board and the National Nature Conservancy will probably be responsible for selecting songs for the MGP.

At least this year, the band Gåte med kulokk compensates.

In that case, we hope German and French farmers have burned enough tyres, emptied enough dung, and are ready to vote Norway forward in the final.

Damn, it costs five kroner per vote.

– I’m leaving and I’ve sold my cow.

That’s the message from the artist with the resilient name “Baby Lasagna”.

The Odelsgutten says that he will miss both his parents and his cat.

Probably, like many farmers, he sees no future with livestock in the countryside.

This is actually one of the favorites to win this year, especially the audience votes. In a humorous and lively way, he puts his finger on a very alive problem in our part of the world.

More and more people do not see enough opportunities to stay in the countryside and move to the city, and in many countries in Eastern Europe people are moving out of the country.

Is it Baby Lasagna that will make the rural uprising global? Sponsored by Bunadsgerijaen? And isn’t such a complaint reserved for Facebook?

Estonia sets new records this year! For the longest title of all time in the context of Eurovision: (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) magida

It means something like this: “We (really) don’t know anything about (these) narcotics”

Something tells me that the inspiration must come from the security team at Bama when hundreds of kilos of cocaine were suddenly found in the banana crates.

– I don’t know about narcotic drugs, I know about soft drinks and sides. Hadn’t seen the difference between vitamins and speed, the Estonians sing.

“You can carry bananas, yes,” they probably said at the Bama warehouse as well.

You can call Simen Velle if you need advice.

Cyprus presents the song “Liar”.

It is possible that the text was written by the Farmers’ Revolt, and summarizes what they think about the measurement of farmers’ income.

– Should have known you were a liar. But I looked the other way. Should have known you were a troublemaker, the text says.

Clear speech, right? Good luck to Cyprus, let’s hope you don’t end up in the bottom 20 percent in the final.

Switzerland presents the song “The Code”. This song is as binary as the artist himself.

Nemo covers the genres of pop, rap and opera in less than three minutes.

In the music video, he also goes through several changes of clothes on a train ride that is more chaotic than the train ride from Makta with drunken politicians and journalists.

Let’s hope Nemo arrives in Malmö without a signal error. Good thing he doesn’t have to go via Norway.

Georgia sends Nutsa Buzaledze with the song “firefighter”, or fire constable in Norwegian.

You can swear that Nutsa will be there before the police when something happens.

Here, however, there is a great risk of fire damage.

The conservation officer shakes his head at that dress split.

Poland is represented by Luna with the song “Tower”, and will perhaps come with a hint in the autumn.

– I’m the one who built the tower

– I’m the one who holds the power

Donald Trump, is that you?

The first semi-final is Tuesday 7 May

Second semi-final is Thursday 9 May (Norway is participating here)

The final is Saturday 11 May. (Hopefully Norway will participate here)
