Contests 2012 The Russian grannies – as funny as anal warts

The Russian grannies – as funny as anal warts

Will someone please explain to me why this isn’t unmitigated awfulness?!  I’m watching this and thinking logically “Who on earth is going to vote for this crap?” – then I remember Scooch and all the other shit that has gone before.  I really really hope this falls flat on its arse.

There is nothing redeeming about six elderly women on stage singing the same riff for three minutes.  I know people will tell me it should do well, and people that ought to know better love this song….

And yet, I am seeing it as a pathetic, sad attempt to “be funny” – It’s as funny as anal warts.
