Georgia GEORGIA 2022 - Circus Mircus - Lock Me In

[escYOUnited]

Show me what you got
On the counter
From the ground up now
Here we come and we all know
Mama said not to show what you are
Step it up now
Get it done now

I hate what you got
Shoot it to the stars
To the top now
Across the moon and down
We are here 'til we blow up
Tryin' hard will not get you really far
Mix it up now
It's alright, pal (Circus Mircus)

Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, takе me to dance club
Take mе to the space craft, take me to dance club
Now, right now, right now, right now

Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club
Now, right now, right now, right now

Take me to the space craft, take me to dance club

Lock me up, lock me down
Lock me in, lock me out
Lock me sideways
Lock me up, lock me down
Lock me in, lock me out
Lock me sideways
(Circus Mircus)

Make it 'til they break it, never could take it
Make it 'til they break it, never could take it
Make it 'til they break it, never could take it
Make it 'til they break it, never could take it
Now, right now, right now, right now
Make it 'til they break it, never could take it

Lock me up, lock me down
Lock me in, lock me out
Lock me sideways
Lock me up, lock me down
Lock me in, lock me out
Lock me sideways

Lock me up (Up), lock me down (Down)
Lock me in (In), lock me out (Out)
Lock me sideways
Lock me up (Up), lock me down (Down)
Lock me in (In), lock me out (Out)
Lock me sideways
(Circus Mircus)

Well LOCK ME SIDEWAYS... this is a mess

Sure they'll provide a moment in the semis at least - more space imagery to accompany UK...

This is an ABSOLUTE J A M.

Three Two and a half minutes of absolute joy. I'll tell you something my dears, that outrageously long pre-chorus is the work of Lord Satan himself. I have never heard something so outrageously catchy. Then the psychedelic chorus that follows. Oh my. Georgia, adopt me. Lock Me In is stupidly moreish. Listening to it once is just not possible. It didn't hit me until now but the entry gives off pretty massive Todd Rundgren vibes. Gold star and my eternal loving adoration to any of you that know who he is. The 70s psych rock vibes be strong and delicious here, yum (and of course 90s brit pop too).

I'm positively shocked by the fan reaction as well. I honestly thought this was going to be just me, EscGeek, Mauve and Sean, plus a couple others here by accident grooving our little tushes like there's no tomorrow whilst everyone else looked on in disdain, but eighteen 12s at this moment! Over 50% of the votes so far being 7+ points? Yaaaaaay! I'm getting warm fuzzy feelings similar to when the fandom celebrated Serhat's iconic Say Na Na Na moment.

trippy points! I'm absolutely obsessed. You've done it again Young Georgian Lolitaz Circus Mircus. All hail our favourite circus college dropouts I love this country too much.

Me when listening to this:

 

[Sabrewulf238]

I really like this song, I'm not entirely sure why....I just do. I gave it points.

I'm fully prepared to see it flop in the semi though.

I love your first sentence. Not your second though.

 

[Hamsterwheel]

I wish they had used the full 3 minutes, an extra chorus or some extra "circus mircus" phrases would have been the cherry on the cake.

 

[Chorizo]

A rather short 80s retro song. Is the 2:35 version the full song? I like the video with the statement "Due to the war in Ukraine, we feel that it is not the right time to release our happy and colorful music video." and the support they voice for Ukraine.
I do like 80s music and I think this is an enjoyable song. 8 points.

Edit: Or is it the late 70s instead of the early 80s?

 

[SarahM]

Love this!.. so trippy! The song is very short though so I gave it a 10 instead of a 12. I can imagine myself at a Eurovision party voting for this after a few G&Ts

 

[BorisBubbles]

Yeah I love this. Nika doesn't disappoint.

It's a from me.

 

[Chiarina]

Georgia is bonkers this year and I'm here for it! This gets a from me and a spot in my top 10

 

[Maia]

There's something so infectious about this. Love Georgia for never being afraid to send unique musical styles.

 

[Betwixt Tales]

I looove what Georgia is sending this year. Thank you!
It reminds me of Nika Kocharov and Young Georgian Lolitaz they sent back in '16, which was my favorite that year.

 

[Iker]

It saddens to me to see it being ranked last or close to it by almost every youtuber.

Being ranked? Everyone is ranking the songs...?

 

[Iker]

Being ranked? Everyone is ranking the songs...?

I mean personal rankings done by youtubers.

 

[simori95]

I mean personal rankings done by youtubers.

Yeah I guess you mean ranked at the bottom and you forgot the „at the bottom“ part?

 

[Iker]

Yeah I guess you mean ranked at the bottom and you forgot the „at the bottom“ part?

Yeah. I only noticed now that I somehow skipped typing 'last' in one of my previous replies in this thread!

 

[Franzilein]

This is strangely endearing, I am so curious how they will perform this on stage lol. Take me to the space craft already, I gladly board this

How is not having a video helping the ukrainian people? I mean, for the sake of keeping the actual members of Circus Mircus anonymous (something the band cautiously did from the beginning on) it makes sense, but otherwise…

Maybe they had scenes in the video that would remind people of war or other atrocities? That was the only explanation I came up with.
