Lyrics

 

We talk about it every Saturday night
Don't get me wrong now but I think we completely mad
It's getting harder you see
Make way for fresh and clean love machine
The shaky jerky uncontrollable wreck
Who's REK?
Who the heck is REK?
AA-AA-AA
It's gonna take you away
AA-AA-AA
It's gonna take you away
Got people laughing at the way he move
The horny corny unpredictable motion train
We do it all for fame
Make way for fresh and clean love machine
The shaky jerky uncontrollable wreck
Who's REK?
Who the heck is REK?
AA-AA-AA
It's gonna take you away
AA-AA-AA
It's gonna take you away
Do the robot
Do the robot
Do the robot
Do the robot
Oh-h it's gonna take you away
Oh-h it's gona take you away and away and away
AA-AA-AA
It's gonna take you away
AA-AA-AA
It's gonna take you away
AA-AA-AA
It's gonna take you away
AA-AA-AA
It's gonna take you away

What have I missed?  

Venezuelan entry appeared in the opening post, but not in the thread itself. Presumably it was entered via PM (but could have been mailed in for all we know).

 

But apparently the rulebook was not violated with this. A nation can seemingly incognito itself through the whole contest (participate without making one post).

 

As for posting in the thread, it's a rule that we might wanna put on paper for the next Double Jubilee edition, though.

I just realized that Chile's song was released in 2020.

Well, it's not posted in the thread.

 

Was it send via a private message?

Yes, indeed, he sent me the song via a private message. He just asked me how to post song to thread and I'm still waiting if he do it  

[Hipooo 622]

Okay, I'm doing it instead @Argenis Gonzalez  He chose this song:

So, that's a problem, isn't it, @OlympicIRL?

Ideally everyone would post their entry in the thread but since it was posted to the organiser then it’s not a huge issue. I’d be more concerned if someone posted the song on their behalf entirely.

Yes, according to the rules the song should be released before December 31, 2017.

 

@ManuCHIL can you reconsider your entry? The song chosen was released in 2020? Can you post a replacement entry? Thank you

Hopefully he will choose a replacement but we can give small extension if needed. Let’s see how many entries we have received by end of day

True, but for the sake of transparency I think it's better to have entries posted in the thread itself. It's a standard practice anyways, which hasn't been interrupted for 18 full editions , so putting it in a rulebook would hardly be intrusive.
