Less than 23hrs till this years final! _________________ RCCGB - THE Club for trips!

Heres the chorus: Dance it with Alonso, Dance it with Gasol Dance it with your brothers, all around the world Dance it with Bardem Dance it with Banderas Dance with Almodóvar Dance la Macarena For full lyrics and Rodolfo's details check: http://chikilicuatre.tumblr.com/p...848/rodolfo-chikilicuatre-english _________________ RCCGB - THE Club for trips!

Oh how we yearn for the good old days when we had such deep and meaningful lyrics as diggy loo diggy lay! _________________ John & Jane, Langroyd Hotel, Blackpool.

A Turkish guy's just agreed with me that our entry is horrific. He loves British pop music and can't understand why our songs are always so bad. I haven't seen anything to impress me yet, but I like the backing track on the Armenian number. _________________ Sarah RCCGB member - 2132 Plus four travelling coasters including Olympia Looping and Eurostar.

Maybe you could do Abba (with the boys being the girls and vice versa) or Bucks Fizz? I agree there, I think we ought to do Latvia's "Wolves of the Sea" at next year's Blackie Bash.  That's easy and fun for everyone to sing and dance along to.  Alternatively we could do Ukraine - Ani Lorak "Shady Lady" which was the runner-up again.  It's quite catchy, with a great dance routine.
