A load of old bobbins


A few days ago the Schweizer Rundfunken Gemeinschaft (or La Société Suisse de Radiotélévision if you prefer.... or even La Società Svizzera di Radiotelevisione if you're gonna be pedantic) selected DJ Bobo to represent the land of mountains and cheese.
He's not really my cup of tea.
He's a "DJ" of the Daz Sampson or DJ Ötzi variety... ie: a load of old cheesy nonsense. He had a massive hit in some countries a few years back with a song called Chihuahua, which was used on a Coca-Cola advert in Spain.
In my opinion, if you're going to make dance music, make dance music and not "dance music". C'mon Cascada and Infernal may not be the best dance acts goin', but at least they know how to produce a banging tune.
Mind you he is a Swiss, which is significantly more than the last 2 Swiss entries have managed to be so maybe it's not all bad. Also, some of the stuff Daz Sampson has done with Uniting Nations is ok, so maybe I'll reserve judgement on this guy until I've heard the song.
In the meantime, kill yourself watching the vid of Chihuahua!
