Molvania's Eurovision entry, for those who were wondering but too lazy to edit a URL. Molvania is a delightful country, well represented by the book from Jetlag Travel. (I like how their map, which is missing the Mediterranean, happily substitutes the Baltic Sea as the location for their Mediterranean guide.) Their upcoming titles seem to be trying too hard, though.

If this is some kind of scam to sell me blue jeans, I'm gonna be upset.

Fly away my space rocket You no need put money in my pocket The door is closed, I just lock it I put my car plug in your socket The sun in sky is bright like fire You and me gets higher and higher ??? communication wire Only thing can stop us is flat tire Hey love crusader, I want to be your space invader For you I will descend the deepest moon crater I is more stronger than Darth Vapor Obey me I is your new dictator For you is Venus, I am Mars With you I is more richer than all the Czars Make a wishes on a shooting stars Then for you I will play on my cosmic guitars! Ladies and gentlement, fasten your belt-seats, we has commenced our descent I trust you enjoyed this flight, as much as you enjoy this accent. Now back on Earth, is time for down splash into sea of eternal glory, my spaceship crash People have arrived for to cheer me from near and far And as I brought I open door and shout "I am world's biggest washed-up superstar!" As for sure as the sun rises in the west Of all the seas and poets on Earth, I am the bestest Come let me put ring of Jupiter on your finger And like a smell around you, I will forever linger. OK, is time for end, no more will I sang, Let me take you back in time, I want for you to experience big bang... Long live space race... long live Molvania!

First thing I thought of when I saw this was ILL Mitch. The similarities are uncanny.

The guy on the left is Santo Cilauro, whose grandfather is the gentleman on the cover of the Molvania ("a land untouched my modern dentistry") guide book. If you ever get a chance to see a couple of films called "The Castle" or "The Dish", do so -- they were written and directed by the Working Dog team. Also, "Frontline" needs to be released on DVD post haste. "Champagne quality comedy!"

Dad? No, really, that guy looks a lot like my dad...if my dad had 70's David Bowie hair.

Also, "Frontline" needs to be released on DVD post haste. You're not wrong, John. C'mon, ABC, what's stopping you? Where's the 3-DVD set with every episode, like the BBC are doing with their back-catalogue? Think of the mail-orders from homesick expats! The Molvania book is great. Coming out in the US later this year, apparently.

...if my dad had 70's David Bowie hair. Tungsten, that hair sure looks like you could buy it someplace. I am never playing another note of music. This song is the apotheosis of all that is sonic greatness. I lay myself prostrate at the foot of their jeans-rocket, in reverent awe of their fuel tank full of not-fuel-but-love.
