Episode 47: Eurovision Christmas Songs

The Christmas season is upon us, and not even the Eurovision Song Contest is capable of resisting those sleigh bells. The Eurovangelists are joined by the hilarious Jiavani as they go through a winter wonderland of holiday music performed exclusively by past ESC artists. Jeremy’s belting out with Saturday morning gusto, Dimitry urges us all to be proud of our bodies, Jiavani lobbies for more aunt songs, and Oscar discovers Something Magical about the holiday season.

Dimitry’s extended Eurovision Christmas mix.

Jeremy’s holiday surf mix.

A translated article and examples of the strange case of Icelandic holiday covers of Italian San Remo songs. (Hat tip to listener Sara!)

Can’t you imagine Sam Ryder singing the them to Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors?

And as always, this week’s companion playlist.
