Ladies and Gentlemen of the newly elected Europe,
****Please read this in a silly accent****
It's US! Can you see us wearing ROSETTES? RED and BLACK ones? For YOU! YOU who have voted.... with your feet. YOU who chose... with your hearts. "YOU-HOO that went with the FEELING" (sing it).
Thank you to everyone in the Czech republic, and possibly other countries, who voted ODS in last week's elections, believing it to be us, their friends, ORKESTRA DEL SOL, who entertained them so amusingly on TV last summer. The Swedish have a Pirate Party (apparently not a mis-spelling). Slovakia have the SMER campaign. But it's the Czech that have the ODS. But you don't want that ODS - you want THIS ODS! BRING ON THE BAND!
Just imagine the party - The ORKESTRA DEL SOL PARTY, PARTY PARTY PARTY! As your democratically chosen representatives of MUSICAL MAYHEM, we will unite the whole European Zone with DANCING and LAUGHTER. Bring on the tax-free GIGGLING, DANCING, HILARITY, and SWAYING (for the pensioners). Yes voters, GENERAL MUSICAL APPRECIATION is central to our policy of OVERALL FUN!
We shall polka them on the beaches. We shall waltz them in the nightclubs. We shall CARESS their EARS with joyous HARMONY and CALYPSO. Your festivals await us and WE ARE COMING to one near you.
Thank you for your vote.
The Orkestra
