Eurovision clarification by Sanctuary spokeswoman; spoof on Radio 4

Morrissey invited to pitch for Eurovision - The Independent

Excerpt:

(...)But it appears the BBC Eurovision production team may have mistaken irony for enthusiasm. A spokeswoman for Sanctuary, Morrissey's record company, said that while they have not had a definitive "no" from the singer, the idea appeared to be, "a non-starter". She added: "He has certainly had an invitation, but we think it is unlikely he will be taking this forward."

The BBC refused to shed further light, saying that matters were at an "early discussion stage" and stressing that Morrissey was only one of several artists and record companies who had been approached.

I found this on the BBC website, some "funny" chap has recorded Moz's eurovision entry already:

It is being rumoured that former Smiths front man Morrissey may write the UK's entry for this year's Eurovision Song contest.

The Today programme decided to find out what such a tune may sound like - with a little help from Richard Webb.

Follow this link, click on "Morrissey's 'Eurovision song', or use the direct link (link from an anonymous person).

Great funny tune! I wish Morrissey would actually record something like this.

Oh, and I'm the first to comment!

Cheers,

    What is that? Why are people going on about it? I thought this site was for Morrissey... not for idiots.

    That horrendously faggoty banner (Score:0)
    Hey, David Tseng--your cheesy west coast fag sensibility has nothing to do with the nuanced, atmospheric homo stuff that Morrissey has perpetrated again and again over the years in his cover art and in his concert graphics. These stupid-ass banners you keep putting up... That Rollins guy swigging liquor, and now these Act Up spastics going on a gay pride jog. Negro, please. It's perfectly easy to see why Moz was ashamed of you and your website. Quit trying. Thanks.
