To show how seriously, the prize was presented by Victor Yuschenko, the
president of the Ukraine.

Followed by Albania. The results are on
http://www.ndrtv.de/grandprix/news/s...rd_f_2005.html, and probably
other sites as well. The numbers should keep ethnologists and political
scientists busy for a few weeks.

Anyway, these contests aren't really about winning, more about partying
and networking for the participants.

Interesting how in Wogan's world, Moldova voting for top-5 Latvia is a
dodgy neighbour vote, while Ireland giving loads of points to bottom-
of-the-table-with-zero-points UK is absolutely ok.

looked like this :

... Is that what they were? I was reminded of a song my mother used to
... sing: "Chase me Charlie, Chase me Charlie, Lost the leg of me
... drawers.."


Discutable lyrics, though.

You're my lover
Undercover
You're my secret passion and I have no other

You're delicious
So capricious
If I find out you don't want me, I'll be vicious

Say you love me
And you'll have me
In your arms forever and I won't forget it

Say you miss me
Come and kiss me
Take me up to heaven and you won't regret it

You are the one
You're my number one
The only treasure I'll ever have
You are the one
You're my number one
Anything for you 'cause you're the one I love

You're my lover
Undercover
You're my secret passion and I have no other

You're a fire
And desire
When I kiss your lips, you know, you take me higher

You're addiction
My conviction
You're my passion, my relief, my crucifixion

Never leave me
And believe me
You will be the sun into my raining season

Never leave me
And believe me
In my empty life you'll be the only reason

You are the one
You're my number one
The only treasure I'll ever have
You are the one
You're my number one
Anything for you 'cause you're the one I love

You're my lover
Undercover
You're my secret passion and I have no other

You are the one
You're my number one
The only treasure I'll ever have
You are the one
You're my number one
Anything for you 'cause you're the one I love

You're my lover
Undercover
You're my secret passion and I have no other
