Songs for Europe

Eurovision beckons once more, and the UK 's entry seems awfully familiar. And not just because Scooch were basically the Tesco Value Steps.
This is Scooch performing their Song of Europe winning Flying The Flag



And this is the opening credits to the sadly short-lived Scottish sitcom The High Life



The High Life was written by and starring Forbes Masson and Alan Cumming (before he buggered off to Hollywood and Broadway). Coincidentally, in one episode, the boys tried to become Scotland's Song For Europe entry with the fabulously-named Pif Paf Pof



And on a "comedy shows do Eurovision" theme, this is a pretty good excuse to revisit the unparalleled genius of Father Ted. Neil Hannon's finest hour, it's My Lovely Horse
