Do the rules allow for a rickroll?
The song is too old and an international hit.
Shame.
I admit I'm a little disappointed we don't actually have to write and record songs.
Well if you are up for it next year...
Yes. 365 Days to write a song, yet I know I'm going to leave it to the last 2 hours.
That's what gives the right creative energy.
Bumping the pin up to local for the last push to the finish line.
not sure if this counts as an "international hit" since jessie ware is pretty popular already, but
this song is just eurovision ready in every way (actually a lot of the songs on her album would be good eurovision songs)
Given how Europe usually sees us during the holiday season, can I recommend...
I don't think it meets the eligibility criteria as it wasn't released in the last year.
The Northern Boys - "Sexy Train"
Another upbeat party anthem, the top comment even asks them to represent us on Eurovision, which they should. Until the cowardly committee deciding these things finally gets some nerve, this will have to do.
After careful review, this gets my vote
This has everything!
Including vomit.
Pete & Bas - "Top of the World"
Upbeat party tunes always does well and it has some of that European language in it and the video may have been filmed in Europe (or Brighton).
I suspect most of the country regards Brighton as effectively being in Europe
Thanks for sharing ! By the way, I don't know if Scottish, Northern Irish, and Welsh folks would like to participate on their own, but I can make room for that ! Up to you guys to decide together. Cheers ! 🍺
OK, I'm game.
The criteria:
Song submission
- Each Lemmy community is responsible for their own organization.
- Only one (1) song is to be sent to represent your country.
- Songs must be in (one of) the official language(s) of your country, or a regional language in your country.
- Songs must have been released within the last year (after January 1st, 2023).
- Songs must not be international hits (I'll update on how this is evaluated).
- Verification will probably require a link to the discussion thread created within your community, to ensure it's a community (not a single person's) decision.
So post a suggestion, if it has already been posted reply to that so we just have one top level reply for each song. If people like the suggestion upvote it, the highest number of upvotes gets submitted as long as it meets the cryptic criteria: "Songs must not be international hits".
How do you want us to vote for the winner?
Upvote the one you want to win.
edit: or suggest a different one.
Thanks for taking this on!
Thanks for posting it. 👍
When it comes to "international hits" I'll be pretty lenient, it's mostly because at some point during Eureddision, the german community submitted Deutschland from Rammstein which had millions of view on youtube, so of course it won, to the distate of other participants, I'd like to avoid this kind of controversies, so you can submit popular songs, just not too popular (not the latest hit from Ed Sheeran, or Adele, or whatever😛)
I think Germany gets a pass for nominating a song named Germany.
Thanks for clarifying.
not the latest hit from Ed Sheeran, or Adele, or whatever😛
Luckily, I'd never nominate them and I doubt the folks here would upvote them
Thanks for protecting everyone 🤭
Someone has to run interference.
This seems like some good fun. I'd like to propose Viscera - Carcinogenesis.
I feel this might be the Lordi option. Do they dress up?
Unfortunately no, but they really should.
