This week, I started compiling a simple list of random Eurovision songs I haven't played for a while but as the list grew it soon transpired that a theme was developing.
Although ESC has the important memes and tropes of genres of song, key changes, costume changes and oversized accessories - one important hook to any Eurovision song is an 'interesting' intro.
Although not leaders in this particular field, the songs on show today have something memorable and individual about their introduction, even if the introduction (sung or not sung) is only a few seconds long. Once you hear the opening few notes you know EXACTLY what song it is and also know of you need to turn the volume up... or down !
No podcast next week but in 2 weeks time the podcast will be looking forward to Eurovision 2014 with a round up of news and events going on in Eurovision world, as well as the occasional song.
