Classic Eurovision Quotes!

Hooray for Eurovision and its inevitable hilarity thanks to Europeans trying to speak English! Here are the ones we spotted.

Presenters:
  • Male Presenter: "...meny ged perfermences!" (he replaced every vowel with an "E")
  • Female Presenter: "Heleouw!" (her attempt at saying hello)
  • Vitaly Klitchko: "You are the great!" (two thumbs up)
  • Terry Wogan: "Wasn't that dreadful, everybody?" (after the appalling German entry)

Song lyrics:
  • "My persistance is outrageous, You'll be mine 'cause I'm contagious"
  • "Wolves die alone" (you get the feeling this is a metaphor, but we can't figure out what it means)
  • "Grandma hits the drum with a mallet in the big house"
  • "I disappear in the sky or on the ground somewhere"

Seen in text messages from viewers:
  • "She was wearing the most beautiful dress I've even seen!"
  • "Loads of great songs mwah!"
