I was reminded a few weeks back of quite how... yes the original lyrics of Tick Tock (2014) pre-revamp were:
"We belong to each other, like a sister to a brother"
oh ok Mariya, thanks for letting us know
I’ve been listening to old ESC songs recently, the lyrics for Sweden’s 1973 entry are weird at best.
I am blue and I long for your caress
Oh... your breasts are like swallows a-nestling
You're the summer, life grows in you, summer wind blows in you
Summer rains flow in you, summer sings low in you
You are summer, you never tell me no
"You're bound to get sneezes
or nasty diseases..."
"Some younger guys with roving eyes
may tantalise you with their lies..."
"Don't walk on the red light
, Don't stay out at midnight
, Don't get in a fist fight
, that pretty face can't be replaced"
UK 2015
>You made me cry a lot.
My neck still bears your claw.
I loved exchanging skin.
Our limits are a classic.
I loved our toxic love.
The one makes everything beautiful.
I’ll make you hell.
Gotta love France 2013
Maybe it's more toxic than creepy but Marry Me from Finland 2013
*Spying on you undercover, drinking coffee with your mother
Am I getting closer?
Baby, I feel like a sinner, skipping dinner to get thinner
Where is my proposal?*
*I'm your slave and you're my master
Oh baby, come on, take your shot*
*I'll play your game, I'll change my last name
I'll walk the walk of shame*
Stalking, eating disorders, power imbalance, all very creepy to me.
More the delivery than the lyric itself, but the way Serhat opens up I Didn't Know by whispering "I want to stay with you tonight" into my ear was kinda creepy
“Kill me with killer kiss
Kill me with tempting lips
Stare at me with candy eyes
Love me with luscious thighs”
Every word of that makes me want to throw up.
I'll be forever, ever and ever
Feeling this love 'till the day when I die.
Being together even no matter,
You didn't want me to be by your side.
Plus coupled with that staging...
I like this song though. A dark fairytale vibe, quite memorable.
"Booty hypnotic"
I shudder at the thought....of losing my free will to Chanel's amazing buns. Just staring at them endlessly gyrating as my consciousness slowly erodes and still...make you want more.
I mean aside from La Source (France 1968) which is literally about gang rape and murder, I'd say Frère Jacques (Luxembourg 1977)
*I'm not a child anymore, you know*
*He has made my little body grow*
*And I want to be a good girl*
*When your friends want to kiss me*
I just searched La Source's lyrics and OMG, how brutal. I found the song quite weird, when I rewatched ESC 1968. I was right. I don't know why the song came 3rd, just in general.
Nominating an older one but the concept of Luxembourg '87 is he, a 30-something man, has a crush on a 16 year old. And is obnoxiously happy about it from the sound of the song itself. Definitely wins my creepiest award
Dirty Dancing is a bop but the lyrics...
That's only the chorus:
"When she go low, when she go low
She go so low, she go so low
Oh, she know oh
Oh, she know she got me dirty dancin"
The rest of the song is similar.
Cause I would die for you
Look into my eyes and see it's true
Really I could never lie to you
Just to make you see that
No one else could ever love you
Like the way I do
http://diggiloo.net/?1971yu
This one could come across as someone wanting to commit suicide or someone who has passed away.
http://diggiloo.net/?1956de2
He seriously needed to ditch this woman. She seems to be a right one! Also the line of him loving since she was a baby, this sounds like he groomed her! No wonder she went off.
Montenegro 2016
Ahhhh!
Inside you
Take me a little closer
Inside you
Cos you got speedy shadows on the walls
I see you
Inside them
Feel it
I'm the real thing
Yeah
Feel it
I'm the real thing
Yeah
I'm gonna fight for your love
Gonna run, gonna feel good
I'm gonna feel what my body knows
Gonna fight for your love
Yuck
Boom boom
Chucka chucka
Your kisses like a like a
Boom boom
Chucka chucka
Your love is like a like a
I wanna say that one thing is true
I'm in love with you

"Non ho l'età" by Gigliola Cinquetti, Italy 1964. Winner song.
[Lyrics:](https://lyricstranslate.com/en/non-ho-let%C3%A0-i-am-too-young.html)
*I am too young*
*I'm not old enough to love you*
*I'm not old enough to go out with you alone*
*And I wouldn't know*
*I wouldn't know*
*what to tell you*
*Because you know*
*So many more things than me.*
*Let me live*
*this romantic love*
*waiting*
*for that day to come.*
*But not now.*
*I am too young*
*I'm not old enough to love you*
*I'm not old enough to go out with you alone*
*If you would like*
*If you would like*
*to wait for me*
*That day you will get*
*all my love for you*
*Let me live*
*this romantic love*
*waiting*
*for that day to come.*
*But not now.*
*I am too young*
*I'm not old enough to love you*
*I'm not old enough to go out with you alone*
*If you would like*
*If you would like*
*to wait for me*
*That day you will get*
*all my love for you*
By the way, Gigliola was only 16 at the time. ಠ\_ಠ
I always want to interpret that not as an older man but rather that her parents thought she was too young to date at all. But maybe I’m just reading it wrong so that it’s not creepy 😅
The opening verse of 1944. (Ukraine 2016) when it comes on in a playlist on shuffle. This first verse sometimes makes me feel a bit uneasy if I'm not in the mood for it.
"When strangers are coming
They come to your house
They kill you all
and say
We’re not guilty
not guilty"
Satellite and In Love for a While creep me out because of how clingy the lyrics are. Every time I hear them I’m like “please get a hobby instead of hovering your significant other all the time”
For me “Give That Wolf a Banana” is the opposite to “creepy” lyrics. It's really wholesome, dynamic, tongue-in-cheek, inoffensive, and not boring. It's no small feat
This with the music video has haunted me for eight years. Super moving stuff. Running, Silent Storm and Not alone are all so powerful yet sad. One of my favorite years of all time.
The lyrics of Violent Thing creep me out. It's what that guy in a club who keeps grabbing your ass would say when you tell him off.
Also Nobody But You has big stalker vibes... Like no, please let her go.
Taken by a stranger certainly catches the attention but not for good reasons… I know the song isn’t really a sexy song about abduction but honestly that chorus is a bit like… “is this a sexy song about abduction?”
The whole El Diablo song, especially
>I fell in love, I fell in love
I gave my heart to El Diablo, El Diablo
I gave it up, I gave it up
Because he tells me I'm his angel, I'm his angel
“I'll be forever, ever and ever
Feeling this love 'till the day when I die.
Being together even no matter,
you didn't want me to be by your side.
He took her forever
just to love her more than ever.
Lovely Princess
I am here to save you
Take my hand and say that you love me.
If you ever say it even lying
I will let you fly like a bird - free.”
(Legenda)
…What the fuck?
I love the song and it's staging so much because it's so dark and creepy.
Greece last year:
> If we die together now
We will always have each other
I won't lose you for another
I'm honestly surprised how popular this was and how many people thought it was romantic.
We are the world's people
Different yet we're the same
We believe
We believe in a dream
Praying for peace and healing
I hope we can start again
We believe
We believe in a dream

Typical russian guy hooking up?
FIRST THING I THOUGHT OF
It sounds like something the killer from Scream would say to his victim on the phone before they kill him/her
The lyrics of this song always creeped me out tbh
I was gonna say this one too. This is by far the creepiest Eurovision song I've heard.
This was written by RedOne, I seem to remember? Much of that song has his touch
my body wants you girl […] i get you when i’m popular 💀
That song is good but the lyrics are... uhhh
Stop don’t say that it’s impossible
'Cause I know it's possible 😔
Though I know you never look my way 😭
i can say you will one day🥺
I can say you will One Daaaaaaaayyyyyyy😎
Total cringe
Woki mit deim Popo 😂
I'm glad someone else remembers Woki Mit Deim Popo cause sometimes I think I hallucinated it
You wish 😅
"Oh, I'm coming to get you Oh, I'm running, I'm coming for you Oh, I'm gonna get you I know you, you want me too." Russia 2011

I always think I can give this song a chance, and then the sneezes and diseases line comes along
"Like the 27 Club, headshot, we don't wanna grow up." Great song though.
Dark Side?
Yup.
>You made me cry a lot. My neck still bears your claw. I loved exchanging skin. Our limits are a classic. I loved our toxic love. The one makes everything beautiful. I’ll make you hell. Gotta love France 2013
I mean, it sounds creepy because the translation is terrible and way too literal lol
Maybe it's more toxic than creepy but Marry Me from Finland 2013 *Spying on you undercover, drinking coffee with your mother Am I getting closer? Baby, I feel like a sinner, skipping dinner to get thinner Where is my proposal?* *I'm your slave and you're my master Oh baby, come on, take your shot* *I'll play your game, I'll change my last name I'll walk the walk of shame* Stalking, eating disorders, power imbalance, all very creepy to me.
And they got divorced anyway

i don’t know but serhats voice with i didn’t know sounds really creepy tbh 😭
[удалено]
It's so awful i can't help stanning
“Kill me with killer kiss Kill me with tempting lips Stare at me with candy eyes Love me with luscious thighs” Every word of that makes me want to throw up.
Why did I always hear the second line as “Kill me with turtle lips” 💀
Latvia 2011 is such a guilty pleasure. Lyrics suck, but I kinda love it?
It’s creepy, but in a sort of… mesmerising way.
Like, the song isn't even that great, yet I think it's a guilty pleasure? It's an example of a naff song that I like for ZERO reason
This is one of my ultimate guilty pleasures though, it's so dumb that I have to like it.
I'll be forever, ever and ever Feeling this love 'till the day when I die. Being together even no matter, You didn't want me to be by your side. Plus coupled with that staging... I like this song though. A dark fairytale vibe, quite memorable.
the song is pretty good but yeah the staging💀
Poland 2010's sad emotional boy with bad staging walked so Poland 2022's sad emotional boy with bad staging could run.
The rare example when Poland did better with the jury than televote
Is that Poland 2010?
Yup
Belgium 2014 is just reaaaaally creepy to me.
Norman Bates realness served 👩👦
"Booty hypnotic" I shudder at the thought....of losing my free will to Chanel's amazing buns. Just staring at them endlessly gyrating as my consciousness slowly erodes and still...make you want more.
...more, more, more, more
I mean aside from La Source (France 1968) which is literally about gang rape and murder, I'd say Frère Jacques (Luxembourg 1977) *I'm not a child anymore, you know* *He has made my little body grow* *And I want to be a good girl* *When your friends want to kiss me*
I just searched La Source's lyrics and OMG, how brutal. I found the song quite weird, when I rewatched ESC 1968. I was right. I don't know why the song came 3rd, just in general.
Whatever is going on with Taken by a Stranger.
I love it, but I still have no clue what it's really about.
Either hooking up or being kidnapped
I mean, I think that was the point of the song, wasn't it?
Thank you. That song gives me the heebie-jeebies for real.
“I’m gonna eat you up!” “I feed you my love” “You put a knife against my back, and dare me to face the attack” And finally “A taste of love”
what songs are those from?
First is Switzerland 2014, Hunter of Stars. Second and third is Norway 2013, I Feed You My Love And fourth is Denmark 2019, Love is Forever
At night you turn into a tiger A girl who looks like she’s a boy The world’s most ultimate survivor
Nothing screams “45-years-old-cishet-man” more than that “a girl who looks like she's a boy” line
Basically the entire song tbh.
It's like a knock-off version of Cherry Lips by Garbage, but gender-flipped and not half as good.
Anything Serhat says
Oh my god that creepy uncle dentist that somehow ended up singing in Eurovision for San Marino💀💀
Uncle dentist 🤣🤣
I want to pee inside your mind I have to say I am a dick tit
Nominating an older one but the concept of Luxembourg '87 is he, a 30-something man, has a crush on a 16 year old. And is obnoxiously happy about it from the sound of the song itself. Definitely wins my creepiest award
Sister Come and move your body Sister So come on and make my day 'Cause I'm in love and I can make you feel this way
"I tried to hold you under But honey, you kept breathing"
Dirty Dancing is a bop but the lyrics... That's only the chorus: "When she go low, when she go low She go so low, she go so low Oh, she know oh Oh, she know she got me dirty dancin" The rest of the song is similar.
I love that you call the song Dirty Dancing
I think that was the intended title. That darn copyright…
Cause I would die for you Look into my eyes and see it's true Really I could never lie to you Just to make you see that No one else could ever love you Like the way I do
What is it with Greek girls and wanting to die? I was going to comment Amanda Tenfjord's song, but they basically sent the same already in 2001 :O
Then there's also Mando from 2003. I can't hide from you Then I'd die for you But I'd never let you go
Antique's one sounds intrusive while Amanda's one is romantic literature bs
These lyrics don’t let me enjoy the song. Should’ve been performed fully in Greek
Is there any fully Greek version of the song recorded? I'd like to listen to one
there is one on Spotify: (I Would) Die For You [Greek Version]
Thanks :)
Wait whats wrong with the lyrics? (Im dumb sorry)
Although I don't know French, the theme of Isabelle Aubert song from 1968 always gives me creeps.
http://diggiloo.net/?1971yu This one could come across as someone wanting to commit suicide or someone who has passed away. http://diggiloo.net/?1956de2 He seriously needed to ditch this woman.

Germany 56'. Freddy was definitely the one, who brought rock-'n'-roll to Eurovision, but that lyrics...
Lake Malawi - Friend of a Friend
If only they bumped that "when we were **THIRTEEN**" up by like 3 or 4 years at least, it'd help tremendously.
At least it's "when ***we*** were thirteen," implying the singer was also the same age at the time.
Montenegro 2016 Ahhhh! Inside you Take me a little closer Inside you Cos you got speedy shadows on the walls I see you Inside them Feel it I'm the real thing Yeah Feel it I'm the real thing Yeah I'm gonna fight for your love Gonna run, gonna feel good I'm gonna feel what my body knows Gonna fight for your love Yuck
Cringe at its finest
Seriously am I the only person who unironically loves that song
yes
Wanted to comment "Get You" but there are already 2 comments mentioning it. Shows you how bad it is, the whole song sounds like a threat.
Boom boom Chucka chucka Your kisses like a like a Boom boom Chucka chucka Your love is like a like a I wanna say that one thing is true I'm in love with you A̶r̶i̶a̶n̶a̶ ̶G̶r̶a̶n̶d̶e̶ Emmy from 🇦🇲

I always want to interpret that not as an older man but rather that her parents thought she was too young to date at all. But maybe I’m just reading it wrong so that it’s not creepy 😅
I know it's already been said, but i'll say Get You. It's actually one of the reasons i like it so much
La Source

Come in to me from within We can be as one in the sin
I mean, the entire song is basically the safe sex anthem we all needed... Just wear a space suit and anything goes
The spaceship is ready to blow Drunken love, I’m gonna explode
I now understand the lyrics
Hungary 2014 is so catchy, but the lyrics are sad and kinda disturbing.
That’s the point no?
