It's the best time of the year: Eurovision week!

Every year,Beauty and the Beast porn parody (1988) the European Broadcasting Union puts on the world's biggest song contest, with countries all across Europe (and some outliers like Australia) sending musical acts to compete. Entries range from sincere ballads to poppy dance numbers to hard rock hits — all tinged with classic Eurovision weirdness... After all, it's Eurovision: If it wasn't a little bit strange, I'd be worried.

Luckily for Eurovision numbers, 2023's contest — which takes place in Liverpool in the United Kingdom, as 2022's winner Ukraine was unable to host due to the ongoing war with Russia — has gotten off to a fantastic start. Semi-final 1 featured a bevy of bizarro bops, from Croatia's anti-war anthem to Moldova's flute rave. And while not every song featured in the semi-final made it through to Saturday's final, many of them were immortalized in the internet's love language: memes.
