Jarvis: "I've always wanted to write a Eurovision song"
- Artists:
- Jarvis Cocker »
Jarvis Cocker - you know him, but not personally, like a friend, or anything - has told Radio Five Live - you know it, 'cause it covers the football, even when it's on BBC 1, and then you watch it but with the radio commentary, 'cause that's better than Motty - that he quite fancies writing a song for the Eurovision Song Contest.
Morrissey - you know him, but not personally, like a friend, 'cause he once held flowers on the telly, and didn't smile much - has already said he'd fancy a crack at penning a tune for Britain at the annual televised rubbish-athon.
We reported that here.
Says Jarv: "The door is always open if they want to ask me. I've always wanted to write one for them. Maybe I'll do it next year."
We've written far too much here.

Dear Indie Pop Stars who are slightly past it but people still fete for no identifiable reason:
Please post below if you too are interested in writing a song comparable to Boom Bang-A-Bang.
Jarvis: I've always wanted to write a Eurovision song"
General Public: 'Piss off Grandad'
Leave Motty Alone
that is all.
TRUFACT:
I was asked to write lyrics for a Swedish artist's Eurovision entry last year
I wrote the lyrics
It didn't win
this
In Time Out like a month ago.
I say let him do it.
hopefully
damon albarn will come back with an interview saying
'yeah, i've already written a eurovision song, TAKE THAT JARVIS YOU COCK!'
Walk Like A Panther
would have been brilliant.
yeh
except it would be SHIT
Asian Dub Foundation
are the "international representatives of British music" due to all of the British Council work they do. And they're good. SO maybe they should do Eurovision?! (Free Saptal Ram across Europe, Yeah!)
he is just crap enough to do it too!
ah bless
didn't
Jarvis appeared on Stars in their Eyes didn't he? I can't remember who he was though. Harry Hill also appeared on Stars in their eyes as Morrissey it was brilliant! (not that I watch the programme or anything)
he was rolf harris
and he sang "two little boys"
is "piss off grandad"
the sequel to "grandma, we love you"?
Ahh, what?
So Jarvis is out of favour on this faddy shitboard now is he? What, because he isn't the shins or Grandad's-favourites-at-best Field Music? Pull your heads out of your arses and have the guts to admit that an artist is actually talented and DEMANDS respect (Jarvis of course), though the Dronwed In Sound "cool police" constantly dictate to you "What's hot and what is soooo not."
