MP3: Jeppe – Big Boy (Ssion Mix)

The Independent reports: *It appears Jarvis Cocker will not be the man after all to save Britain from its annual humiliation at the Eurovision Song Contest. Earlier this year, the gangly popstar made a bizarre bid to pen the UK’s entry in 2008. “The door is always open if they want to ask me,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to do one.” Sadly, his interest appears to have waned. When Pandora recently tried to get Cocker to commit to his pledge, I was practically laughed off the telephone line. Chortled a spokesman: “Sorry, but I wouldn’t hold your breath on that one.”*

Morrissey has apparently announced that he’s going to have nothing to do with the UK’s entry into this year’s Eurovision Song contest. After last year’s embarrassment, Morrissey exclaimed “I was horrified but not surprised…Why didn’t they ask me?”

A spokesperson for Auntie revealed:

“The BBC approached several artists and Morrissey was one of those that expressed an interest.

“Unfortunately, we were unable to go ahead with him being involved and we can now confirm that he definitely will not be taking part in this year’s competition.”

For shame! This disappoints me greatly, for several reasons:

1) I didn’t even know he was considering it, and I have lost much opportunity for enjoyment and mockery;

2) Morrissey. At Eurovision! Come on! We’d be guaranteed to win, even with all those conspiracies against us due to foreign policy blunders!

3) It would have made for some great banter from Wogan. “The Queen is dead? – more like Mozza’s self-respect!”

Ah well.
