Which Country Told Ireland To Change It’s Eurovision Song’s Lyrics?
The “problematic” verse (where Macedonia is mentioned), that the EU Radio Commision thinks must be changed, below:
“Eastern Europe we love you
Do you like Irish stew?
Or goulash as it is to you?
Shake your feathers
Listen Bulgaria we love you
Belarus, Georgia, Montenegro,
Moldavia, Albania, Croatia,
Poland, Russia, Ukraine,
Macedonia, Love you Turkey
Hungary, Estonia, Slovakia,
Armenia, Bosnia Herzegovina
And don’t forget the Swiss!”
French MP has said he is outraged that the song chosen to represent the nation in the Eurovision song contest has English lyrics.
Jacques Myard, of the UMP party, has urged the company that runs most of France’s TV networks to reconsider.
Sebastien Tellier’s entry, entitled Divine, combines both English and French lyrics with electro music.
France’s culture minister has defended the song, saying the country should fully support his bid for victory.
I’m sorry I know Greece and what is to be called FYROM have an issue with the term Macedonia.
But there is a little thing called freedom of speech and artistic license. Let it lie, and it would be interesting to see if some twisted old ludraman in Greece makes an issue out of one word in a song.
Anyways, I don’t think FYROM can fit into the song there.
Greece, only because the name of their neighbor country – Macedonia is mentioned!
God made mistake with two things: He created the Greeks and Hitler? You chose what is worse?
I will go with the first one:)
I don’t see any problem with it, Why are they asking them to change the lyrics?.
please,do you remember whith what name have you entered the eurovision constest………
hm lets see…isnt fyrom or what????
so why you opose???
also ,already almost none of these countries have recognised you as the name you stole !
