Alf Poier Definitely one of the funniest entrants in Eurovision history, Alf Poier's 'Weil der Mensch zählt' (either "Because Humans Count" or "Man is the Measure of All Things") was funny in spite of being in Austrian. The English lyrics are below - and were copied from Alf's site - which is well worth a visit if you sprechen sie Oster.

While we were happy with Alf's 6th placing - the man himself was not. Issuing a statement in the week after Eurovision that he may return as Germany's entrant in 2004, dressed "as a cucumber-draped Christmas tree" in order to teach Europe the true word in Pop Culture.

I am disappointed.
I am the crucified Messiah of the new European pop culture.
My disastrous 6th place is new proof of the tastelessness and the spiritual decline of Europe.
I'm not going to take this mental humiliation and hereby protest against the result and its dirty accomplishment by politics and nationalism.
Europe's not ready for me yet, but I will teach this continent.
Luckily not I was the loser, but Austria.
The English lyrics for Weil der Mensch zählt:
All animals of the earth
I treat them with great care
But most of all I love
The bunny and the bear.

All birds bound to die out
All bugs forever leave
Only Adam lies in bed
And multiplies with Eve.

Rabbits dwell in forests
Cats play on the lawn
And the cockroaches
They live behind a wall.

Little bunnies have short noses
And little kitties have soft paws
And Mother Carey hoards a big pool
Of a dromedary's finest wool.

The difference between humans
'tween monkeys and primates
Is not much more than that
'tween noodles 'n' carb'hydrates.

Those who are further interested
Must study... biology
Or inform themselves
On my homepage full of glee.

Some animals have wings
Others got two fangs
Some may sleep outdoors
The rest lies dead in cans.

Little bunnies have short noses
And little kitties have soft paws
And Mother Carey hoards a big pool
Of a dromedary's finest wool.
