Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Not sure I told you, but I really like your teeth
That hairy coat of yours with nothing underneath
Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
See where you're going, but I don’t know where you've been
Is that saliva or blood drippin' off your chin?
If you don’t like the name Keith I'ma call you Jim
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wolf (Banana)

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Banana

I like the scent of every meal on your breath
That hunger in you, I'm in danger now, I guess
Let's go to grandma's, you say grandma tastes the best
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
(I want your grandma, yum, yum)
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wolf
Someone give that wolf a banana

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Someone give that wolf a banana
Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Someone give that wolf a banana

Ba-na-na
Ba-na-na-na-na
Ba-na-na
Ba-na-na-na-na

And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
(I want your grandma, yum, yum)
Someone give that wolf a banana
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wo-o-olf

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Someone give that wolf a banana
Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

They do it by using experts and getting as close to the future result as possible.
They do it partly by using experts, who mostly adjust for available information about the market, which concentrates in "what people bet on" anyway.
Thinking there's "an unbiased expert sitting somewhere being right 95% of the time and that's how betting companies earn their money" is to some small extent right, but having information about what people bet on makes for a big part of his "expertise".
Sure, there are some initial odds based on long term average success of each country, but later on in the season, we're basically speaking supply and demand for each odd for / against each country (of course, always done in a ratio that offers the betting house some margin in the long term given bets that had already been received - that is how their money is earned).

All this to say - Boris is mostly right here, odds get determined by people betting on things (people both well informed and utterly clueless). At this point in the season, they are a fun thing to get excited about, not completely without significance, but also nothing to take as gospel - the market just doesn't have enough information yet.

Subwoolfer is my favorite in this NF, but I'm slightly worried about their chances considering Latvia might send 'Eat Your Salad', and I know Moldova is not a joke act but they will most likely bring a quirky gimmick to their staging. And then there's Circus Mircus who often make use of ironic, humorous lyrics in their songs. It will be a very fun year for sure.

In any case, Subwoolfer is very catchy and stands out from the rest. The song has an instant appeal. I just hoped for a bit more from the staging, the text on screen was too big and distracting.

The difference between me and a bookmaker is that the bookmaker does research. For instance he tries to find out what songs we'll get to listen to in the NF's. Me, I just wait until they are released.

For the same reason, the various Eurovision YouTubers are normally pretty useless when it comes to predicting the results. It's much more effective to check out what the bookmakers are predicting. Take the ESC United own team for example. They are usually way off target. Which is sort of okay as it's mainly their own opinion they are expressing. But as a guide to what the average Eurovision fan will find interesting, it's not much worth.

My third favourite entry from MGP. Usually not a fan of operatic pop, but I am fan of this song. Such great vocalist. Wish the chorus could have been better written instead of just "la"s all the way.

B-A-N-A-S needs to be avenged! Go Subwoolfer! xyaaay
I'd be satisfied with Elsie Bay too. In that case i predict to rank :no: in their usual 11th-20th place.

Quite weak final in terms of quanity though.. i think we agree on that too

Are we sure Subwoolfer aren't just Ylvis in disguise? Fun and catchy song.

EDIT: Okay, just scrolled through the comments, glad I am not the only one with that association :lol:
