While the lads are clearly (clearly?) having a laugh about it, the idea of them representing our nation at the Eurovision Song Contest fills us with the kind of excitement that can't be easily described.Here's an idea. We'll do Eurovision, if the Irish public collaborate with us. To make the worst, tackiest song ever. So everyone is to blame

"Hammer Ferret" would be an international hit. We can already hear the inevitable Steve Aoki remix...It can be about a ferret sucking ketamine off the end of a hammer. But the subtext is about Ireland paying 42% of Europe's banking debt

Some of the best, most creative ideas come to us when we're not at our most lucid. Stephen King wrote Dreamcatcher when he was high on pain medication after his terrible car crash and that turned out just fine, right Stephen? "I don’t like Dreamcatcher very much. Dreamcatcher was written after the accident. I was using a lot of Oxycontin for pain. And I couldn’t work on a computer back then because it hurt too much to sit in that position. So I wrote the whole thing longhand. And I was pretty stoned when I wrote it, because of the Oxy, and that’s another book that shows the drugs at work.” Well, anyways, we still think The RubberBandits should do it. Not least because the after party sounds like a good ol' time:Asking us to do Eurovision, Is like when you're shitfaced on Linden Village with your pals and think it's good idea to go swimming.
