Eurovision maypole

 So, who spotted the Swedish maypole in Eurovision?  (a bit truncated but definitely a maypole)

Well, if I had watched it, I would have failed to spot it ...:-)
I hope my conditionals are correct:-)

You score a point for correct grammar!

But lose one for colloquial English

'La la la' means "I don't/won't hear you" (Sort of: "I'm singing this song which drowns out what you're saying") Often accompanied by putting your fingers in your ears to emphasize the not hearing.

Try 'Hurrah' instead.

Hurrrah then - but it was not a long-lasting euphoria, wasn´t it?
At least I can understand why my English friend uses it (mostly when speaking about politicians:-))-
Thank you, oh my teacher!!!
