Two Hearts - Eurovusion (Open Up)

A tongue-in-cheek campaign to get New Zealand admitted into Eurovision was launched by Kiwi brewery "Yeastie Boys". Two Hearts, a Kiwi comedy pop-duo consisting of Laura Daniel (vocals) and Joseph Moore (beats/vocals when it is not too hard), debut the first-ever "official/unofficial" Eurovision entry. The song details the "plight" of New Zealanders, imploring the world to “Open Up”.

 Lyrics

  • Europe united but we weren’t invited

    And we feel like a failure

    We get the reason, we’re not European

    But neither is Australia

    And those guys live so far away

    And we are just a teeny bit further

    So you should let us into the UK

    We’ll bring our own plug converter

    English muffins, Dutch ovens

    European things, we love ‘em

    I’ve got German second cousins

    Let us into Eurovusion

    We’re not bluffin’, we’ll be stunnin’

    You got space, you kicked out the Russians

    You want beers? We’ll bring a dozen

    Let us into Eurovusion

    Open up, open up

    And let us in

    Showing up is enough

    We probably won’t win

    Open up, open up

    We’d love to go

    To Europe, to Europe

    We’re ready for an

    OE OE OE OE

    OE OE OE OE

    OE OE OE OE

    OE OE OE OE

    Like your washing on the line when it starts to rain

    We don’t wanna be left out

    When you’re sitting on the bench when they start the game

    We don’t wanna be left out

    When your neighbours are throwing a cool sounding party

    We don’t wanna be left out

    Invited to a swingers’ night but you’re tardy

    We don’t wanna be left out

    Oceans may divide us

    But you should still invite us

    ‘Cause Europe deep inside us

    Thanks to the colonisers

    Open up, open up

    We’ll pack our bags

    We will try not to suck

    But we will be quite jet-lagged

    Ouvrir, ouvrir

    Inclure les Néo-Zéalandais

    Je ne comprends pas

    Parlez-vous anglais?

    Three-hundred-million years ago

    The world looked nothing like the one we know

    New Zealand in Europe’s not a crazy idea

    ‘Cause we used to be connected

    We used to be together in Pangea (Pangea!)

    In Pangea (Pangea!)

    In Pangea

    We used to be together in Pangea

    When the Earth began (Pangea)

    We were all one supercontinent (In Pangea)

    If you go back to the Mesozoic era

    Then Kiwis are European (Pangea)

    Open up, open up (in Pangea)

    And let us in (In Pangea)

    Showing up is enough (We used to be together)

    In Pangea

    OE OE OE OE (In Pangea, in Pangea)

    OE OE OE OE (We used to be together)

    In Pangea
