The Makemakes - I Am Yours

This band is classed as pop –rock, kind of like the candy, but this song, if anything, is old-school. I would work just as well on a mono 45 as it does in HD, actually I think it would sound better on a 45. It would also sound good as the theme music to a TV series but the bookmakers don’t think it sounds that good as a Eurovision song.

This song won the national final so convincingly that I don’t know why Austria bothered with a superfinal. I don’t actually mind this song and it will get a big cheer in the final being the hometown hero.

The coolest thing about this band is that they named themselves after a dwarf planned that was discovered in 2005. That planet was named after an Easter Island deity because the planet was discovered just after Easter (makes sense). Makemake is proof that science and religion can get along.

From a little planet to My Little Planet from 1976
