Eurovision 2014: Latvia’s Entry

In recent years the Eurovision entries have trended towards boring English-language power ballads or forgettable EDM stompers and away from the glitzy, over the top schlock-dramas that made the contest so deliriously silly.  But this year, as we’ve already seen from Malta, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, there is a strange move to folksy, bluegrass-y, acoustic Up With People happy-clappers.  Add Latvia to that list with their entry below, which seems right out of the Wiggles songbook. But hey, you do get a brief lesson in Latvian.
