It's been announced that we get to compete in Eurovision, so naturally people have started putting up their hands. Move over Jess Mauboy, a aussie viking metal band has written a letter to the SBS explaining how they are best for the job. An excerpt of the letter:
This herculean responsibility must not be handed to the likes of Shannon Noll, Olivia Newton-John, Sia (whoever that is) or Ricki-Lee. Their feeble frames will be crushed by the weight of the task. Prince Phillip and his knighthood will chortle and mock us from afar whilst our collective nation moans begrudgingly at another squandered opportunity.
There is however another choice. A choice that will unite the nation, boost the economy and establish a tourism boom like never before! A choice that will once again inspire the terrific people of the South Pacific to hold their heads high and proud, in awe of what the little country down under can do when they put their minds to it.
That choice is BARBARION. Cometh the hour, cometh the men.
