Swiss Bloodsuckers

Switzerland's DJ BoBo with "Vampires Are Alive" (2007)

If the freaks come out at night, then the first Eurovision 2007 semifinal must have been staged really late. Swiss DJ BoBo and his backup dancers hoped to present themselves as Count Dracula's latest victims. Instead, they resembled a camp dance troupe on Halloween. "Vampires are alive/ The legends have to survive/ We'll never come undone/ And we will be forever young." They wouldn't, however, be kings of Eurovision. Switzerland finished 20th out of 28 countries in the semifinal.
