Hungary appears to have forgotten they signed up for this pan-European thing.

(or, have they? MTV have now contacted us and announced that a song has been selected and will be presented "next week", i.e. the week starting 6 March)

Little is known about the modern Republic of Hungary, except that its people are descended from a restless Uralian tribe that brutally raided Europe in the 10th Century, and then settled down.

Modern scientific observations reveal that this innate restlessness persists, and a Hungarian will only be calm when sitting down.

Already in their debut entry to the Eurovision Song Contest in 1994, their leading acoustic guitarist was offered a seat. Later on, Csaba Szigeti was sitting peacefully by a piano, V.I.P had a relaxed evening on bar stools, and Magdi Rúzsa had to improvise a suitcase.

In the catastrophic occasions when a seat was not available, hell broke loose. Charlie could not maintain balance and struggled with his legs in vain for three minutes from hell; Szylvia of NOX overheated on her hyperactive tap dance and ripped off one of her trouser legs; and don't get us started about Zoli Ádok, because it's beyond sad.
