Lale Andersen — Einmal sehen wir uns wieder
(Aaaahhh…) (Aaaahhh…)
Touching eyeballs with my fingers
That’s my greatest joy in life
How I love the sense that lingers
When I softly stroke an eye
On the bus or at the grocer’s
As I feel the urge arise
Then I turn to my side
See that stranger’s surprise
When I poke them in the eye
When I was a young girl
Then my life was drab
I was mostly feeling blue
But one day when I
Saw my teacher cry
I knew just what to do
Now I’m older and wise
But when I see such eyes
Then I lick my left thumb
And reach in up close
To caress that retina
Touching eyeballs with my fingers
Mmmmmmmmm….
All my friends and all my neighbours
Now wear shades most of the time
You should give it a try
Grab a friend by your side
Gently stroke them in the eye
Come, let’s play
Think of a movie you like,
say, Die Hard or Ghost
Then pick a singer you’d swap in a role
It wastes some time, let’s play
Superman is easy, that’s Kølig Kaj
He’d save your life but can’t handle kryptonite
and Paula Seling, she would fit well in
Amélie, with Ovi
In Julie Christie’s role in Don’t Look Now
is Irene Sheer
(please don’t imagine that sex scene)
Jamala types and types and types,
when she stars in The Shining,
“Crimea is Ukraine?”
Pastora Soler is a nun
She sings The Sound of Music
with lonely goatherds
I wish Carlos Paião were alive
He’d make the perfect James Bond
in Thunderball or
Spectre or Skyfall
I’d totally watch all these movies!
Back to our game:
Robert De Niro for Stefan Raab
in Meet The Fockers, well that would make me laugh
and screaming “Freedom”
is not Mel Gibson,
but Reynaert in Braveheart
Stefán & Eyfi wore the masks in Scream
They killed and schemed
(I should have mentioned – spoilers here)
The Toppers will give you a fright
when all their parts are showing
in The Full Monty
Alla Pugacheva really flies
because she’s Mary Poppins
Has vodka handy
The perfect nanny
Toto’s the Joker and Kikki is E.T.
and Mary Spiteri’s the Nightmare on Elm Street
and Anne-Marie David’s Bo Peep in Toy Story
Her sheep are Aska put out to pasture
Stjórnin are found when they’re Nemo and Dory
In Avatar you can watch Ambasadori
and Mean Girls are meaner with Deen and Polina
and Kalomira and Valentina
Alf Poier’s trousers are too tight
in Grease as Danny Zuko,
he’s John Travolta
Surely in The Silence of the Lambs
in Doctor Lecter’s role is
Who else? Carola
She’ll eat your face off
Argh!
(nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom)
How very tasteful
I hope this game gave you a smile,
it’s really quite distracting
Just time for one more:
Serhat as Darth Maul.

Jessica Garlick — Come Back
It’s been over one decade
Since my last time around here
Life made me go other ways
Be it work, leisure plans
Or social commitments, but
One Facebook post
“MB viewings”
And lockdown’s game change
Made me one day decide to
Come back (Come back)
It’s been awesome
How could I survive without this?
(Without this)
My sweet comeback (Comeback)
Such a pleasure
After all this time
Fitting in was so easy
You have touched my heart
I’ll never forget my
Comeback
We’ve had viewings every day
Loads of comments, votes, plus some bad taste
The points reveals were so great
As a host, I’ve enjoyed
The true sense of community
Oh, I’ve found so much wit
Contained in all threads
That I’m grateful for having
Come back (Come back)
It’s been awesome (How could I survive)
How could I survive without this?
(Without this)
My sweet comeback (Comeback)
Such a pleasure (How could I survive)
How could I survive without this?
(Without this, without this)
My sweet comeback (Comeback)
Such a pleasure
After all this time
Fitting in was so easy
You have touched my heart
I’ll never forget my
Comeback (Comeback)
So thanks from all my heart
2019, Yami won, writing ’bout a woman
Whose destination wasn’t quite as secret as imagined
Araby? No, that’s not a place
Polish flag there on her suitcase
Lightbulb moment for the team looking for a venue
Could West Pomerania play host in 2020?
Time to scope out the voivodeship
See if it suits our championship
Early Google results showed some promise
A picturesque riverside old town
The local fish spread appeared more like vomit
But there’s McDonald’s a couple blocks down
Recent years saw, despite reputation
A reduction in organised crime
All in all, the ideal destination
For the host team it was flight booking time!
So for 2020 it’s north-north-east to Poland
Why bother trying Syden? There’s a beach there on the Oder!
Off to the land of beer and curds
Złotych obtained, it’s time to board!
Little snag before we start trekking to Szczecin, oh—
Seems that Ryanair don’t offer flights from San Marino
Chopper it is, time to take off
To the airport named Solidarność
~ Folksy in-flight music ~
One tiny problem when we arrive:
A pandemic has shut the place down
And we are stuck in the airport, so it seems
Can’t enter Poland; no border police
But we wonder: could it work?
Empty terminal kinda sounds perf
Without an airplane in sight, this is ours
And we’ve got lyrics here to share, so on with the show!
We’ve hacked the departure boards to link them up to Scorewiz
And pasted the contest rulebook on the windows and doorways
Frozen pierogi’s what we live off
Vodka made from bison grass
Port Lotniczy Szczecin–Goleniów is this year’s venue
And soon we will start revealing all the songs that you sent through
Who’ll take this year’s alternative crown?
It’s almost time to find out!
