Portugal: Homens Da Luta- Luta é alegria

Now we all know Portugal is broke. And after sending some bloody good songs in years past they clearly didn’t want to take a risk this year. They figured if Ireland can send a turkey, Serbia can sing a song about an old shoe, someone else sing a song about a traffic jam, the UK can take part year after year, and all of these don’t come close to winning, this must be the recipe for succes, right? Of course sometimes ridiculous ideas, like ice skaters, lesbian harems in homophobic countries, men in monster masks, are succesful after all or very nearly so, like a drag queen dressed in tin foil or ballerinas coming from pianos, so you can never be too sure. But let’s say Portugal easily gets the null points this year. Despite singing a song about the political reality of their country. And go them for it!
