Pay TV: Eurovision goes Electro - Part II

All that talk of Serebro reminded me of another excellent band that auditioned for Eurovision.

The year was 2004, the country was Sweden (often purveyors of fine pop music!) and the band was named Pay-TV. They entered with a song named Trendy Discothéque, which although it didn't win the Song Contest, became a major hit in Sweden and the surrounding countries.

The song also annoyed a lot of hardcore Electroclash fans, because their music was being 'sold-out', apparently, to a mass-market audience. - At least it's listenable though!
