The Pop Apocalypse: Ragnarok-n-Roll!

Manolo says, ayyyyyyyy! The end times, the final battle of the gods, Ragnarok, they are upon us!

Skol has at the last caught and eaten the sun, and Jörmungandr, the Midgard serpent, has awakened from her slumber to lay waste the land and sea. Soon, Surtr and the fire giants of Muspelheim, will cross the rainbow bridge from the south to rend the very sky itself!

Well, it is either that, or the GWAR knock-off band it has won the Eurovision.

Meanwhile, the crowd has left but these two they are still going at it.

Eurovision is enjoyable in its unpredictability. I’m always surprised by the performers, their outfits and their songs. The dancers and staging :o. The mind boggles but in a numbingly pleasant way – as in “did I really see that!”

AY….
You can see better talent and better singing on

Britney’s gonna be PO’d when she finds out what K-Fed’s been doing while she’s gestating.

YES! I totally picked Lordi to win! Go Finland!
I just wish I could have actually watched the show.

Yay! The monsters from above the Arctic Circle beat Daisy Duke!

So cute! I like Mr. Lordi’s Lapland hat!!!

BTW, the one on upper right is a girl! (or, at least on the video at YouTube, playing the keyboards she moves like a girl) So cute to see the girlie way she’s pushing her “hair” out of her face and holding her bouquet!

Warning: If you watch the video you may actually get the darn tune stuck in your head!

The Manolo he is ashamed to admit that the Desertwind is exactly correct: the tune of the Lordi, the Hard Rock Hallelujah, it is quite catchy. Indeed, it is now stuck in the head of the Manolo.

I love the Fug girls’ description of the winners, especially the girl monster with her bouquet of flowers. You must go see the performance at YouTube, as well.

We must have the Eurovision Song Contest on American TV next year! To which congressman do we have to write?

Oh! Fug is right! That IS a Bride from the Crypt costume!

As always Eurovision is pure entertainment with the occassional combination of costumes, choreagraphy and composition that works. Lordi Hallelujah!!! Never before have so many monsters won such a distinction.

I’m still laughing at the coverage of the Eurovision on this blog. Heheh. Thanks, Manolo, you have given me a welcome break.

And to whoever put on that link to Eat Bulaga: My friend, I grew up watching Eat Bulaga all the way through the ’80s, and if you thought that show had cheesy production numbers… well, apparently you have not watched enough television from the Philippines. The Pinoy channels that we do get here in the States do not even cover half of it, IMO, and together they already make Telemundo look like C-SPAN. Seriously.
