Lordy Lordy - It's Lordi!
You can always rely on the Eurovision Song Contest to raise a smile if nothing else, and this year the entry from Finland - Lordi - are sure to do just that.
The mysterious Lordi - a death metal band who refuse to remove their masks and give their identities, are surely going to be one of the highlights of the show, watched by some 200 million Europeans.
Usually the Finns enter a folk singer who comes second to last, but no doubt pissed off with this, 42% of them voted in Lordi to represent their country this time around.
The band, who have had a number one in the country with their hit "The Devil Is A Loser" cruised through yesterday's semi-final and will be in the show on Saturday night.
They hail from the home of Father Christmas, Lapland, and got a platinum album with their 2002 release "Get Heavy".
Their website (in English) is definitely worth a look here promising "strong monster and violent gore".
You can find details of their forthcoming "Bringing Back The Balls To Finland '06" tour.
Should be an interesting night.

See, this is what there should be more of on TV. Not endless Friends reruns. You been travelling back from Paris today, ER? Or should I not ask?
With hindsight I'm pleased I didnt watch that game in the rain in Paris! It was exhausting just to watch - let alone what it must have been like to play in. Late posting today as I have been earning a crust this morning. Unlike me, I know ;-)
Cant wait! Anyone remember the Greeks a few years ago with the classic 'HEY HEY WHATS THE PASSWORD'?
I love the confidence of the Lithuanian entry, "We Are The Winners"
but don't it make you proud to be english?
we must be the only nationality to watch it with our tongues firmly planted in our cheeks!
and yet we still watch it. i will be.
Earning a crust? Well done.
But isn't the UK entry terrible? He looks like some kind of paedo, and he's about a billion years old.
AND? at least he doesn't look like he is two decades out of date.
and fit/pretty ladies dressed in school uniforms, when has that ever been wrong?
