Oh, Eurovision: DJ Bobo’s “Vampires Are Alive”

Eurovision is a yearly song contest, sort of a proto-American Idol, which has mutated into some strange generator of discordant, embarrassing pop gems. (See: Lordi.)

Switzerland’s entry for 2007 is this amazing travesty called “Vampires Are Alive,” at its lyrical crux completely missing that vampires, by defintion, are not alive, and then spinning out from there in a shower of blood and synchronized dance.

Sample lyric: “I am a vampire. I’m a slave./I sleep through the daylight, hence my grave.” These guys make Celine Dion look like Celine Dio. Don’t watch at work unless your co-workers irony shields are way, way up. You might never live it down.
