Episode 40: Eurovision 1989 Recap

It's time for a trip back to Lausanne, Switzerland, when Eurovision boasted an extremely 80s vibe both visually and aurally. There's lots of good songs from this year, despite a preponderance of bald men with long ponytails. Jeremy's penning his own John Hughes screenplay, Dimitry thinks it's a shame about Ray, and Oscar's found the official Mom Song of 1989.Watch the entirety of ESC 1989 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AUdzU3Awys4Pan's "Bana Bana" can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NblD5bDryNkThis week's companion playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7vU6oi6fY815bLzVMUB7HZ?si=Nd1Zsk3UQpWEcNROADpMlg Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
