[Rate] The Impossible Country: A Journey Through The Last Days of Yugoslavia (Brian Hall)

[AlbanianLegend1994]

'In the last few years Yugoslavia has always done pretty well,' Vesna explained, 'because the singers were always from Zagreb. But the Serbs couldn't stand it any more, and they forced this “Baby Doll” on us.'

'She's bad,' Nino said.

'You won't believe how bad she is.'

'It's embarrassing.'

As this was a delayed broadcast, Nino and Vesna already knew that Baby Doll (instead of making herself up to look like Marilyn Monroe, she used an English stage name) had finished in second-to-last place. 'Of course,' Nino grumbled. 'Stupid Serbs.'

I pointed out that the Italian host this year was an utter klutz who could only speak Italian. But Nino still fretted. Baby Doll came on in a loud aquamarine costume, and Nino and Vesna could hardly watch, they were so mortified. The voting began, and Baby Doll headed for her predetermined spot at the bottom.

I remember the pre-qualifications in 1991 or 1990

Out of the 2 dozen songs "Brazil" immediately stood out tbh, I thought it made sense Bebi Dol won

I use the moniker 'bebidol' on several online casinos. The dealers always lol when they read my name.
