Episode Notes
We are back back back back back again! And with an episode of Eurovision Fast Forward no less! Thank you for being patient with us during our break, and now we are back better than ever! In this episode of EFF, Jonathan, Millan, and Ellis take you through the first 7 Eurovision 2021 songs to be chosen (Albania, Israel, France, Ukraine, Croatia, Czech Republic, and Lithuania). We discuss things that are punk rock (which my mom could never), tik tok songs, tick tock songs, Dua Lipa, dancing alone, and the illusive chanteuse.

It's part 2 of our 1973 rewind and we're diving back into the world of creepy men and excitable music, this time featuring the debut of Israel and the divine presence of Sir Cliff Richard, OBE. Are Millan and Ellis still fighting about Monaco? Will Quinn actually enjoy a happy song for once? Where have the depths of Jonathan's research taken him and does he need a flotation device? Find out all that and more on this week's Eurovision Rewind podcast.

70s! Groovy! Piano rock! Yeah! Ellis is out on assignment this week so Quinn comes back to help Jonathan and Millan make sense of the Eurovision Song Contest 1973, and what a contest it is. From ice skater jumpsuits to kumbayahs to angry disputes, our unstoppable train of rewinds takes a stop in Luxembourg for a year of 17 songs, including the debut appearance of Israel. Did anyone come with good hair? Did Monaco come with a good song? Does the flag of Colorado make for a good dress? Tune in to find out!

EUROVISION 1990 IS OVER AND I, FOR ONE COULD NOT BE MORE GLAD! We wrap up one of the overall worst years we've covered yet, with plenty of pandering, geopolitics, and truly horrific fashion all bundled in to a shockingly dreary show. Though we, with our good friend Eurocat, have made a pledge to cover them all and so cover them all we shall! Does Yugoslavia collapse musically as well as politically? Are we in for ANOTHER undeserved UK second place? Tune in to this week's Eurovision Rewind to find out!

Episode Notes
Oh boy. This week we are taking it back to a strange, strange year for a strange, strange Eurovision; ESC 1990 held in Zagreb, present day Croatia (then Yugoslavia). In this episode, we chat Eastern European communism, how much music culture may have survived the inquisition, discount versions of songs that are discount versions of music, and so much more.

We're wrapping up the 1962 contest this week with a whip around the second half of the songs, before Jonathan reveals the results and we all get somewhat hot and bothered. From the sultry tones of Monaco to ANOTHER SONG ABOUT DING DONG we cover them all on our quest to rewind every Eurovision ever. Is the winner justified? Why does Jonathan hate straight people? Tune in and find out on this week's Eurovision Rewind.

The 1962 rewind is here, bringing us back into the time of black and white video, overly formal presenters, and a disgusting amount of opera. This week, we've got more questionable subject matter, some twins, and what just might be Jonathan's least favorite song yet. What could inspire such revulsion? Tune in to find out!

This week we're talking second half of last year's contest, with such hits as big art deco door and Australians in space! Ellis and Jonathan are at each other's throats about staging, we are ONCE AGAIN disappointed by the United Kingdom, and we run through the contest's results. All that and more, as we rewind just a little bit this time to the far-off year of 2019. Who was our favorite? Why do we make even more Mad Max Fury Road references? Tune in to find out!

This week we rewind... not that long actually, to the FAR OFF year of Two-Thousand-Nineteen! Last year's Eurovision Song Contest brought us some deeply catchy tunes, some deeply flawed performances, and some surprisingly deep divides in our hosts. Who knew that a slightly-too-tight camera angle and some dorky Czech indie pop could cause such ferocious arguments? Then, Duncan Laurence, the most stan-accounted man in Eurovision, croons his way into our life. Disagree with our takes? Got anything to chime in?

OHHH MY GOD! IT'S REAL! THE EUROVISION REWIND 2000! Wadde! Hadde! Dudde da! This week we're covering the INCREDIBLE second half of the 2000 content, and we couldn't be more entertained. We've got autotuned grandfathers, Stefan Raab makes an appearance, and we declare songs to be the best(!) and worst(!!) that we've covered yet. However you rate those, you can't deny that this year is certainly one of the most Eurovision years we've had the good fortune to rewind to. Then, Jonathan reveals the results to Millan and Ellis and we've got a new way of picking our next contest. It's all here, it's all good, thanks for tuning in!

Schlager music. It's bubblegum pop's bubblier, sugarier cousin. It's eurodance without the edge. And it's all over the Eurovision Song Contest of the year 2000. We've got possibly the worst song we've covered to date, unintelligible mumbling that would make Tommy Wiseau proud, and the mind-boggling fashion choices that could truly only be at Eurovision at the turn of the 21st century. Tune in for all the saccharine goodness as we rewind back 20 years to ESC: Y2K.

The OGAE Second Chance Contest 2020 results were revealed a week ago today. In our humble opinion, they were some HOT trash. So, of course, we went over them after tiring ourselves out with a long recording session. Strap in for lots of angry words and low-quality results. THEN we make a fun future content announcement. What could it be?...
The full playlist of songs can be watched and heard here.

A shorter episode this week, as we wrap up the SECOND song from each country (wild, right???) from the first ever Eurovision Song Contest in 1956 and reveal the winner. We've got... well, really good songs mostly! There's swing, swagger, and Switzerland, and it's all lying in wait on this episode of the Eurovision Rewind podcast.
You can listen (the video is unfortunately lost) to the entire 1956 grand final for yourself here.

This week, we're going ALL the way back! It's the very first Eurovision Song Contest, before it was even called Eurovision, and we're doing a full song-by-song rewind. Things were a little different the first go round, but it's still got all your favorite Eurovision hallmarks. There's key changes, novelty songs, snoozy ballads, Jonathan and Ellis going at each other's throats about musical merit, y'know, the usual. So stick around! It's gonna be a good one!

We will be guiding you through some couture bear costumes, hot pink latex, children's costumes that (almost) made it to Eurovision, Carly Rae Jepsanmarino, and our biggest fight since Je ne Sais Quoi. At the end, we also play a little game (the results of which will be revealed soon!)

The best and worst of the 1995 episode is all here! From the white, British reincarnation of TLC, to songs so boring we pull out the deep XBOX Kinect knowledge, it's an enthralling installment of the Eurovision Song Contest. There's abuse of plaid, a Kurt Cobain lookalike balladeer, and a man who JUST NEEDS TO SHAVE! It's all here, as we rewind back to the Eurovision Song Contest 1995.

The '90s! A decade full of the sugariest pop, the grungiest rock, and a lot of ambient breakbeats. Only one of those things made it to the Eurovision Song Contest 1995 though, and we're here to rewind back and give those composers what for. This week we've got a shocking chart recap game, TECHNICALLY not a hurdy-gurdy, and a small woman carrying a large saxophone. Grab your VCRs, put on your Beavis and Butthead t-shirt, and sit down for a lovely hour of '90s action.
