Had an okay melody but the lyrics are a total joke. An intelligent 10 year old could write a better song than this: “I went everywhere for you I even did my hair for you I bought new underwear, they're blue And I wore 'em just the other day I even painted my toenails for you I did it just the other day“ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's silly, it's playful, it bops and was catchy. Add in the fairly awful mockney accent and I have a real soft spot for Lena. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martin Lee is a DDP pick. Additionally, as if anyone needed reminding, first to perform and winning the competition is some achievement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheKeysOfMarinus 385 Posted Tuesday at 12:42 Sad news. I’m surprised it was him first, to be frank. When BOM retired a few years ago, I assumed it was down to Lee Sheriden as he seemed frail. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
