The 2010-50 - No.31: I even painted my toe nails for you, I did it just the other day
Posted by ai at 8:42 AM
"Satellite" - Lena Meyer-Landrut.
I did drop a hint to faithful travelling companion last night that this would be making an appearance in the chart very soon....so here it is.
Even before its victory in a certain song contest this year, this one had become our 'holiday song' in Bratislava - that's what non-stop exposure to MTV Germany does!
A song written by an American and a Dane, sung in English by a German who sounds as if she learned her English from Kate Nash records. A truly international hit (although it only got to no.30 in the UK chart).
Contemporary isn't usually a word used to describe the Eurovision Song Contest, so it was a pleasant surprise that this song went on to win. Even if her voice quickly grates on you and the novelty wears off quickly - I really think the idea of her defending her title next year is a no-no - everything about this just seemed to fall into place. Even now, it's still a catchy and fun song.
