MONSTERS ROCK EUROPE
Lordi - undoubtedly the scariest band since Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - pissed all over the Eurovision Song Contest and trotted home with the trophy.
Their song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" romped home to victory as European countries decided shit, ironic, over-the-top-rock from Finland (think The Darkness meets the Orcs from Lord of the Rings) was better than a bunch of Shakira-a-likes or multi-cultural bands with all the integrity of a Coke advert.
To see a clip of Lordi, and believe me, it's almost worth it, click the title of this post and check out the link top right of the bbc page called "See Finland's Masked Metal Band Lordi Performing", recorded before the band made the final.
There were calls from European politicians for the band to be removed from the contest because they worshipped Satan. This, despite their number one Finnish hit "The Devil Is A Loser".
Not tonight, obviously.

I VOTED FOR THEM!!! absolutely loved it, but then like i have confessed, me and wifey watch it every year, if only to make us feel better about ourselves. who needs a shrink when you have the eurovision. and i must add that although last night was the first time i had heard it, don't think our song was too bad for a change!
worst part of it all? toss up between the presenters or the lithuanian entry. "we are the winners of eurovision"? doomed from the start.
WE LOVE LORDI!
Lordi ROOOOOOL, man. They brought the Arockalypse to Eurovision, and how!
OMG that is the best thing ever!!!
Terry wogan was good again. The other countries dont like him thanks to his keen observations.
I thought the 'we are the winners of eurovision 2006' was the funniest entry. I was a bit bored by Lori. I thought they were a death metal band. But good luck to them.
Not exactly Bucks Fizz is it? Much more of this n I might start watchin it again.
