EUROVISION: The London Olympics Edition, part 3

Remember, these are the countries who participated at EUROVISION LVII in May in Baku, who if they wish, could send an Olympian from the London games to represent their respective countries in the most prestigious song contest in the world.

DISCLAIMER: Again, this is spoof and is NOT meant to be taken seriously.

Let's continue with the next seven countries.


GERMANY. Julius Brink & Jonas Reckermann "Kings of the Bitches (Beaches)"
This is one of the most funniest song in the competition, because it describes how far the German duo have come to win gold at London in men's beach volleyball. If you love '60s rock and roll, you will love this!


GREAT BRITAIN. Mo Farah "Longer Than You Thought!"
This is Team GB's entry in the competition, a rap piece, this after his wins in the men's 5000m and 10000m this past week. The lyrics also state that only real athletes run longer distances than sprints. Fans of underground rap will love this!


GREECE. Voula Papachristou "I Should've Been There!"
"I Should've Been There" is about the life struggles of the long jump athlete whose 'controversial' tweets caused her to miss the flight for London. It's a cross between Melissa Etheridge and Lisa Loeb and is meant for those tastes.


HUNGARY. Daniel Gyurta "Who's Daniel Gyurta?"
Another rap piece, this time from the swimmer who's gold medal swim in an event a couple weeks ago boasts the question: "Who's Daniel Gyurta?" With beats similar to those produced by DJ Premier, Gyurta explains who he is and why he shocked the swimming world. Brilliant piece that is NOT for the lowest common denominator of fans.


ICELAND. Men's handball team "Almost There"
"Almost There" recounts the experiences that Iceland had in the men's handball tournament at London. Teary and emotional for the Euroballad fans. This is in the form and style of U2, so if you're fans of U2, you'll like it.


IRELAND. Katie Taylor "Third Round Knockout"
"Third Round Knockout" is a powerful rap/RnB tune by the first woman boxer from Ireland to win gold at the Olympics. This is more proof that a song is powerful is way better than what Ireland had at EUROVISION in 2011 and 2012. Jedwardians, prepare to get your asses kicked via 'third round knockout!'


ISRAEL. Yakov Toumarkin "(You Can) Press My Luck"
Title of this epic pop masterpiece says it all. Toumarkin became the first Israeli to swim to a final in a swimming event. More importantly, the last name sounds like 'Tomarken' as in the late Peter Tomarken, presenter of Press Your Luck and WIPEOUT and the first name 'Yakov' as in Yakov Smirnoff. From the same team who produced "This is the Night" by Kurt Calleja, the Maltese entry at ESC LVII. There are other covers out there of this song, including this gem: "In Soviet Russia, Luck Presses You!"

So that's part 3. Up next: part 4, featuring Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Malta, Moldova and Montenegro.
