Flo & Joan - Isolation Song Contest entry for Iceland

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

Rhyming “window ledge” with “Patricia Routledge” is still one of the greatest pieces of songwriting ever 😂😂😂

Lyrics: Sometimes life, it feels too good Like if woodsmen find some extra woods And when my heart can't swell any more Then I see your body at my door _Rúsínan í pylsuendanum_ When you walk into a room You make me put down my cake It quakes my heart baby, boom My teeth and earrings go shake You bring so much laughter, and it brightens up my day Every sneeze goes faster, all the spiders run away You make my best week better and my wet things wetter So not you forget-a You're a brain who found knowledge Like a bear who got his porridge I'm a bun, and you're the raisin at the end of my sausage Like a witch in a cookie cottage You're Dmitri Shostakovich I'm a bun, and you're the raisin at the end of my sausage You're the raisin at the end of my sausage (sausage sausage) And I'm a bun Who knew a sheep could grow an extra jumper? Make me dance b-bumper In the midnight sun So fill my feet with flowers You are meine lucky bow Like a hard spring shower Make my hair want to grow, grow, grow, grow, grow You make the piglets sing And the shepherd bell ring So I... ding ding You're a brain who found knowledge Like a bear who got his porridge I'm a bun, and you're the raisin at the end of my sausage Like a gherkin in my cold fridge You are Slobodan Milošević I'm a bun, and you're the raisin at the end of my sausage (sausage sausage) (_Rúsínan í pylsuendanum_) I'm a bun, I'm a bun, I'm a Bunton Before you came along, there was a grape at the top of my burger At the top of my burger was a grape (yes, no, please?) Burger: no, thank you Then 'step' went your shoes And my Iceland on news And the news it was time for me to put down my cake You're a brain who found knowledge Like a bear who got his porridge I'm a bun, and you're the raisin at the end of my sausage You're a plant on my window ledge Like a young Patricia Routledge I'm a bun, and you're the raisin at the end of my sausage (sausage sausage) (_Rúsínan í pylsuendanum_) (sausage sausage) You're the raisin at the end of my sausage

Thanks for this!

[@tigerstripes1001]

I think this gets better with each listen. Raisin at the end of my sausage . And why not?? !!

[@osiristherebirth]

With respect to Mel Giedroyc - this should have won. Being a public vote, her much higher profile (lots of TV) would have contributed bigtime. So well done, Mel - and well done all - but this should have won. Fabulous stunt-rhyming going on here. F&J never disappoint.

[@martinzed1971]

The song fermented my shark

[@miltonchavez1262]

I really enjoy these two very talented ladies and their sense of humor...well done!

[@Craig_1901]

I just love this song

[@herbackman5694]

I thought you two were "just" funny, but you are also genius! Thank you for the music!

[@nicholasm5465]

Ding Ding - cracks me up! Reminds me of 'And SING' in Safety Dance !

[@chadvanstone]

'You're a plant on my window ledge, like a young Patricia Routledge, I'm a bun and you're a raisin at the end of my Sausage..! Lyrical genius..!

[@mb.7105]

I mean this is a hit

[@TheReplenishingFlame]

Like Fever Ray & Björk meet...Aqua, with the odd giveaway Brit culture references: shouldn’t work, but this somehow does tickle the “raisin at the end of my sausage”! 🤣👍

[@timhill3104]

Absolutely brilliant

[@aproxymatt]

Such a bop

[@MrIcelander]

Yayh, represent from another country! That never happens!!

[@WiseFerret]

DING DING!

[@sassychicken]

I want to download/purchase this song!!!!

[@MeasMyself-u3r]

can I have the lyrics PLEASEEEE!?

[@MrIcelander]

I second that request, or at least subtitles - the music is mixed so badly I could hardly grasp a word of what they said :/

[@ohwell186]

[@MrIcelander]

@@ohwell186 Brilliant, thanks!

[@patrickh3385]

I'd love for these to represent us at real Eurovision with a self-deprecating song poking fun at the UK's lack of success after 1998 - it would do badly but at least provide the rest of Europe with a laugh...

[@MrIcelander]

Can someone please tell me how did this come about to begin with? I mean, why is a couple of english people doing a song on the behalf of Iceland (of all places) and not their own country?

[@patrickh3385]

This was a charity Eurovision parody which features (mostly) British comedians performing songs for other countries. The UK entry was performed by a Swedish musician.

[@MrIcelander]

@@patrickh3385 I see.. what a strange concept, I must say. But that just makes me admire even more their obvious research efforts that clearly went into their submission :)

[@michaelwilkinson3307]

Sounds like Erasure.

[@damianessing]

Hey, I'm from Germany, so I probably don't get most of the references or ... the whole sense of what they are singing about, to be honest. Sounds genius though, so I would really appreciate if someone could fill me in on the context?

[@crunchevo8974]

This really dampens my muffin

[@osiristherebirth]

This was a charity parody of Eurovision. Various (mainly British) comedians were given one week to write, perform and produce a song and video for a randomly selected country during lockdown.

[@samgamgee6508]

Eight people want a grapeburger.

[@crunchevo8974]

Weirdly enough... Not their first song about a sausage... Lmao

[@Mineminemine8]

Completely bizarre, yet compelling. Like Bjork.

[@startproductions4399]

Just pop Mr Bean in there and you got me pissing

[@MrIcelander]

Yeah, that was an eerie stroke of genius. I mean, I wonder who told them he's a dead ringer to our current president!
