The Bing Song
Verse
Binga banga bong bong,
Bonga banga bing,
Love in the universe,
Love on a string. Chorus
Bing, bing, bing bing bong
Do, do, the bing bing bong
Helena, Bolton UK
Sung to the tune of George Orwell's all time great: Beasts of England, Beasts of Ireland!
The Eurovision contest is pants,
The contestants are just like ants;
The UK might get null points,
But the Dutch smoke the joints;
The Irish may win,
But that's just another in the bin;
So I hope the BBC like my lyrics,
Because I don't have other limericks!
"Can you write a Eurovision winner?"
No, but I'd rather be a sinner!
So roll on Saturday 15 May,
Because that would certainly be the day!
Victor Konwea, London
Yes its that time of the year again, so be sure to chill the kegs and stock up on pretzels and saurkraut this Satuday

It is a perfect illustration of the disharmony and prejudice that exists throughout the European States. The voting is predictable and usually benefits the countries that no one has particularly strong feelings for. Why do you think Ireland have won so many times? Slovakia this year, anyone? It is outdated and has lost its true purpose. I don't know why anyone bothers. Thank goodness it is not on TV in Hong Kong...I hope.
