No chance mate, Zig and Zag are Irish! 
Them and Podge & Rodge should be back up singers for Dustin. Now that'd be some show!

[i]I don't see hor Ireland would make it to the final when its not even competing with singing a descent song but foolishly asking for 12 points for Ireland in musical way, besides, its not muppet show or telly tubbies etc.. its ESC.[/i]
Firstly Ireland will be competing in the semi-final. Secondly its not meant to be a bloody quality song, its a pisstake! Lighten up ffs.
[i]We can see Ireland was effected by Verka of Ukraine from last year and ended up producing/recycling new version in rediculous way. Pathetic.[/i]
Ah get real would yeh. Dustin has been around for decades and has made several pisstake songs over the years. He has a reputation for doing this kinda thing in Ireland, and his song is in no way a copy of Ukraine's entry last year. As someone else said, the only similarity between Dustin and Verka is they're both gimmick acts, which have been in Eurovision for years.
But I can't speak Turkish...
So many of you insist on commenting some rubbish here. The only similarity between Verka and Dustin is that they are both characters / gimmicks - that's it. The theme of both songs is completely different - Verka's was nananannananananana while Dustin's is about the sham Eurovision has become.
Galena is absolutely right too
I pity the witless minnows on this thread who repeatedly cast aspersions on Dustin's muscial genius and gargantuan intellectual influence.
Forgive them, Dustin - they know not what they say... 
Hehe Donna & Joseph, the Hansel & Gretel of Eurovision. I love that entry but for ALL the wrong reasons....in this world.
i dont have any qestion for him .. because i dont know how turkeys speak
I don't see hor Ireland would make it to the final when its not even competing with singing a descent song but foolishly asking for 12 points for Ireland in musical way, besides, its not muppet show or telly tubbies etc.. its ESC.
Last year, Switzerland created unusual vampires singing and dancing in ESC that they though they can win like Monsters of Finland.
We can see Ireland was effected by Verka of Ukraine from last year and ended up producing/recycling new version in rediculous way. Pathetic.
Copies doesn't work while fooling about.
Molly
Yeah I forgot... God that was pretty bad song how could I forget it !!!
Night Elf
Donna and Joe didn't make it either!
@ Night Elf
It is a possibility, assuming that Dustin won't get to the final and assuming we started watching the ESC in 2006 or 2007.
Oh my god....How can one support his land with THIS song ?....Oh my god...Its a shame...Its against the beatuful songs soo unfair....I hope One of those will win....
Russia; Greece; Turkey; Ukraine; Armenia; Macedonia; Azerbaijan; Germany or Albania....Good luck...Kisses from TUrkey!!!...
Maybe this year we wont see Ireland in final for the first time !!!
@Galena
You're still on it, I see...
Dustin or Dustbin whatever, is just singing the 12 points to Ireland as a recycled Verka version. At least Verka was singing with lyrics such as "Dance to live, don't live to dance". I don't think Ireland would do well with this meaningless puppet. Whats this! ESC or some kids contest for god sake!.
Let them fool about and return home with poor result to learn something from that maybe.
Dustin is fine i wonder what he will say about the Nunanenenenunane Jelena interview and the obvious understimation of his and all other songs this year.
LOL
next year i hope DR (Denmark) would send
KAJ & ANDREA

Zig and Zag next year for UK!
Loser Dustin !!
My question is: Have you no shame!?
Stupid Turkey..... go drown in some Kerrigold!
@ Mark Eastwood: NO, unfortunately. It's too late for RTÉ to withdraw.
If we ignore him, do you think he'll go away?
Ah for jaysus sake would the lot of yeahs get a bloody sense of humour!
Dear Heini Peterson
it is one thing to critisize [i]Dustin[/i], BUT PLEASE don't put it in the same sentences as the classic [i]Muppet Show[/i]. Some things are so sacred they shouldn't be associated with modern crap.
