And the winner of the 2004 Eurovision Song Contest is…

Sweden, with the song "It hurts"!

Sex-on-legs Lena Philipsson (whom, if I fancied women, I would probably lust after in a Frida-from-ABBA kind of way) last night dominated the electronic scoreboard (read: an Excel spreadsheet on someone's laptop) at the Eurovision preview that took place at Retro Bar in London.

As my Icelandic correspondent reported the results live from it via text messaging (I was meant to go but had to cancel at the last minute because I was in bed shivering),

"Sweden won at RETRO… But what do a bunch of poofs know. T"

We do my dear T., we do. And, according to this week's Popbitch newsletter, the Swedish entry is about anal sex.

All together now:

"Oh, and it hurts, how it hurts
In the middle of the night
In the light of the day
You know that it hurts
Really hurts, how it hurts
And I wish I could be stronger
No longer afraid…"
