Chapeau, Baxxter!

Now, if a G-spot and a teddy bear (apart from summer night, dance, hot, free, baby and hold me tight) aren&#039;t cross-cultural ingredients for a perfect Eurovision song, what else is?

You are a real Tausendsassa, Baxxter.

I thought Larson was the name of a brand of boats. I seem to remember a model called Larson Hampton. Now that&#039;s a nice name for any new offsping being born into the Labour family.

Maybe someone could board this family and produce some offsping quick.]]></description>

Done! Since over the top camp doesn&#039;t go with Europop, I&#039;m going with a sort of Lady Gaga-esque US-style pop tune

[intro in &quot;morphed radio voice&quot;]
I&#039;m not a teddy bear,
I&#039;m not a teddy bear

[cue music and pumping rhythm]
Baby when when see me
I&#039;ve got everything you&#039;ve got [this is the cryptic bit that makes it a cult hit]
Baby when you meet me
We come and hit the spot

[Refrain]
I&#039;m not a teddy bear!
Cos teddies have no G-spot!
I&#039;m not a teddy bear!
Cos you make me feel so hot!

Baby in the summer night
Come and dance [pron. dense] with me
Baby hold me so tight
We will be so free!


[Refrain]
I&#039;m not a teddy bear!
Cos teddies have no G-spot!
I&#039;m not a teddy bear!
Cos you make me feel so hot!

[cue morphed radio voice]
G-spot, G-spot
Teddy beaaah
You&#039;re my G-spot teddy beaaaah.[sustained high note]
