Lordi to produce Morrissey's song for next years Eurovision song contest?

New Musical Express (NME) 10th of June issue contains an interview by this years Eurovison song contest winner, the Finnish monster Band the Lordi. The band took victory this year by surpire with the winning song 'Hard Rock Hallelujah'.
Among others the French tv commentators seriously doubted their chances and even trashed the band welcoming them to Parish Zoo after the contest.

In the humorous interview the leading figure of the band, Mr. Lordi the battle axe and bat wing man himself, states that in case the British rock icon Morrissey indeed would go into lengths of representing his country in this contest next year, He would be ready and most happy to produce it. Or any other pop princess or jazzbad would do for that matter, Lordi assures, denying he's never been a great fan of the man or his ex-band.

Regarding of Morrisey's dressing policy in the contest and weather a monster suit would boost him to victory, Finnish Monsterman has a clear opininon.

A man hanging a round in suit looks always monsterous, referring to Morrisey's preferred outfit.

Mr. Lordi also confess he was close losing his suit virginity, after the victory.

This "news" is 100% out of context. Lordi was questioned whether he would compose a song for another artist - then Morrissey was brought into it because of his recent eurovision "comments" - and Lordi replied "well, anyone".
Morrissey's eurovision comments were completely flippant Moz tonque-in-cheek humour!
And yet this makes the news on Morrissey-solo!
yawn.

Default Lordi on Morrissey
Through all the Smiths related stuff in this week's NME, I missed the interview with Lordi in the same issue. Here's some questions:

NME: "Morrissey wanted to enter the Eurovision Song Contest for the UK. Could you produce a song for him?"

Lordi: "I could do anything with anybody if they ask and I'd have no problem with Morrissey - I am open minded in many ways. Of course, I wouldn't go to a neo-nazi rally - I'm not that open minded - but whether it's Morrissey or a pop princess or a jazz band, I'd do it. Keep your windows open."

NME: "Keeping your windows open is a great phrase. What would Morrissey's Lordi costume look like?"

Lordi: "Well, a man in a monster costume always looks like a monster. It doesn't make a difference who is inside."

NME: "Were you a fan of The Smiths?"

Lordi: "No. My musical influences are pretty obvious. You know how a horse has flaps on their head so they don't see? Yes. I am like that with music. When I first heard Kiss that fitted me. Hard rock music. Heavy metal. All this 'Smiths' and 'Morrissey', I never got it. There is just one exception to that rule - Depeche Mode.
