"Let's Twist Again" with Chubby Checker

I had to write something about the Danish Eurovision songs…
…and not my favorite ones through the years (which by the way are Tommy Seebach' "Disco Tango" (1979), Gry's "Kloden Drejer" (1983), Hot Eyes' (who dominated the 80's with three entries) "Det' Lige Det (1984), Birthe Kajær's (dansbandish and so corny you have to love it) "Vi Maler Byen Rød" (1989), and Aud Wilken's "Fra Mols til Skagen" (1995)) but something completely different:

When I was living in Gothenburg and shared a room at the office with E-man and D-man we discovered that every morning – and I’m really not kidding now…ten fingers up to God….ask the E and the D – at 8.45 AM the same radio station was playing the same song: The Danish Eurovision entry from last year; Jakob Sveistrup's "Talking to You". It is not that usual that radio stations play Eurovision songs…at least not Danish ones…and not one year after the contest. I guess it is not that usual that the Danish ESC songs are some sort of reggae, either. Very weird – but in the end it got kinda funny, E-man being a great Dane and all…

Well, this year the Danish returns. Not with a reggae – no, that’s soooo last year in Denmark. This time they return (directly in the final since Jakob succeeded last year) with – a TWIST! Yep, that’s right. Sidsel Ben Semmane will sing the ugly child between an Avril Lavigne song and Chubby Checker’s "Let's Twist Again"…and it is not completely impossible that "Twist of Love" will succeed (it might be the Olsen Brothers of 2006) – or at least be played every day at 8.45 AM next October in a room close to Lindholmspiren.

Now I'm flying (HELP!!) to London.
The blog will be on paper for some days and will return when I reach a computer.
Kisses.

Keep readin'.
Tomorrow’s a new day and a new song.
