Tuesday 9 May 2023: Daves unofficial entry to the Eurovision Song Contest is now live on Daves YouTube channel - @DaveTVChannel.
We Also Wrote A Song is written by singer, songwriter and comedian Jazz Emu (Chortle, Best Variety Act Winner 2023), and also features vocals from Rachel Parris (Late Night Mash).
Dave - We Also Wrote A Song (ft. Jazz Emu & Rachel Parris) |
Inspired by the excitement of the first Eurovision Song Contest being held in the UK since 1998, Dave decided they simply cant miss out on the action. Jazz Emu, follows in Mae Mullers footsteps to create We Also Wrote A Song for Daves own unofficial entry into the Eurovision Song Contest. The song features Jazz Emu and Rachel Parris, with Abi Clarke, Darren Harriott, Helen Bauer and Josh Jones all joining in with the fun and taking part in the music video.
Daves We Also Wrote A Song is a celebration of The Eurovision Song Contest and the community that makes it the biggest song competition in the world.
WE ALSO WROTE A SONG LYRICS: Eurovision 2023 / Thats right / Were Jumping On The Bandwagon / (We Also Wrote A Song)
If Australia can take to the stage at Eurovision / Does that mean anyones welcome to? / Cause at Dave we are tired of facing our televisions / We wanna be a part of the Euro Crew
So weve signed the mandates, weve hired the spandex / Spectacular pyro is poised / Our key changes are primed, and our air grabs are vibing / So lets hope we get some points
Because we have spent / over 95 percent / Of Daves annual budget / On legally becoming a nation!
So we can enter Eurovision / Weve spent, er, several million / On legal fees, and smoke machines / And pantsuits made of mirrors
We wanna winning entry / So were putting in plenty / Of pan-European hooks / Which are non-English speaking friendly like / Zayayada, zayayada, oh
We wanna winning entry / So were putting in every / Single musical genre thats won / Eurovision previously like: Zayayada, zayayada, zayayada, wind machine
Weve seen other countries use traditional national music / To show their rich cultural heritage / So we took all the profits from our other shows and used it / To invent Daves national instrument
We dont know which countrys going to give us the points when we climb up on that stage / So were hedging our bets by including a phrase in every single EU language
Nous sommes d sesp r s (we are desperate! French) / Ja me tahame seda v ita! (and we want to win it! - Estonian) / lo haremos (Spanish) parzialmente in fiamme (with our costumes partially on fire!)
[The music suddenly cuts]
