Ireland's Eurovision Song Contest Belgrade 2008
(Eurosong Winner - Dustin the Turkey)
Lyrics:
Oh I come, from a nation
What knows how to write a song...
Oh Europe, where or where did it all go wrong....?
COME ON!!!!!!
Irlande douze points
Drag acts and bad acts and Terry Wogan's wig
Mad acts and sad acts, it was Johnny Logan's gig
Shake your feathers and pop your beak
Shake em to the west and to the east
Wave euro hands and euro feet
Wiggle to the edge of the turkey beat
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Do the funky beat
D O E double B L E Yeah
Hello Abba, hello Bono, hello Helsinki
Ola Prague, hello sailor, se la vie
Alvida sein Mama Mia, and god save the Queen
Bon joir Serbia, good day Austria
You know what I mean?
Shake your feathers and pop your beak
Shake em to the west and to the east
Wave euro hands and euro feet
Wiggle to the edge of the turkey beat
Shake your feathers and pop your beak
Shake em to the west and to the east
Wave euro hands and euro feet
Wiggle to the edge of the turkey beat
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
(and fart!)
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Do the funky beat
COME ON!!
Give us another chance, we're sorry for riverdance
Sure Flately he's a yank
And the Danube flows through France
Block voting, shock voting
Give your 12 today
You're all invited to Dublin Ireland
And we'll party the Shamrock way
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Do the funky beat
COME ON!!
Irlande douze points
Irlande douze points
Eastern Europe we love you
Do you like Irish stew?
Or goulash as it is to you?
Shake your feathers
Listen Bulgaria we love you
Belarus, Georgia, Montenegro,
Moldavia, Albania, Croatia,
Poland, Russia, Ukraine,
Macedonia, Love you Turkey
Hungary, Estonia, Slovakia,
Armenia, Bosnia Herzegovina
And don't forget the Swiss!
"Ireland: Culture most fowl: Dustin’s A-Z of Irish life"
Turkey, builder, sage — after 12 years on our television screens, the feathered philosopher is an institution. As movie stardom beckons, he has decided to share his encyclopaedic knowledge

As you know, I’m a very cultured turkey: I know what fork goes on what side of the table in Abrakebabra. I was brought up down the Long Mile Road, where people flush after them, not like Roscommon where people are not toilet trained: know what they call toilet paper in Roscommon? Your hand.
But enough of my yakking. James Joyce used to say that if Dublin was destroyed it could be rebuilt using Ulysses. I’m not comparing myself to Joyce, but I like to think that if the country vanished tomorrow, its culture could be replaced using my guide here. Use it; enjoy it; buy my DVD.
A Some might think it stands for the Abbey theatre, but for me it’s Aslan. I love their song, more for its durability than anything. It’s called This Is (Going to Last Us Another 20 Years). Aslan are the pioneers of unplugged gigs, of course; I’m still waiting in hope for Aslan Plugged.
B I didn’t know Brendan Behan, but I think I knew his sister Les who had a big black unibrow, like Chris de Burgh. I love Chris: when you put a singing turkey of his calibre out there I’m always going to look good. And how come now that Gay Byrne has retired he’s on television even more? Even at his funeral, he’ll be getting up, going: “Now we’ll take a break.”
C It’s great that people from Limerick like the Cranberries can make a few quid. When I was making my new movie I needed a trailer on set, so Dolores lent me her caravan, which I was chuffed about. As for the Corrs, I don’t like their music but they’re four great-looking women.
D As storytellers go, I’d prefer Anne Doyle to Roddy Doyle. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not the worst (he’s the thinking woman’s Brendan O’Carroll) but he needs to get some realism into his work. I went to see The Van, and it wouldn’t pass the NCT. Dana, though, he’s a nice lad. But he started that trend of bringing the Eurovision song contest here, sitting there in his dress. He’s doing the telly bingo now, I think.
E Enya — great ambassador for Ireland: she lives in a castle, she’s mystical, beautiful, rich and sings in an echoing Celtic whisper. It’s how Americans think we all are. She’s a lesson to us all in the selling power of blandness. Pat Kenny has a lot to learn from her.
F Fair City is the best thing RTE has ever made. But it should put in canned laughter, because the first time I saw it I didn’t even realise it was a comedy. I like Marian Finucane — Marian Verruca, we call her. She has the hots for me, though she’s old enough to be my grandmother. She’s always pinching me in the canteen, saying I have a lovely feathery arse. I point out she has a lovely hairy face.
G Bob Geldof is another great ambassador for Ireland. I recorded a single with him because I heard he had done a bit of work for charity. I collected him at the airport and we had to stop at Woodies DIY in Sallynoggin to look at the paint charts; he was looking at coco blue and yellow ochre — I think he was looking for names for his kids. As for Rory Gallagher, I don’t mind him, but I prefer Liam and Noel. They write the songs, so I think they’re the more talented brothers.
H Hall’s Pictorial Weekly was before my time, but it’s still the talk of RTE. When I first joined the station I remember them talking about your man actually having a good show, but it’s like I say: what do you call a good programme in RTE? Lost.
I The Irish Museum of Modern Art. Nice place. I always end up admiring the fire extinguishers and the exit signs, thinking they’re by Louis le Brocquy or R
With RTÉ releasing the 6 finalists names and songs officially earlier in the week, the airwaves are talking about only one entrant; Dustin the Turkey with his deuze points song. Dustin's participation has become the talking point of the Emerald Isle as well as the Eurovision community. Already he has become Ireland's bookies favourite to win the Eurovision!
'Irelande Douze Pointe'
The Irish final will be held on February 23rd when the public decides who will represent Ireland at the Eurovision semi-final in Serbia in May. Already the turkey has ruffled feathers with one Eurovision fans' website reporting that Dustin is in the running - with the headline "Puppet to Mock Eurovision?"
The Dublin turkey has an impressive CV, having run for president of Ireland, recorded with Bob Geldof and made a career out of insulting Pat Kenny and mocking Leitrim. But the puppet will have to pull some strings if he wants to make it to Belgrade. Bill Hughes, chairman of the judging panel, said Irish voters would have a very strong field to choose from.
