It’s May, and that can only mean one thing: it’s time for the Eurovision Song Contest. This year’s edition of the international-but-primarily-in-Europe competition features a uniquely eclectic group of songs (per usual), from a take on electro-flamenco, to Game of Thrones EDM, to a previous winner’s return to the Eurovision stage. On this episode, Charlie and Nate look at the six songs bookmakers are looking at to lead the pack of this year’s entries.

Songs Discussed:

Alessandra – Queen of Kings

Deadmau5 – Right This Second

Gabry Ponte, R3HAB, Timmy Trumpet – Call Me 

La Zarra – Évidemment

Édith Piaf – Non, je ne regrette rien

Claude François – Alexandrie Alexandra
