This had to happen eventually. Somebody has used Artificial Intelligence software to generate a Eurovision song based on hundreds of previous entries. Ladies and gentlemen, I bring you Blue Jeans And Bloody Tears...

Are you sure this isn't a Sparks b-side?
It's quite interesting that's what it sounded like - although I'm surprised that the word "bloody" was chosen so prominently by the algorithm, as it's not a word I would expect to be used regularly in the contest. I'd also like to know what songs were used to feed the algorithm - I feel that if they just used winners, and presumably also used non-English lyrics, it would have turned out very different.

There's definitely a hint of Sparks in there! Maybe we should get them to write next year's song for us.

It even got the two key changes at the end Love it, we need to consult this robot.

Cool, but yes, knowing what songs were used to make it is important; especially since most Eurovision songs these days are written in a minor key, without key changes and are generally moodier.
It sounds like a Russian (or other ex-Soviet) entry from the late 00s.
