We’re up to Greece at number 10. Good start:
“first off, she’s a lady,
this is a lady’s world”
Which is, speaking as a Brunswick chick, exactly the sort of talk I like to hear from a good Greek boy. I like using the term ‘lady’. The Squeeze calls us (us being crink and I and D) ladies.
I think I’m voting for Greece!! I like all the freakin’ shimmies! I like the shitty syncho backing dancers! I like the song!
Georgia. Great. I like the dress. I like the dancing guys with swords. It’s an up-tempo disco song, so it’s go my vote. It’s a bit like Madonna, except with lyrics by someone whose first language isn’t English so they have that A-ha feel.
“This precious moment of my life,
holds me excited!”
Sweden.
I really have to go have a shower. I shaved The Squeeze’s head earlier and have prickles all over me.
I have to watch this entry – Sweden is the national home of lindy hop in the twenty first century. And Abba.
And this entry is worth embedding.
I’ts ok, I guess, but it’s too obvious choice for me.
