Oh god, Martin Vucic from 2005 was awful!!!!!!! Even thinking about his song gives me the shivers . . . . . . . . aaarghh, but the worst thing was, despite being a crap song, it was so catchy, so I can't get the awfulness of it out of my head!!!!!! ;)

It's hardly worst entry ever into to esc when you have the whole fyr macedonia back-catalogue to go through, starting with the awful entry they have this year.

eslena risteka was good though but the guy from the year before should been locked up for crimes against anything musical

@ most of you
This song has a better chance of any entry this year of becoming summer hit. It is funny, well choreographed and above all quite catchy too. I can't believe there is musical snobbery at Eurovision for flip sake - that is the biggest joke when reading some of these ridiculous comments.

Good luck Spain!

I see no other reason for a press conference than to apologize for sending this moronic excuse for a song to Eurovision.
