Here comes another helping of Eurovision betting odds, and you’d better be blimmin’ ready.
But you’re probably thinking ‘what use is the Eurovision Song Contest if the contestants can’t secure some long-lasting fame from it. What can they do to make this happen?’ And the answer is perfume. This week the Georgian Eurovision hopeful has launched her own line of perfumes to help ‘convey her inner essense’. Early reports suggest that it smells of pigshit and cabbages.
Here are the Eurovision betting odds for Estonia, with help from Paddy Power…
Estonia (pop. 1,408,566; a country in northern Europe): Kreisiraadio, Leto Svet
If you’re looking for the worst Eurovision entry of the year, look no further – it is Leto Svet by Kreisiraadio. It’s so bad that it’s almost impossible for us to describe it, but we’ll do our best. Leto Svet is a kind of boingy comedy Europop performed by what we imagine to be the Estonian Chuckle Brothers, one of whom looks like Jonathan Ross. The lyrics to Leto Svet are bad – “Who I am? Check please. My hostel ran out of gas. My gas ran out. Two double piece of chocolate cake. Enough of green beans! Enough (sick)!” – but the toe-curling slapstick choreography is far, far worse. If you want to know what hell sounds like, watch the video above. But only do so knowing that one of the singers is a respected TV presenter, a former member of parliament and a man who was recently awarded the rank of junior lieutenant by the President of the Republic of Estonia. Terrifying. Current Eurovision betting odds – 33/1
Tomorrow: Finland! But if that’s too long to wait – or you feel like making more money than you know what to do with – head right over to the Paddy Power Eurovision betting odds page to see the latest, and best, betting odds.

I hope you understand that this song is just a big joke, a parady of whole eurovision contest. All three are not singers but well known comedians in Estonia. It’s a composite of all ridiculous things in Eurovsion:
– lyrics are in serbo-horvatian language to attract the votes of all ex-yugoslavian states (all the languages there are quite similar to each-other).
– some of lyrics are in finnish – in eurovision always neighbours give each-others good points
– lyrics are totally pointless – just phrases taken from a tourist dictionary
– ridicoloous looking dancers on the backround
– melody as typical euro-hit as possible.
– moment of silence in the middle of song to attract attention
I think they initially just wanted to make a joke for estonians… they never expected to get through Estonian precontest. But estonians just liked the joke so much I think. BTW, estonian language is very different from serbo-horvatian, so estonians didn’t understand a word of the song and still voted for it.

Oh, one more thing… there is actually 3 of them, just the 3rd guy was somewhere away when this video was taken.
And the name “Kreisiraadio” (Crazy Radio) should indicate very well that this is a name of a comedy group (initally started as a radio show) not a name of serious band.
