I sincerely recommend you listen to the short demo available at 
http://www.eurovisiondownloadshop.tv, it's certainly way different than the 
other entries in the ESC.

Thanks! As a Finn myself, I'm ecstatic for the success of Lordi in the ESC. 
Realistically, I had thought we'd be able to make the top 5 (our best 
position so far has been 6th with Marion Rung's "Tom Tom Tom" back in the 
70's, which has since been repeated once, as I recall), but to win the ESC? 
It's something special, we've been trying for it for 40 years.
